She might be there, lurking in the depths of the darkest, iciest winter nights, hovering in the shadows. Yes, these boots are for the Abominable Snowgirl in all of us. And she’s so scary, we should never let her out!

Ugg has (finally) re-vamped their collection – and image, while they’re at – by starting to make semi-decent shoes, but so it goes: there is now a new hideous boot waiting first in the line to take Ugg’s place. I’m trying with all my might (maybe I need to channel my inner Yeti for strength) to find one positive thing about the Mou antelope fur “cowboy” boots, but I’m realizing thinking of anything good is as difficult as looking at them. Hoof-like, critter-esque, so wrongfully chunky and a little creepy – that tail-like pull-tab isn’t helping matters. What was that they say about if you don’t have anything nice to say…? So much for that! Please tell me, anyone find these appealing? For $575? That’s what I thought.
