OK, im in the middle of an arguement with one the girls here about those dumb fucking boots called UGZ.

is it me, or are they the single most stupid article of clothing a woman can wear, i actually find them un attractive. im not alone, essentially all the guys i know say the same.

what do all the guys think about this, cuz im supposed to buy a pair for my sister and i refuse to help her look like an idiot.

does anyone with a mule actually think gals shoudl wear them>?

Re: poll for the MS men... re:women attire

Ugz and Crocs = the two dumbest things i've seen humans put on their feet. Was shopping with the wife a few weeks ago and saw a bunch of idiot @ 13-15 yr old teens looking like trashy whores walking the mall in miniskirts, wife beaters...and ugz. I seriously wanted to give them a good slapping like their mothers should be doing.

Guess Im not hip enough to know what in the hell ugz are. When I did a search, closeest thing I came up with were these-

And yes, they are damn ugly. Fugly for that matter. I never really liked the boots with the cheezy fur liner at the top which I believe started as a European trend a few years back.

They are fucken rank. Whoever made people decide that looking like you stuck your foot up an otters ass and trimmed it with white fluff is a good thing should be taken out. And Crocs: are they those plastic things which actually advertise themselves as being the ugly as hell? No argument from me.

That makes absolutely no sense. Why in the world do you think that a woman would buy you an x-box just because you got her a pair of fugly boots? And just to as why you would buy them in the first place when you hate them so much kinda make you a hipocrit in this arguement. Geezzz....

What? . All she talks about is how much she wants a pair, but she knows I think they are fugly, so she can't justify spending several hundred dollars on a pair. Just like I can't justify spending $400 for a 360 when she dispizes video games and thinks they are a waste of time. I am not buying them for her to get a 360, I am getting them for her becuase its something she would never buy for herself. ( I am just secretly hoping that she is using the same thought process and is setting me for a big christmas suprise by continually saying "There is NO FUCKING WAY we are getting another video game system in this house".:D

Not a fan. Only the hottest of the hot can pull these off.

[QUOTE=Jenks;419867]Ugz and Crocs = the two dumbest things i've seen humans put on their feet. [/QUOTE]

I don't really put these in the same group. My wife has a pair of Crocs and loves them, although she'll freely admit that they look ridiculous. They're incredibly comfortable, so she wears them around the house, running errands around town, etc. I know a number of people, male and female, that wear them in exactly the same way. Hell, I've tried them on and thought about getting a pair myself, because they do feel great. I don't know anyone that thinks they are anything other than purely utilitarian, though.

Ugz are the Scientology of the footwear world -- someone made a bet that she could get people to pay ridiculous sums of money to look ridiculous, and she's laughing all the way to the bank. That, I think is the difference: people who wear Ugz may say they know they're ugly and give any of a number of rationalizations, but the bottom line is that they are a fashion statement/status symbol that says, "I am willing to wear the butt-ugliest things on my feet in the world to highlight the fact that I am willing to spend $200 on something that doesn't even look good."

In contrast, no one sees someone in a pair of Crocs -- which you can buy for $30 pretty much anywhere you look -- and thinks, "Well, that person is showcasing their wealth." They do look absurd, but when it comes to running errands and stuff like that, I'm long past the point of giving a frog's green ass what I look like when I'm doing it. Now if people are wearing these things out on the town, perhaps we need to sit these folks down and have a little tete-a-tete, but I'm not aware that's going on.

OMG- I had no idea what so ever that they were that damn expensive. I would have a hard time justifing myself!

Those were my thoughts exactly, as I have heard that exact same statement before. Best of luck to you!

Do you actually make an effort to get all gussied up when going to the [B]mall[/B]? I'm not suggesting that just going with boxer briefs and track shoes ought to be enough, but when I'm heading to the mall, I'm not thinking about anything more than doing what I need to do. I mean, I don't go out of my way to look like a fool, but I'm not going to iron something either just because I need to leave the house, either.

Of course, I'm married, so that might have something to do with my ambivalence about such things. Before you know it, I'll be standing on my lawn in knee-high black socks, sandals, and a bathrobe yelling at the neighbor kids to slow down. ;)

Those are good points, however I have found it to be an unfortunate truism, that if you look nice, you will get better service. Espeically in higher end places.

[IMG]http://www.queenstown.co.kr/design/queenstown/ugg-pictures/all-model-.jpg[/IMG] they can look good on chicks, but they were trendy like 3 years ago, the back lash was huge from what i recall, i mean a fucking forum about john digweed is taking shit about them. They are fucking comfortable though, sheep skin is almost as awsome as cashmere, almost.

dude, we have the Americana Manhasset where i live, which makes Rodeo Drive look like the bootleg shops in midtown manhatten. they dont even open the doors unless you are wearing a suit. [URL]http://www.americanamanhasset.com/50.htm[/URL]

but good god, they have some remarkable clotheirs and the brooks brothers store there doesnt even have suits for sale, just fabric and make your suit on site.

That's true, but you know, if someone is going to ignore me because I don't "look the part," they can miss out on whatever commission they would earn from the sale, IMO. When I go to the store, I tend to have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to get and just go in and get it without lingering around or mulling around the store waiting for someone to come to me. Honestly, I'm a commissioned sales person's dream customer because I don't waste their time.

It does crack me up a bit to see the change in demeanor that can occur if the person I'm dealing with should happen to figure out that I'm actually a pretty successful guy. I remember after getting married last fall, my wife and I went to the bank to get our accounts consolidated, but we did it on a Saturday morning on our way to the gym, so we were both dressed, well, like we were going to the gym. Things were going along in pretty unremarkable fashion until we got into the particulars, and the gal actually said, out loud, "Wow, I had no idea" -- which I thought was pretty rude -- and then the dog and pony show began. :roll: I'm thinking, "Oh, NOW you're interested in what's going on here?" Dumb ass.

Don't get me wrong, though -- I don't look like a complete scumball when I go to the mall, I just don't go out of my way to dress to the nines. Jeans and a t-shirt, mostly.

god its so true, when i went down to miami to do the liquor audit at our club in the hard rock, and i never wear a suit there, usually just go in wearing jeans and a tee.(its a club afterall and i own part of it), and the bouncer wouldnt even let me in the door. im standing there laughing at him, trying to avoid any loudness, telling him im actually part of the ownership group, and there for business. so after 5 minutes trying to call our manager, i get him and he comes running out all huffed.
