Should Men wear uggs?

1,489 217 January 11, 2011 at 09:15 PM in Chat Zappos
I'm sure you all know what uggs are...the boots that a lot of girls and women are wearing these days now and for the past several years.

So apparently they also make these for Men (I just realized..maybe i'm extremely late at realizing this, maybe not).....which I think is very awkward. I personally would never wear one myself but I would like to know what your take on this is.

This is an example:

http://www.zappos.com/ugg-classic-short-black~1 (doesn't look much different than the girl ones at all)

So vote whether you think men should wear uggs or not

Also as a bonus question for the guys:

As a guy....would you wear a pair of uggs?


p.s.

I have never seen a guy wearing uggs before.

Bunch of haters in here.

Guys... would you wear the UGG boots if they are very comfortable and WARM and if there were no prominent label on the back of the boot and it was only for your knowledge at the bottom of the boot?

Just the look of UGG would be enough to turn men off. The label doesn't really matter when people buy knockoffs of them all the time. For a boot that people claim to be so ugly, I see a lot of people wearing cheap knockoffs.

Definitely goes beyond the label for UGGs. FTR, I'm talking about traditional UGG. I know there are boots that look nothing like their traditional ones.

I actually saw a man wearing a pair of UGG tall traditional boots and I must admit I didn't really like it. To each his own, though. And at least his feet were warm!

You wouldn't even know these were UGG boots if you didn't see the label. Not all UGG boots equate to the traditional pair you typically see women wearing.

Wear whatever the hell you want I say.

Uggs could become trendy for guys and then I bet a lot of these naysayers would be wearing them. Look at how popular crocs got. People only think they look weird now cause no males are wearing them. That could easily change

if i wear boots, it's either raining/snowing or i'm about to get really dirty. these wouldn't do me much good in either situation.

i might be in the minority, but do people's feet really get that cold wearing normal shoes and socks? i used to walk around campus all the time with Sambas and crew socks, and it would have to get really cold before it affected my feet.

as for the comfort: i'd bet any amount of money that good running shoes are more comfortable than these over a long day.

I wouldn't wear them myself. But if DW wanted a pair I would definitely get her some.
