True, they are incredibly warm, I understand that aspect of the whole thing, but I was referring more to the uggs that are produced and manufactured for the sole purpose of the aesthetic, rather than the original uggs, because it's my understanding that there are the uggs designed after mukluks, as you mentioned, and then there are uggs designed after other uggs. So often here the snow is very wet, and the fabric used to make the uggs just get's soaked through.Xanian said:I hate the aesthetic of them, but have to argue that they are about the warmest thing I have ever put on my feet, and that they were pretty necessary when it started snowing here. They are WAY too hot to be slippers....just warm enough to be snow boots...and they keep my feet pretty dry, (though for rain, I use military rain boots.)Blair Bennett said:I said it in 2006 and I'll say it again now: Uggs. Seriously, think about this for a minute. Uggs are fucking slippers. I live in Vancouver. It tends to rain/snow/hail down hellfire on a fairly regular basis here, because our weather is just that awesome. Why in the name of God are you wearing woolen slippers out in 2 feet of snow?! I'm fairly certain they aren't waterproof.
Do not mistake me, it's not the shoes themselves I have any real problem with. I mean, yeah, they're not really my thing, but fashionable stuff rarely is. I don't delude myself into thinking that I am the epitome of style or whatever, but what I'm talking about here is really more how blatantly impractical, and how astoundingly uncomfortable this whole trend has become. They're boots that almost literally absorb moisture, and yet, at least 10% of the people I see outdoors in the pouring rain are wearing them.
Also, don't worry, I'm aware that our weather is incredibly mild compared to most places, but still, the boots are out of place.
Edit: Also, they're styled after mukluks....and I'mma trust an Eskimo on proper snow attire.
It's all in the wording. ;DNearing9 said:ah I see, it's all good then.![]()
I wouldn't exclude you based off that if I was hiring. As long your presentable, clothing clean and formal, good standard of grooming/self care, it's not a problem. Just like if someone was Middle Eastern, Indian or from some other country, they could wear their cultural clothing and as long as it's relatively formal it's not a problem for me.Eldarion said:I'd come to formal work meetings in Gothic clothing just to annoy you. Like, Victorian era type stuff. Top hat and a cape. What? Its totally formal clothing.![]()
Being from Australia, this actually took a moment to process. For a second I thought you were saying fat people shouldn't wear sandals/flip-flops.80sGuy said:Thongs on fat people.

Crocs are only useful in one situation, camping. I use them camping because the are easy to get on and off in the campsite, and canoeing I can remove them to get more comfortable and don't have to worry about moisture.Zekksta said:Crocs
They are stupid.
Buy a $400.00 pair of Kangaroo leather shoes. Comfortable as shit. Classy too. Get the soles and inserts replaced every 3-5 years and you're set.Dr. Pepper Unlimited said:It's not necessarily an accessory, but I'm going to say it anyway - pants or shorts that are twelve sizes too big, sag down so I have to see your underwear and you still, still insist on wearing a belt even though you clearly have no idea how to use them. You know who you are and I want to strangle you with that damned belt so it is at least put to some use. With that rant over, I will also include ties and men's dress shoes. I love dress clothes (that's practically all I wear) but our dress shoes are so uncomfortable. Whether the shoes are average price, or $200.00, they still suck to walk in.
