I don't know why its even an issue in the DC area. Its not exactly a place for genuine "fashion".

They are ugly, but I'll admit, I (50 y.o.) throw my daughters on when I'm running out for a quick errand, drop off, etc. They are quite warm and comfy and so easy to slip on.

I am 46 and I have been wearing them every year for the past 9 years. I couldn't give a rats ass what the "kids" are wearing nor would I steer away from that. They keep my frigging feet warm and they are comfortable. I will continue to buy them every two years until I drop.

You should check out the Ugg web site. There are plenty of styles that aren't as clunky and that aren't the same as what "the kids" wear. I found a nice, very warm pair this year that look like normal boots.

35 here and buy a new pair every two years. I have yet to find something better for commuting in the winter.
