Dear Ugg Haters

Dear Ugg Haters of the world,

I used to be just like you. I looked at girls with Ugg boots on, and I mocked them mercilessly, pointing and laughing at the horrendous creature on their feet. I, however, saw the light. One day, my seventh grade friend urged me to try on her boot. "Just one foot," she said. I slid the boot on and DAMNIT! they touched my "sole" (haha, get it?) Anyway, that Christmas, I coveted my own pair of Ugg boots. Nothing crazy, just your standard short, chestnut, size 7 boots. I wore them almost every day. They went with every outfit. They weathered the snowy winter, and they kept my delicate feet extremely toasty. And you know what else? They're not even that ugly. Yes, compared to my gorgeous Ralph Lauren Vina boots, they're not the most attractive booties on the shelf, but on a scale of 1 to 10, they're about a 6, maybe even a 7. In fact, they often pull together many an outfit and save me from being late to class because I can't decide on what shoes to wear (the chestnut color goes with almost everything)

Furthermore, the Ugg boot is not a trend. If you think they're just a fad, a six year long fad at that (-___-), then look around come October and you'll see that the boots are right back where they belong: on every sensible girl's feet.

I'm tired of you people going on and on about your desire to see the Ugg boot gone forever. Suck it up. Buy a pair or shut up.

Au Revoir
