Like wearing slippers in public--but better!, December 31, 2005
I bought these shoes in a light pink in the summer and I haven't taken them off since. They are versitile, comfortable, warm and ideal for walking long distances and shopping.
Just before buying them I'd been wearing strappy sandles and heals for 10-14 hours/day. After showing up for a peddicure with scabs and scars all over my poor feet, my nail lady told me to try some Uggs. So I did. My feet have healed, they are well insulated and stay moisturized because of the thick lining.
The uggs are so comfortable, infact, that they have inspired me to walk to work--1.5miles each way. How many shoes can you say that about? There is no break-in period, and they feel like you are wearing nice slippers in public.
I don't worry about walking on ice in them because there isn't a heel to twist an ankle on, and there is plenty of traction. Better than docs for the bad weather, actually, because the soles don't freeze and they keep your feet PLENTY warm.
There are only three drawbacks: the suede--I didn't treat it quick enough and now the water marks show from walking in the snow; and the casualness of them. As soon as I find uggs in something that works with a suit I'm set for life! In the meantime, I wear them to walk to work, change shoes in my office, and then switch back into them if I know I'm not going to meetings for a while. The third is the height, while I like the shorter boot for under jeans, it isn't something that would look OK with anything else, and certainly looks goofy by itself.
These shoes are in my main closet with the rest of the shoes I will never part with--my docs and birks. They belong in that elite shoe category of classic, comfortable and well made. I can't wait to get another pair.

great boots but made in china, December 4, 2007
Uggs are the best boots for fall and winter. They have a great history of being perfect for ski resorts or other snowy settings. They have a good reputation based on their years being made in New Zealand. But they aren't made there anymore, they're made in china, and the difference is dramatic. While the Chinese Uggs are nice boots, they are nowhere as well made and the leather and fleece is much cheaper that it was during Uggs' better days.

Remember to Size Down, March 4, 2007
As recommended by the manufacturer, you should size down. I wear a size 8 tennis shoe and a size 8 UGG is way too big. However, I kept them because they seemed impossible to exchange as they are so popular right now.
Because they are a little big, I wear thick socks with them and it makes up for the size (incase they are sold out in your size and you really would like them). The only problem besides having to wear thick socks with them is they seem a little wide and bulky. But it's a small price to pay for how comfortable they are, definitely worth the price.
