Snow friendly work boots: Ugg's Men's Butte
By fotospinner
I bought these boots in black to make a statement while using my snowblower in a blizzard. Of course, no one was around then, but the statement was to my toes, which thanks to my Ugg Butte boots were dry as well as nice and warm during the entire operation. The boots were comfortable from the start, requiring no break-in period, and I am sure they looked as good as they felt, although absolutely no one else was crazy enough to venture out in a snowstorm to see them. I wore them rolled up for maximum protection and warmth. They are great work boots with excellent traction on snow. With the top rolled down, they would not look out of place in the big city either, although I think I would rule out weddings and formal occasions. I had tried on a size 11 in a store once, even though I usually take a 10 1/2 (The store did not carry the available half sizes), and they were a little tight in the toe area, but when I finally got around to buying them, the size 11 boots I ended up with had lots of toe room, so I suppose there is a bit of variation in the sizing. I do not think that I would count on the wooly inside matting down with use enough to create toe room, so go for your usual size or one larger and try them on before buying if you can. I really like them and recommend them to anyone requiring a well made and comfortable boot for work or play. You will not regret your purchase.

I hesitantly LOVE them
By Michael Balonek
I never thought I would own a pair of Uggs. I'm a straight guy. Most of them look goofy. Most of them aren't waterproof. But on a whim I tried a pair of Butte's on when getting a good deal at Oppedisano's Bootery in the Rochester, NY area, and I was hooked. It was REALLY warm and REALLY comfy. And this kind IS waterproof, and DOESN'T look like the traditional moon-boot! The fuzzy part fit under my pants when desired, & it looked like I had 'normal' winter boots on, when really I had that fantastic shearling-lined happiness! (also, the rumour is correct...my feet actually felt warmer in them barefoot than when wearing socks! It has something to the shearling lining, but I'm not sure what). The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that Ugg Australia now makes their boots in China. Occasionally you can get a pair from New Zealand, but that typically means it's been sitting on a shelf somewhere for a long time. Other than that, a great and comfy boot!

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'!!
By Xtian
These boots are just perfect! I've had a wet-weather pair of boots on my wishlist lately, but was initially thinking of a competing brand until I realized UGG, my favorite brand of lounging slippers, offers boots which are exactly what I had in mind - I greatly prefer them to the competing brand's product I was considering. Even the color is perfect - I chose metal.I unfortunately could not locate a pair near my area of residence so I had the boots shipped to me from an UGG store in San Francisco. I was concerned about the boot not fitting properly and not being able to try it on prior to purchasing it, but after some discussion with the store staff I was encouraged to select my actual foot size instead of down-sizing a half-size like some of the reviews of this boot I read around the internet encouraged me to do. I am glad I listened to the staff - the boots fit perfectly; I measured my feet according to the directions on UGG's website just to be certain, and am pleased to report a true-to-size fit in length and width. Your mileage may vary, but I would not personally recommend downsizing at all.I am most surprised at how lightweight the boots are - they feel solid and sturdy, but not heavy the way my snow boots do. The Vibram soles are extremely comfortable, well-cushioned and springy, and I could easily wear them for extended periods of time without feeling foot-fatigue. I was pleased Vibram was involved in the manufacturing of this boot as I am a huge fan of their five-finger shoes. The best thing about these boots is how great they look - quite a bit more stylish than other wet-weather boots I have seen; I would feel very comfortable wearing them in many different circumstances. I highly recommend these boots.
