Heard from a Texas friend that girls who wear duck boots are trashy. Is this true?
 

Soo I have no idea if this is true, but one of my friends said that in Texas girls who wear duck boots are "rednecks' or "trashy". I am wondering if this is true. See, I need new boots for the cold and snow. I do have a pair of uggs but I they are getting worn. On TFM, they are always commenting on LL Bean boots/duck boots. If girls wear duck boots, is that trashy? I need opinions because I want new boots! Other boot options would be nice :)

A better question: Aren't you too old to conduct a survey to determine which boots to wear?

My puppy just ate my last pair of boots. I bought a pair of booties from target that look exactly like the ones at Steve Madden for over half the price. even though I love Steve Madden, go for what YOU like. Who cares what everyone else thinks.

TFM is entertaining, but is not a source for reliable information, even when it comes to your boots.

Get the ones you like the best. If you aren't a trashy person, boots won't make you look like one.

Why do people bother with Uggs for snow? They're the warmest shoe I've ever owned, but they don't keep my feet very dry if I have to walk through a lot of snow (and with my commute, that's likely to happen). Once it gets snowy out, I wear heavy duty, waterproof boots.

I just asked my Texan mom and she said it depends on what part of Texas you are from. She said that in the city it's not considered trashy (she's from Houston) but she said that out in hill country it can be seen that way in rural areas.

^^ Better question.

I've only seen women wearing these boots in the rain (I've lived in the hill country and in DFW). I can't imagine them being worn at other times.

Even when I lived in Maryland, they were only worn during inclement weather or while walking near the shores. I don't know how they'd be considered fashionable.

I just had to google duck boots to find out what they were. Granted Ive never set foot in an LL Bean much less know where one is but Ive lived in Texas my entire life. Ive seen girls wear rain boots as a fashion statement but unless you're going duck hunting (and I really hope youre not) then I dont see these as fashionable but more as utilizate-able? For lack of the word Im trying to think of.

I do too :D

:D

They really are though! You know that episode of Seinfeld where George has that massive Russian fur hat and he says he doesn't even need a coat because the hat is so warm? (I hope someone knows what I'm talking about...) Well it's kinda like that, but with my feet, lol

ETA: Two pair Ugg club too, lol

Taking TFM seriously...

Uggs are fine if it's not wet or snowing. They are the warmest.

In rain or snow though North Face boots = TFM.
