IF they are so practical, why do we have this thread stating . . .
and asking if they can be exchanged? I'd say that makes them totally impracticable.

Once they are waterproofed, as per the care instructions they are fine, however as the child dropped water from a bottle rather than was dancing around in puddles I'd say it was a bit of a freak accident rather than the impracticability of the boot.

Personally I don't see what any of this has to do with the OP's question anyway. What business is it of yours if she chooses to buy her child Ugg boots? You don't like them, big deal, OP obviously does and as it's her money and her child then it's her right.

Well pardon me for having an opinion on a public forum. Should kids shoes need to be waterproofed before use? They're just a fashion item aren't they . .

It's not about having an opinion on a public forum though is it. If you want to debate the merits or lack thereof of Ugg boots on kids then there are discussion forums further down where you can do just that to your hearts content.

This is the Consumer Rights board, a board which folk tend to visit when they have got problems they desperately need help with. What they come here for is advice and help to deal with those problems, they don't come here to be ridiculed by people for the things they choose to spend their hard earned on and their own personal tastes.

Whether you like Uggs is completely irrelevant to this thread. You offered no practical advice to the OP whatsoever and the only thing that I can add to that is perhaps if you can't offer advice, and can't say anything nice, say nothing.

My oh my :silenced:

I won't say anything about the dangers of children wearing 'em. Oh sorry I just did.

Not very practical though, eh?

OH's had jeans and Uggs under a maxi dress for the last few days. That with a coat has kept her warm

Yeah but . . . your OH can decide for herself, she isn't your baby daughter.

With each step the wearer's feet slide around. This can cause the feet to splay which flattens the foot arch and leads to wear and tear on the joints in the feet, knees, hips and back.

As a result leading podiatrist and chiropodists have seen a stark rise in the number of women suffering toe deformities, backache and pain in their feet.
They have expressed their concern and warned against children wearing the unsupported boots as their feet are still forming, increasing the risk of long-term damage.

Sorry can you show me where OP states the child can walk?

societys_child

I don't think your sorry at all. Still think they're unsuitable if a drop of water can cause a stain.
