I know most of you just read the word “Uggs” in the title and cringed. Images of bogans wearing fluro trackies and knee-high tan slippers from Big W (with flower embroidery.. ugh), chuffing on a ciggy and carting around their 3 screaming children are filling your head as you read.. Well I know thats what usually pops into my head when I think of the “Aussie Icon” that is the Ugg Boot.
As much as I usually can’t stand the sight of the things, espeially after spending a year at school in Bendigo (Sorry, fashionable B-town peeps, but you KNOW that its totally the Ugg-capital of Victoria), When I was asked whether I would like to try a pair from Aussie company Whooga, I thought heck, why not – my cheapo Hello Kitty slippers have just died, send them over!
I was pleasantly suprised by the packaging – I am a sucker for nice packaging for sure – it even has a lovely little ribbon that you untie, and the swirly writing is pretty.
And then, drumroll, the uggs themselves:
They are really comfy, and the colour is definately more to my taste than the classic tan colour you see everywhere. The inside is lined with soft sheepskin which is great after a long day at work or shopping!
As far as price goes, they are a little steep but I suppose that they are all 100% natural materials, and are way comfier than anything you’ll ever get from Big W.

i don´t like uggs much either. but i would wear black too if i decided to get uggs. whooga actually sent me an email that they wanted to offer my readers a gift certificate but i had to turn the offer down ´cause i had just recently posted that i don´t like uggs and they look like bread hahaha. i find it kind of ironic. but yeah… i love the cardi!

Uggs arent the most attractive boots but they get the job done about keeping your feet warm.

I agree with Morgan – their Job is keept you warm and cozy. thats what they do and they do it good. If it´s a fashion item – there are some many different opinions: some say yes and other say no.
