I'm 32 and wear them. I don't think they have age restrictions, hehe. I think the association some people have with them is the short jean skirt/ugg look, which is what most high schoolers around here still wear. I don't know how they wear them in summer...my feet would totally overheat!

Btw, I think crocs are horrid and will never wear them. Period.

I'm 27 and I wear them. But I would never wear them with a skirt or shorts. But I live in them in the winter. They're so warm and comfy.

I love my uggs! They are VERY comfy and they keep my feet super warm. I only wear them during the winter though.. it really annoys me whenever I see girls wear them in the summer and/or with a mini skirt.

I live in my Uggs in the winter, but I always wear them under my pants. They are so comfy and even keep my feet warm when it's -30C. There comes a point in the middle of winter when I don't care what I look like, I just want to stay warm!

However, I will never be caught in crocs.

I adore them! They're so comfy and warm... Really one of my best purchase ever!!!

LOL, I'm in my 50s and I have worn Uggs almost every day in the winter for the past several years!! I usually wear my pants tucked in or rolled up to the top of them.

There's no age limit on Uggs. It just depends on how you wear them!

[ItsMyWorld]

Warmth. They are for function, not fashion IMHO.

If you don't like the Ugg look, they also makes boots with the same sheepskin lining but a regular leather exterior and a more durable sole. Nothing especially cute but very comfy. Ugg also makes the best house slippers.

Unless you live in a cold climate, it's hard to understand the appeal of Uggs. Yes, they aren't the prettiest shoes. But there is nothing, anywhere, that keeps you warmer in the winter. I don't get all these people who say, "But there are alternatives." No, there really isn't! When it's like sub-zero outside, literally, you'll love your Uggs!

*brrrrr*

I thought Uggs were just a fad and avoided them. Costco has a similar short boot for $20. But when I snagged Broome boots price matched at Zappos from Saks last year at $65 and finally tried them on, they were soooo warm and comfortable.

I'm new to tPF, so if this has already been discussed ad nauseum, please direct me to the thread!

I love them, I have short ones i wear only as slippers.

I agree. I said "No WAY! They are UGGLY!!!" Now I have 5 pair. I always keep a pair in my car trunk just in case!

[pradaprincess]

I must admit, i used to really hate UGGS, everyone i knew had them and i really disliked them, until i put them on.
I love them now! i think i have 7 pairs, all different haha
i just got 2 new pairs this weekend, the leopard print and the brown camo print
yikes! They are the most comfortable thing ever though!
Even if you dont like them, i encourage you to put a pair on!
