Uggs: They are a fashion monster, and yet, many people swear by their comfort. But teens and pre-teens at one Philadelphia-area middle school won’t be allowed to wear them anymore, either way. That’s because officials at Pottsdown Middle School feel that Uggs offer an all-too convenient hiding place for contraband cell phones. (If there had been cell phones when I was in high school, I would have failed.)

Those found sporting the hideous, mobile-phone-hiding footwear will receive detention. The Uggs ban may hopefully have unintended positive consequences — like pushing better footwear decisions upon teen girls. [Reuters]

Just in case you’re still on the fence, here are 10 arguments for Uggs and 10 arguments against — make your own informed decision, and let us know in the comments which side you’re on!

Winter is on its way, which means all of us ladies are at risk for mistaking leggings for pants. But there’s hope! Three shots of Uggcitrin, the only vaccine for the Uggs boot virus, can protect you from purchasing oversized elephant shoes forever. Unfortunately, it does not protect you from Uggs if you already own a pair.

What are you waiting for? Get your Uggcitrin vaccine today! (P.S. I don’t care if other people think they’re ugly — I still desperately want a pair of Uggs anyway.) [NYmag.com] Keep reading »

What Your Bad Fashion Choices Are Really Saying

Amelia McDonell-ParryJanuary 11, 2011 //

Apparently, when I just walked to the deli to pick up a Diet Coke (the only one I’ve had all day, as I am trying to kick the habit), my outfit — which includes striped leggings tucked into Uggs — communicated to my doorman that I’m a trendy and spendy slut who forgot to put on pants. Oh wait, he knew that already. [I Love Charts] Keep reading »

Do Uggs Cause Foot Fungus?

Annika HarrisJanuary 7, 2011 //

Fungi like to breed in dark, wet places, and Uggs provide the perfect conditions, says Dr. Olivier Zong, a podiatrist and director of surgery at NYC Footcare. But not all podiatrists agree with Dr. Zong. Dr. Howard Shapiro, a DPM with Manhattan Podiatry, says any shoe or sock can provide a dark, damp environment, not only shearling-lined Uggs. “Uggs have a wool lining so if anything I would think that they would absorb the sweat [that leads to foot fungus],” said Dr. Shapiro to Fashionista. “Foot fungus affects about 40 percent of the population,” he added. “Prior to Uggs it was still affecting 40 percent of the population.”

I’ve found that wearing nylon trouser socks feels more comfortable in my shearling-lined boots than cotton ones, which don’t wick moisture away from the feet. As a result, my feet don’t sweat as much. But there are other precautions you can take to prevent foot fungus, like using an antiperspirant, changing socks and shoes daily, and protecting cracking and peeling skin with an anti-fungal topical medication.

Does Tamara Mellon’s Explanation Excuse The Jimmy Choo Uggs?

Annika HarrisDecember 21, 2010 //

Wondering how the hideous collaboration between Jimmy Choo and Ugg Australia came about? Let Tamara Mellon, Jimmy Choo founder and creative chief officer, explain:

“Uggs were my guilty pleasure until I was on a flight to London and the airline staff said, ‘We’re all so excited to see what shoes you’re wearing!’ I had Uggs on. So now we’ve done a collaboration where I took traditional Uggs and decorated them with the DNA of Jimmy Choo — animal prints and studs.”

I think we can all probably agree that Uggs were doing just fine without an injection of Jimmy Choo DNA. [The Cut] Keep reading »

Do Not Want: Sequined Ugg Boots

Is it just us, or are Uggs experiencing some form of horrible mutation? After the original came the colors—pink, purple, and the like. Then there was Jimmy Choo‘s studded and fringed monstrosity. And now this: sparkly, sequined Ugg boots. People, stop the Uggsanity! [High Snobette] Keep reading »

Video Proof Guys Like Uggs

Leonora EpsteinDecember 10, 2010 //

World, meet Joshua Ferguson, a teenage (we think? Pre-teen?) boy with a love for Uggs. He’s taken to YouTube to do super detailed reviews of his own Uggs and his family’s pairs … and let’s just say, combined, there are a lot of Uggs under one roof. You might fall asleep listening to all the technical specs and informational details of different models he discusses … but there’s something strangely engrossing about this because you just can’t help wondering—is Ugg paying a young boy to do this? Or someone else? Or is this a true passion for furry elephant feet boots? [YouTube] Keep reading »

Ugg Offers More Than Its Classic Boot

Annika HarrisNovember 1, 2010 //

Last week, I attended a soiree to celebrate the opening of a new Ugg Australia store in NYC. I won’t lie–I expected to see shelf upon shelf of Ugg’s standard boot in every height and color imaginable, and I wasn’t disappointed. But there was so much more. I died for the Cayha sneaker, a classic shape sneaker in suede with a sheepskin lining. And many of the other shoes and boots were really hot and on-trend, too. Plus, there were some lust items, like a sheepskin coat that reminded me of the one Lisa McDowell wears in “Coming to America.” Did you know Uggs does home decor, too? Find out how you can win a pair of non-classic boots from Ugg Australia and check out some of the drool-worthy items after the jump. Keep reading »
