When we think classic winter boots, any pair from UGG immediately comes to mind. UGGs are some of the best boots around, and we’ll never deny that — but there are plenty of other brands out there who deliver a quality product!
If you’re in the market for a footwear upgrade, we’ve rounded up a slew of alternative boot styles that rival UGG. They offer quintessential cold-weather features, like sherpa lining and durable materials, and they’re seriously fashionable too. While a few options are on the sportier side, others are more refined and elegant. Take your pick and get to shopping — it’s freezing out there!
