Morning! Ever since UGG boots became fashion a few years back, I've really liked them. However, I have not yet succumbed to buying a pair and the main reason for that is that I see alot of girls who drag their feet when they wear them, and that is a TERRIBLE look.
Now, I don't know why that happens, and thought if I spend £200 or however much they are, and then find that the same thing starts happening with mine, I'll be way pissed off. I wonder how and why that happens. Is it because the upper is too light and the bottoms heavy, there is no arch support, too wide or people are wearing a size too big which leaves a lot of room for sliding and dragging, or does it only happen to fake UGGs?
Can anyone enlighten me pls, why does the heel collapse in some UGG's??
In the meantime, here are a few pics from yesterday.

Personally, I think UGGs are terribly UGGly and wouldn't consider wearing them as out door shoes.
UGGs are called so, because noone would ever buy boots called UGGLY boots...
However, they have obviously came to be incredibly popular the past decade after glamour girls as Kylie and Kate M were seen wearing them - but theyhave been around forever, as Aussie sheep farmers have made these kind of boots /slippers from leftovers from the meat production for centuries, but the boots have mainly been used as in door slippers. So Aussies think Americans and Europeans are a bit weird to walk in slippers on the streets, like old housewifes would.
And you are perfectly right; dragging you'd feet behind you is a terrible look - and even worse in UGGlies...
But whether your Uggs will collaps or not mostly depends on the way you walk. I'm sure cheaper versions collaps easier, but as you say, there is no arch support at all and the whole boot is a very soft/unstable contruction so it will completely adapt to the way you walk. Hence, Uggs are meant for in door use and not for walking long distances in out doors.
Most people also have a walk where their feet/heels slope slightly inwards, and thereof the collapsed boot. It's easy to find out to what group of walkers you belong; just study the soles of a pair of flats you have already worn for some time. Most people will find that the inside of the heel part if the sole is more worn, as most people tend to walk with a slight inward slope of their feet. Very few people will find an evenly worn sole, wich means that they have a completely straight walk. And a few will find the outer side of the sole being the most worn (myself), which means that our feet slope slightly outwards when we walk.
So people with a straight walk would run the least risk of collapsed Uggs, people with outwards sloping feet/walk are a little risky when buying Uggs with intentions of walking long distances in them. And people with inwards sloping walk should probably stay away from using Uggs as walking foot wear.
Knowing your walking/ running style is obvioulsy also good for knowing what trainers/runners to buy for working out ;)
So to make the world and especially your feet a little happier and buy your Uggs for in door purposes only
Lisa; Wow, now that is one long comment about just UGG boots. Thanks for the useful info!
