Things I Hate: Uggs

They have been gracing the streets of Toronto for some odd years, and before it was a little bearable. Now, every time I see these sheepskin boots, I want to gouge my eyes out.
What is so appealing about these stupid shoes?

1) They are ridiculously expensive. The lowest price I found for the boots on their website was $120.
2) They are usually made of suede, which as you know, is perfect for salt and exposure to the elements. In case you can't tell I am being sarcastic.
3) What sort of shape is this? These shoes have no imagination. It is just a big clunky shoe and some lines on them. Maybe once in a while they'll throw in some fur, but that's about it.

I just don't understand. The typical outfit that I see girls wear now is this: black tights, a branded sweater (American Eagle, TNA, what have you), and of course, these wretched shoes from the depths of fashion hell.

You know what is even more sickening? Guys LOVE it. Every single day, my boyfriend says to me: Uggs are so nice! Why don't you get a pair?

BECAUSE THEY ARE DISGUSTING AND COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC IN HARSH CANADIAN WINTERS. If I'm going to pay up to $200 for something, it better last me years.
I do admit that I have tried on a pair of Uggs slippers, and they are indeed very warm. But it would probably not last very long when you count all the ice, salt, snow and slush Canadians must endure every winter.

As every Ugg-hater jokes: Uggs are straight up Uggly.
