Even so, when our team caught wind ofUgg’s new Bea Mary Jane Slippers— a hybrid shoe-slipper that Frankensteins two Hollywood-approved footwear trends into one comfy boot — our ears couldn’t help but perk up.The Ugg Mary Janes, which are available now at Amazon, have made quite a splash since launching earlier this month. While they have all of the comforts of the brand’s tried-and-true slide slippers, their peek-a-boo hole adds a trendy twist that calls to mind Mary Jane flats we’ve seen on stars likeJennifer Lawrence,Katie Holmes, andGwyneth Paltrow.Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that these shoes will turn heads. Below, we asked PEOPLE staffers what they think about Ugg’s latest offering — and they aren’t holding back.Ugg Bea Mary Jane Slipper in ChestnutAmazon$120 at AmazonAlyssa Grabinski, celebrity shopping writer:“I’ve tried a lot of out-there fashion trends, but these just seem a little too impractical — even for me. They look plush, but I also fear that the hole on the top (which was the first thing I noticed!) wouldn’t bode well in winter. They also look too toasty for warm weather. This makes me question when I would wear them. Until I find the answer, I’ll be sticking with my current Uggs.”Ugg Bea Mary Jane Slipper in Mustard SeedAmazon$120 at AmazonHedy Phillips, style editor:“I have never met a shoe that I won’t try (except for maybe a stiletto that looks like it will break my ankle), but I’m especially down for one that looks like it is max comfort.”“The Ugg Mary Janes might be a bit of a weird hybrid — how do you actually style a shoe that is typically a dressier shoe that’s been turned casual? — but I’d be up for the challenge. I imagine I’d wear these with a maxi skirt, a pair of thermal tights, and a chunky sweater for winter, which mixes style and comfort (and will keep me warm).”Averi Baudler, senior shopping writer:“I actually kind of love these! It’s hard to make a classic pair of Uggs feel unexpected and new, but these add just enough intrigue to appear fashion-forward without sacrificing comfort or function. Chaotic in a good way.”Ugg Bea Mary Jane Slipper in BlackAmazon$120 at AmazonClara McMahon, Amazon shopping writer:“They remind me of slippers with an eye-catching twist; one that can zhuzh up an outfit without sacrificing comfort. I think the black would fit my wardrobe the best — it’s a sleek neutral that can pair with a variety of winter and spring looks, along with different sock colors.”Catherine Santino, style writer:“Like so many Uggs, these shoes look extremely comfortable but confusingly impractical. In what temperature is one supposed to wear a warm, fuzzy shoe with a hole in the top? I probably wouldn’t choose to wear these for this reason. I’d rather go for an actual pair of Mary Janes.”Head to Amazon now to check out the controversial newUgg Mary Jane slippersfor yourself.
