It hasn't been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. "Ugg boots are not sey", the Independent declared in 2003, "unless you're Mrs. to find Mr. Bigfoot." When wearing the boots, a Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctica writer of The Gloss complained, "there's nothing to indicate that you don't have square, horrible shoe boes in place of human feet." In2015, one coffee shop on Bric Lane in east London even banned Ugg-wearers.And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with Uggs wasn't that they were ugly; it's that they were common.But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion's tomb the universal Ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you'll be shoced to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trips and by people in fashion.Perhaps the secret of Uggs' unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style, it might be a pair of cosy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(任性的). Somehow Uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.32.
