Chaco vs. UGG

I recently was at a store with my mom. She was sick sick sick and tired of having uncomfortable shoes. She wanted blissfully happy feet, even if it came with the price of unattractiveness. (that is totally a word. it didnt even underline in red when I typed it.) So, at this store, which shall remain unnamed... lets just call it the Granola Store, we were searching and searching through various brands of shoes. Trying to find the one with the most support and most comfort... without being totally hideous. We asked why Chaco's were SOOOOOO much better than these other brands. A sales lady then said, "You should ask Gary (name has been changed for protection) what he thinks, he's our Chaco expert." Well, okay. So we wonder over to Gary and ask him why these hideous shoes are oh so wonderful. Well it turns out that Gary has 112 pairs of Chaco's.
I. KID. YOU. NOT!
For one thing, these shoes were like $115 each. For a second thing, THEY'RE SO UGLY!!!
Well, Gary then pulls out a magazine and says, "If you dont find anything you like here in the store, then we can order some from the Company Magazine. Also, they havent announced this yet, but I have connections, I hear that they're coming out with Chaco BOOTS for the winter. This is good because now women wont be spending ridiculous amounts of money on UGG shoes with zero support! I mean, why would women even buy those? They're not comfortable."
At this point I felt the word vomit coming up. I cant really help myself. Especially if I feel defensive about something that I love (like my WONDERFUL UGG boots). However, before I even have a chance to tell this tacky Granola worker where to go, an eavesdropping woman pipes up, "Um, I'll tell you why, they're WARM! You can walk outside in the snow in them. I'd like to see your mountain sandals give my feet the same kind of cozy comfort as my UGG boots do." BOOYAH!!! Oh my goodness I could kiss her feet!!!! Never have I been so grateful to have some stranger eavesdropping on my conversation.
As it is now getting quite chilly, I just want to say that I am OH-SO-GRATEFUL for my beautiful fur lined UGG boots! They make my toesies soooo happy. And to Gary the Granola Store worker, I just need to say one thing... dont knock it til you try it buddy!!!
