Facebook groups as a whole, have without a doubt taken off like a rocket to the sky, and not a beautiful rocket either. A horrid, mouldy, last season rocket covered in snardy remarks, obscene attacks and pointless banter. It was whilst staring aimlessly into the depth of these groups that I stumbled across a campaign-like group slating men wearing Ugg boots. Naturally I was disgusted.
It may come as a surprise to many that Ugg boots were, in fact, originally created for men. The sheep skin warmth was a man’s world, not, a woman’s. The boots however took off many years ago as women’s shoe wear and sales sky rocketed. However this rocket, was much more of a stolen one.
Today’s world is a dominantly metro-sexual environment. I myself, don’t flaunt Ugg boot’s. I much prefer swaggering around Carnaby Street with my patent, buckled (possibly fetish like) 22 boots, but who’s to tell a man what is and is not acceptable. With the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio sporting a pair surely this 21st century boot-y call is acceptable in today’s world.
With forward thinking morals, (and an eye for men in sheepskin) Fashion and So Much More is certainly flying the flag for men in Uggs.

I have to admit I am not fond of guys in uggs… If my future boyfriend ever sported them I would tell him to remove them instantly!

Men should not have to miss out on the warm snuggley delight that Uggs can bring on a crisp autumn day…

As much as I love the idea of Men wearing Uggs and in general bending traditional clothing barriers , Uggs they become the quintessential wardrobe element of lazy American girls who try to be stylish, but fail miserably.

English girls too Marc! The Ugg seems slightly stale now really. It has become so generic for girls to wear them that men are the only gender who could possibly pull the idea off and make it exciting.
