DECK:
My daughter and wife have a couple of pair

That would add to my concern. They already bought, as so many have. How much repeat business could there be then? In your case, you're already a four pair family.

...Hmm... The positive side might be the appeal does seem to extend across generations. The boots (or whatever they are called) are sold to teens as well as moms. (Just assuming age differences here -- have no idea of course the ages or difference in ages between your daughter and your wife. For all I know, your wife could be same age or even younger than your daughter. -g-)

DECK... Is Uggs outdated??? Not sure but like I said people are wearing them as it gets colder, I see them everywhere. I visited Lord & Taylor and Nordstrom and people were buying them over the weekend also

My guess is that the vast majority of America cannot afford Lord and Taylor or Nordstrom; many have never even seen one. Every year there are more knockoffs, "bear paw" etc. and they are almost as good and much cheaper. Today, when many don't know what their income will look like next year much less in the next 5 years, IMO there is a leaning towards similar but cheaper with most things.
