Fugg Boots 3.0: The Regina Boot
Because the world always needs a new winter-boot money pit that hipster sheep in LA can wear without reason:
Meet Regina boots, which run $239 to $450 at a New York boutique run by an Aussie woman who loudly decries Ugg boots as only being worn by Australian thugs. Curious that her salvo in the battle to eradicate Uggs is to pimp another fugly piece of footwear that Pamela Anderson-types can wear with hot pants. It's sort of like offering to replace the trucker hat with a trucker-newsboy hybrid that has all the space for ironic messages, but with none of the mesh.
Thank you, lady. You've given us "C" in what promises to be a multiple choice question of neverending growth, "What is the most hideous pair of so-called 'trendy' boots? (A) Uggs, (B) Mukluks..." Thanks a pantload. Unless dog-sledding is about to become the new poker, in which case, you are both a sporting and a sartorial psychic.

THese are everywhere in Norway, where I live. They really do keep your legs warm, warmer than leather boots would. They are kind of a necessity in snow ridden places like Norway. They are NOT worn with hot pants here! Maybe thick tights and a wool pleated mini skirt. I have a pair in black, though not quite so extreme. In white they look like Pomeranians got stuck on your feet.
