The $140 Question: To Ugg or Not To Ugg

I have made it 27 years without owning a pair of Uggs, however the time may have come for me to submit to the Australian shoe-slipper. I found out I’ll be on crutches until the end of March, so I’ve been seriously considering purchasing a pair to get me through the New York winter. Before you judge me, just hear me out.

Pros:

1. Comfortable
2. Keep feet warmer than Nike Mary Janes
3. Available in leg brace friendly “short” height

Cons:

1. Expensive
2. Semi Ugly
3. Snooki wears them (Exhibit A)
