DD has several pairs in various colors. They're a lifesaver. At this time of year.

I wouldn't think anything at all for a child over 3 or 4. Maybe even 2.

Under 2, though, I'd think the parent was a complete idiot for spending that kind of money and that they must be a FTM.


Baby uggs are $50. Our then 18 mo wore them all winter, and now, a year later,, discovered them and wants to wear them again. No other shoe ever came close. We are about to buy adult like ones. we are expecting another girl but I don't think we will be able to pass uggs down, maybe if they were not worn all the time.

If you have the money to spend on them who cares what others think? My 18month old has hot pink ones with bows on them, I think they are adorable and her feet are warm on the playground. If they are too small next winter I'll buy another pair. This summer she went through 3 pairs of seekairun sandals at 40$ a pair because her foot kept growing. It is what it is, I'm not going to stop buying her shoes.

If you want to buy your daughter Uggs, get her them. Why care what other people think?

No need to buy anything ever because you worked for it and you want the "real thing" not the cheap knock off.

My mother gasped in horror when she saw my daughter's Uggs. "Why did you buy her those expensive boots?!!" My response, "Because I can. So fuck yourself"


What a heartwarming story about a lovely family.

I was at an open gym in MoCo this weekend and the cubbies were filled with real, very small Uggs. My 6 year old wants them but I haven't bought them yet.

My 6 year old had pink Uggs. When she was 7, she had purple Uggs. She's now 10 and has tan Uggs. So what... As a matter of fact her feet are different sizes (a difference of 1.5 sizes between feet) and Uggs happen to be the type of thing that will fit her. Besides, what does anyone else care about my daughter's shoes?

I would think any parent who is spending that kind of money on growing children's clothing or shoes is REALLY bad with money. And I would hope that federal taxes would not support her financial aid request when the time comes, as her parents were bad with money throughout the years. You asked.



Because only deserving people take advantage of government aid.

Why would you assume the parents need financial aid? I have bought several pairs of Uggs for my young kids over the last couple of years, and you will never see a financial aid app from us. For some people, a $100 pair of boots is the same as a $10 pair of boots to someone else.


+1

Or $500 shoes for me

I taught a 4 year old preschooler who had real Uggs. My feeling was that while I wouldn't spend my money on such things for a young child, if that's what her mom wanted to do, it really was none of my business.

We've had ours three years. Bought biggish. They stretch out also. Have heard from my penny pinching sis that they are ugly, they will go out of style etc ect. meanwhile we'ver had 3 years of VERY happy wearing.
