A paie of Uggs.

I have a scra on one ankle which aches terribly if my feet get cold. I have bought a £10 of fake (very fake) Uggs as slippers and my feet have been so warm and so toasty I can't help thinking that I should ge a pair of the real McCoy for outdoors.

Help me please

ease yourself with some emus. Much cheaper, just as toasty.

Trust me, I'm an Aussie

Do it. They're so ubiquitous now it's just like wearing jeans anyway.

and only ever wear indoors.

Not for public ocular (??) consumption, either of 'em

Succumbed last year - bought two more pairs in New York due to price difference.

You can never go back!

well, my first pair of just sheepskin boots are almost worn out after nearly 2 years of rain and miles of pushchair pushing and I am going to get another pair of boots even if I have to eat budget baked beans and scrape together the money to get them. Uggs / Emus / Just sheepskins etc are so boomin' warm and dry you will be converted.

Give in, give in, give in! I too resisted for years. Just got a pair on Saturday and they are so incredibly cosy. I suffer terribly from freezy cold feet and have always worn my normal leather boots with sheepskin insoles in winter. But these are just on another level. However, I have turned into the most boring person because all I want to talk about is my boots. I have Uggs but Celtic Sheepskin come highly recommended and a good bit cheaper.

also wavering, but for a rocketdog equivalent.

but do they make short-arses look even shorter and chunkier, do you think??

I have been an Ugg-hater, but have just bought some!

They are so warm and cosy. I still think they look hideous - but I have been brainwashed.
