Are UGG boots still cool?

Just checking in for my pop culture references. Are UGGs still "in"?

For the ladies, yes. For men, not sure they ever were. Despite Tom Brady's best efforts to convince me otherwise.

They are what you wear when it's too chilly to wear your orange Crocs.

I do have a pair of camo lined Crocs that my mom bought me that I wear as slippers, when running out to pick kid(s) up from practice and bringing the dog out in the morning when it's cold. I've never been accused of being cool, though.

On the plus side, my kids are horrified whenever I wear them so it's all worth it.

When your feet are cold, "in" is irrelevant.

For me, they're for the first 90 minutes I'm awake. Keep my feet nice and warm while all those early morning activities are happening.

I work on a lot of college campus' and I see the younger girls wearing them but not the older ones. Also see a lot of "tweens" wearing them.

As Kartek alluded to already, amongst women students in college, they are still popular. At least in CA this is the case.

I have a pair.

I wear them when I go boarding or to the snow - they are warm. But you will lost man points amongst the guys. Girls think its cool though, so it's all good.

Thanks everybody for letting me know where UGH boots stand. I feel like a part of things again.

But I'm not ON Facebook! This is my only outlet for asking dumb questions on the Internet!
