Need help with a decision on my Uggs...
Permalink Closed

Basically, the problem is this: I ordered my Uggs last year (Classic Talls in Sand), and the smallest size they had at the time was a 5. I'm a 5.5 shoe normally, so when I got them, they were somewhat loose; not horrible, but not a perfect fit. I kept them, because it had taken me so long to get them and I really wanted them.

I have worn them, but I always do with socks. Even though that does make them fit slightly better, they're still a teeny bit loose.

This year, I get the Ugg catalog and see that they NOW offer my style in a size 4. I'm fairly certain that this size would fit me the way it's supposed to. I'm also more or less 100% sure that I'm going to buy this new size because I want my freakin boots to fit me properly.

The problem comes in with trying to figure out what to do with my current, size 5 boots when I get the new size. I have somebody interested in buying them, but responses are taking forever. If I do end up not selling my current pair, I have 2 scenarios I need to pick from on what to do:

1) Order a new pair, in the same color I currently have. I would then keep trying to sell my old ones, and if that doesn't work, use them as slippers in the house.

2) Order a new pair, but in the Chestnut color. I would also order extra insoles for my Sand pair (to help them fit better). I would wear the Sand color on days where the ground wasn't gross and the Chestnut ones when it was (since they're darker and would hide stains/water spots better).

Any opinions or advice? Which scenario do you think I should go with?

At this point, me spending $140 on another pair of Uggs isn't really fazing (sp?) me, so that's not a deciding factor.

I'm just a little ticked that they didn't make these things smaller last year when I ordered mine

I vote for #2, if it dosent faz (sp?) you to spend $ on another pair

I have both colors the sand and chestnut. I have 1 tall and 1 regular height. I love having 2 pairs to choose from. I do want to say that the chestnut still shows water spots. I thought the same as you but I quickly realized that they got dirty just as easy. It might just be me being picky because I love my uggs so much that I dont want them to get ruined too quickly.


I would order the inserts and see how they fit. If you still want another pair, and who wouldn't, them get the chestnut. Oh and I got mine in kid sizes when the womens were all sold out. They are less than 1 inch shorter than the womens. hth

See this is where I'm at a standstill: They currently don't have the inserts in my size and won't be getting any for awhile.

I feel attached to the Sand color too, and I just KNOW that I would wear the better fitting pair way more, no matter what I tell myself now.

I have thought about kid's sizes before, but I really like the talls and they don't make them for kids

Yeah, my brain hurts trying to figure out what to do.

I'm crossing my fingers that this girl ends up buying my pair and I can use that money towards a new pair....

I'm aiming for about half of the original price, since I only wore them about, maybe 20 times? They're in extremely good condition with no stains or spots...

I do know that the loose factor of my current pair bothers me, no matter how hard i try not to let it.

My goal is to sell them, but if I don't, I don't. I keep leaning towards keeping the pair of 5's as a nice, expensive slipper for my house, , and wearing a new pair for outside wear.

I will definitely let you know if she doesn't want them! I've already got pics too, so I wouldn't even need to retake them.

Perhaps I can tell her that I have someone else now interested so I'll need a decision soon, lol. You know, light the fire...

I am unsure about keeping my classic short uggs from Nordstrom.  I bought two pairs of them in both orange and blue.  Blue is lighter than I thought (not the pretty cornflower shade), and they are both sort of loose in size 8 (I'm usually an 8.5 or 9).  I almost bought size 7, but the shade selection was not there.


Don't know if I can do better than 59.99 at Nordstrom.  Now, the only shade available is white.  Size 7 is gone.  It figures


Are my boots worth keeping for bang around shoes/slippers??


Thanks,


A
