Yeah... Uggs are Aussie... but they really don't offer any foot support..

Actually, I think the best thing would be to wear shoes that you already own and are broken in. You will be doing a LOT of walking while you are here, and it's not the time to put on a brand new pair of shoes that are stiff or give you blisters.
Unless you buy them now and wear them for a few weeks before your trip...
I suggest something comfortable, with a decent insole. It might help to get something in black that you would wear as a casual day walking shoe, but also at night to a restaurant. If they have Merrell shoes in Australia, those are a good example.
Additionally, I would definitely bring a pair of sneakers/tennis shoes for heavy sightseeing/walking days.

Uggs would seem to be a natural for an Australian. Remember you will be walking a lot so comfortable shoes are a must. My wife and I both wear Mephesto shoes for walking. For February consider the ones with gore-tex lining to keep your feet dry.
Have Fun

Anything that is warm and comfy for you.
I have seen people in flip flips in the dead of winter here, so unless you are coming to NYC in hopes of modeling, just make sure you wear something warm (its COLD here in feb!).
Alot of people say Uggs, I agree, nothing keeps your feet warmer.
Timberland boots also.
Sneakers are always a good bet.

depends where you're staying and what the weather will be like. most likely you're going to be in downtown manhattan as that's where all tourists stay. the good thing about that is it's cleaned immediately of dirt and snow and all that. you can wear whatever you want for the most part. just be comfortable.
and uggs? that's the aussies' fault? jesus christ please take those ugly things back. people actually think they look good with them on. HAHAHAHAHAHA. i swear the sheep in this nation will believe anything they see on a billboard. what's sad is, people are STILL wearing them. EWWWW. talk about a fashion horror.. in NYC of all places.
