I just ordered Ugg downtown boots (after the transit strike here, I realized that I really need something to keep my feet warm in the winter!). They fit but they're a bit tight in the calves-- or at least it is a little hard to shove jeans in there when I have socks on. But my sister says that Uggs are designed to be worn without socks-- that's why they have such a soft lining. Sounded crazy to me... but does anyone know if she's right?
I always felt weird about wearing them without socks, but low socks don't stay on my feet when I wear them and I'm not a big fan of high socks, so I go without any now.
I've always worn them barefoot...I think that's part of the appeal, being able to go sockless. No wonder it caught on in Cali like wildfire, as the winter alternative to flip-flops.
