I love L.L. Bean duck boots for less serious snow/rain days, and for more serious snow days I have the Ugg Belcloud, which are super cute and warm: http://www.zappos.com/ugg-belcloud

The Sorels have held up well but I wanted something cuter, they were just basic boots. I got Keens..but I can't recall the style..I'll have to look.

Does it get very cold where you live? I read a review that said they weren't great if it got below 20.
I don't own any Uggs but they have such a great reputation.

Yes, they are warm and so comfy..... BUT..... they are very very very veeeerrryyyy slippery on ice and fresh snow. I have almost cracked my head open several times while wearing them. I am actually scared to wear them outside when it's icy. I wear them when there isn't much snow or it's packed down. What is the point of having them then? I dunno. But they are freakin' warm!
Just, ya'know, a death trap.

I went to the LL Bean Outlet in Manchester not too long ago and they had a few styles that looked good. http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/506708/0/Relevance/1?nav=ln-630.... I bought a pair of boots there last year and they're comfy, high, and warm. I think they're the Gore-Tex Cresta Hikers but they look a bit taller than the ones pictured. I didn't go for the duck boot style because I don't think the soles are sturdy enough (I slip and slide all over the place in mine). I love the boots I got, and I'm sure they'll last a long time.
ETA: Have you tried Off-Broadway Shoes? They usually have a good selection of boots.

canuk-gal|1327008564|3106887 said:HI:
Saw a gal wearing the Soel furry boots the other day and commented how cute and stylish they actually are IRL--she had the red plaid pattern and they looked awesome! She said they are warm....
cheers--Sharon

Thank you, Zoe ! Manchester is only an hour away, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I do most of my shopping online to avoid lugging my two protesting little ones along to the stores!
Off to check out the llbean.com boots...
