Not long after I posted my UGG-ly rant, I was perusing the clearance rank at REI and spied a pair of extremely comfy, warm-looking slippers. They were so plush inside I could only fit in a size one larger than normal. They weren't the cutest things ever, but after days on end of nothing but thin socks between my feet and the surprisingly cold wood floor of my new apartment, I was all about warm, fuzzy, and practical.
Then I spied the label... UGG. Ah, yes, life does have a sense of irony. At least I can stand firmly behind my opinion on UGG boots, but I have to admit the slippers are damn comfortable and much more plush than anything else I've seen. However, at $70 on clearance I'm still unlikely to break down and buy them. I've ordered a much more sensibly priced pair of loafer slippers from amazon.com... though they are probably not quite as plush inside, damn it.
I shake my fist at you UGGs.
