Uggs 2.0

Love them or hate them, Uggs aren't going anywhere.  Thankfully the Australian company has released some polished-looking alternatives to the original suede boot.

The Brooks Tall fits like the original but with a cleaner silhouette, sturdier leather, and better traction.

The Broome captures that perfect rugged equestrian feel without sacrificing the wooly sheepskin lining.

At the very least, both of these boots deserve a nod for practicality: the leather will stand up to rain, snow, and salt much better than their suede counterparts.
