Today on Better.tv: This Season’s Best Boots, Period.

In addition to the stylish finds in our Boots Guide, we’ve rounded up even more must-haves this season – and two pair are under $20. Watch and read below, or check out the segment on Better.tv and SheZoom.com

 
Of course, every wardrobe needs a solid pair of flat boots for day-to-day wear. Three of us on the SheFinds team now have La Canadiennes, and we’re all enamored (in fact, we all wore them yesterday). They’re comfortable and waterproof for up to 6 months – the style below is the Passion ($298), but we also adore the Mango and Pulley. We love the riding boot styling on these Frye Paige Buckle boots ($378), and the sturdy Frye construction means you’ll wear them forever. These Chinese Laundry Turbo boots have been selling like crazy and at $99, we understand why. Chic, versatile, and under $100 – the stuff must-have boots are made of.

Booties and shoebies are here to stay – but that doesn’t mean you have to invest big bucks to get the look. This Twist Bootine ($18) and Tate Oxford Bootie ($17) are both from Payless, and both almost shockingly affordable. (Plus I can personally attest that the former is incredibly comfy.)

Looking for a cozier option? We predicted a run on these short metallic UGG boots ($150), and they’re so hot that even we can’t find them in silver – but you can pre-order the gold ones in most sizes at Saks. For a little extra oomph in your errand running, try the FitFlop billow booties ($125) – they’re designed to tone your lower half as you walk.

Taste Test: Which White Boots Cost A Little Less Green?

imageimageimage
Any true winter walker knows that those icky white salt stains are no friends to dark pants and boots. Why not beat the de-winterizing at its own wardrobe-ruining game and opt for white boots instead of salt ring-prone black ones? For less than $100, you can don snow-white soles with plenty of traction, a toasty fleece lining and sludge-proof fabric. Or you could pay an extra $100 to get white UGG boots that don't even look like the classic Australian brand. Can you guess which twice-the-price pair above has a Hollywood-approved designer label (that won't keep your tootsies any more warm)?

The Must-Have Winter Boot: UGG® Nightfall

UGG Australia - Nightfall (CHESTNUT) UGG® Nightfall and all the top winter boots here!

What: UGG® Australia Nightfall

Why: Are those UGG®s from last season looking like you haven't taken them off since you've bought them? Then it might be time to invest in a second pair. If you've never bought a pair of UGG® boots, pay close attention to the following sentence: These are quite possibly the most comfortable pairs of winter boots ever made. Let me retrace my steps and explain where I'm coming from. Ever heard of Sorels? Mom, I'm sorry, but I have to be honest — they were never cool looking and they were heavy, clunky and still rarely kept my feet that warm (or dry) despite your best intentions. These lovely boots by UGG® Australia, on the other hand, are not only fashionable, comfortable and warm, but they are lightweight and easy to move in. You can easily wear them on your commute without fearing you'll look like the abominable snowman and if you're late for the bus, you can run without the fear of falling on the slippery snow (or slush, depending where you winter).

Price: $200

To UGG® or Not to UGG®?

I was at a conference yesterday where an editor of a cool-hunting website — noted numerous times that Uggs were OVER and that she was ashamed her publication had endorsed the fad when they were hot. I have to say though, I'm not over my UGG®s. To me there's nothing nicer on a frosty day then to slip barefoot into luscious sheepskin. I know I'm not alone….the UGG®s Buying Guide is one of the most visited pages on the SheFinds site. Our friends over at UGG® Corporate tell us that the new Dunwich, Rainier and Locarno styles are moving fast. Last year's new styles — like the Uptown — sold-out before Christmas. Pro: They sure are comfortable and the new styles are not so Uggish Con: They sure are ugly (at least the traditional Uggs are) and fashion mavens say they're out (and have been for many seasons) UGG Australia - Dunwich (BLACK)UGG Australia - Rainier (CLASSIC TAUPE/NATURAL) UGG Australia - Locarno (BLACK) What do you think — UGG®s — get 'em, toss 'em?

SheFinds News: Star Studded Charity UGG®s

image image Face it, UGG®s aren’t going anywhere. Celebs like Sienna Miller and Pam Anderson still sport them regularly and keep the utterly-unfashionable footwear in the spotlight. Even better than that celebrity-style duo is UGG®’s partnering with St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital for the fourth annual Art & Sole Collection. Stars lend their artistic talents to create one-of-a-kind UGG® boots, which are then auctioned off with the proceeds going to St. Jude. Last year, more than $40,000 was raised—pennies compared to the $500 million in free medical care and research that St. Jude provides annually to children suffering from horrible diseases. No family is turned away from the organization, which was founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas, father of Marlo Thomas. This year there some high-powered names — Matthew McConaughey, Ashton Kutcher, Betsey Johnson, Kelly Ripa, Christina Milian, Debra Messing, Romero Britto and Kelly Preston — working their wiles on the boots, which go up for sale for two weeks starting today, on UGG® Australia’s site.

A Find: UGG® Update Elicits Much Love

It's no secret that the SheFinds Editors like their UGG®s. I've been wearing my stereotypical classic, tall UGG®s in chestnutfor the past two years. With no apologies. It's not even a comfort over style thing, as long as your not pairing them with a denim mini and Hanes white tank in the style of a LA tween then you're fine. What: UGG® Tall Brooks and the super luxe Venezia Why: The solid soles and updated sleek leather uppers give these styles an equestrian slant, so seasonally hip. The signature fuzzy warmth is not lost in the modern look but subtly stays to the lining of the Brooks and only peeks out on the Venezia. The result is wearable boots that feel like shearling slippers but most certainly do not look it. Price: $180 for the Brooks Tall; $400 for the Venezia Find Yours: UGGAustralia.com Deal Alert: Rare UGG® Australia deal 30% off any one item in the handbag, outerwear, or accessories collections with code "UGGF&F30". Expires 12/16. What do you think? To UGG® or Not to UGG®?

SheFinds News: UGG®s are flying off the shelves

image There's no sense trying to fight it, UGG® boots are as hot a gift as ever this holiday season, and retailers literally cannot keep them on the shelves. Much to the dismay of many fashion forcasters, UGG®s are here to stay. At least for one more holiday season anyway. It's not too late to give them what they want. You can still get an UGG® Australia Gift Card in time for Christmas.

SheFinds Tip: Downsize your UGG®s

imageWhat: UGG® Kids’ Classic Boot

Why: Whether you love to love them, or love to hate them, it’s hard to deny the cozy appeal of UGG®s. This dirty little secret we lifted from SheFindsMom makes them that much harder to resist. Pick up a pair in a kid’s size, and save yourself $40. All you’ll be sacrificing is quarter of an inch in height, which I think is totally worth it. Kids 4 = Women’s 5.5 Kids 5 = Women’s 6.5 Kids 6 = Women’s 7.5 Kids 7 = Women’s 8.5

Price: $80 ($120 for the full size version)

HeFinds Guy Friday: Toasty Toes

UGG Australia - Scuff (OBSIDIAN)What: UGG® Australia Scuff Slippers

Why: With another month of winter to look forward to, your guy will get a lot of use out of a pair of UGG® Men’s Slippers. Available in a variety of styles, we especially love the Scuff Slippers. The rich suede upper comes in several earth tone colors, while the lining is a super soft fleece to keep his entire foot toasty (don’t let the slip-on style fool you – they’ve been keeping us warm all season). Our favorite part is the hard sole, which allows for a quick run outside to grab the morning paper.

A Shoe Find: UGG® Shoes We Love for Early Fall

What: The UGG® Australia Reese Wedge

Why: Is it too soon for UGGs? Never! In case you missed our updated UGG® guide featuring the hottest summer UGG®s, you might want to give it a look before fall hits. Otherwise, behold the newest styles from UGG® for fall. We spotted the ultra-sleek Reese Wedge and were in love with the preppy, yet casual styling. It's a little dressy, so you can wear it with slacks (and thanks to the heel your pants won't drag) or play it feminine and flirty with a skirt. While the style had us at first glance, it's the true nature of the UGG® that inspires us to covet it so: the plush sheepskin sockliner means they're super comfortable, plus the sculpted rubber wedge means you won't go sliding around on a slick sidewalk. Choose from cigar, black or maderia suede (shown below).

Price: $140

Fall Shoe Find: UGG®Caroline

UGG Australia - Caroline (CIGAR)

UGG® Caroline boots and more hot new picks here!

What: UGG® Australia Caroline in Cigar

Why: If you want your feet to be ravished by a boot, I think this might be the one to choose. Every step in this ultra-comfortable, high-heel fashion boot is like walking on air (thanks to the sheepskin lining, of course). The quality leather wraps around your leg like a second skin, and I swear, once you put these on, you may not want to take them off. Just as important as the fit and comfort level is the style. These are not your average UGG®s with the fuzzy fur poking out the top. No, these are sophisticated and fashion-forward, featuring a beautifully sculpted round heel and craftsmanship that is clearly top notch. Wrapped leather buckles add the finishing touch for a sleek and sharp look. Go on and spoil yourself this fall with a pair of boots that really treats your feet the way they should. Unlike some love affairs, this is one you'll never regret.

SheFinds Hearts UGG®s: Classic Crochet Boot

UGG Australia - Classic Crochet Tall (RUM RAISIN) UGG® Classic Crochet Boot and other fall favorites here!

What: UGG® Classic Crochet Boot

Why: The chill in New York City air this past weekend brought out the best of the city's fashion: cute cropped jackets, chunky knits and of course, our favorite cozy boot — UGG®s. While the Classic UGG® still reigns supreme, I also caught a lot of ladies wearing the Crochet Classic boot.

This is a great in-between style that keeps you warm and comfy, but with a more semi-warm-weather-friendly vibe. Check it out in spunky Rum Raisin, the bold red version shown here or stick to the versatile classics such as Sand or Black. Also interesting is the Burnt Olive, perfect for attaining an earthy vibe, or the Indigo for a subtly colorful choice.
