Classic Short Hybrid Winter Boot

Excellent boot for winter weather and wear when you don't want to risk damaging your classic uggs. Ugg made a big mistake discontinuing this for the "Ultra Mini" version. While I get some guys may object to the "height" compared to shorter uggs, it is incredibly practical for snow/cold. The height combined with the nylon closure keeps snow out when walking or brushing snow off vehicles. Perfect warmth and excellent traction. Definitely feels like a combination of boot traction with sneaker underfoot cushion and of course ugg comfort/warmth. I have no real idea why they discontinued these. Get them while you can!

The boot fits like a regular ugg boot, the guard near the toe box is what may cause it to feel like less space. I’m a size 9 which I got a size 10 because people said to size up and I felt like I would’ve liked the size 9. I tried the size 9 and it does feel more snug at the toe box because of the guard. It’s not much of a problem at All , but if you would want more space in the toe box, size up 1 size

The Classic Short Weather Hybrid solves many of the winter weather-related issues of the venerable Classic Short Ugg boot. Great unisex boot. Rugged looks and excellent comfort. The nylon collar/closure at the top of the boots can be tucked away inside when not in use and successfully keeps snow and cold out from getting into the boots when walking in snow or brushing off vehicles. The thicker foam/rubber sole and strip around the binding/toe/heel area keeps the majority of the boot out of wet snow/slush and getting you through conditions that would have doomed the normal classic short uggs. The treated suede material makes sure any splash or kicked up snow does not stain. The sole has better ability to shed snow while giving better support and grip. They are more comfortable for walking and standing than the traditional short ugg. The protected toe/heel area and the sole make them feel a lot more substantial of a boot while retaining the comfort and looks of the classics. Weight isn't dramatically different. I was a little skeptical about the Ugg-Plush lining material, but at least initially it feels as soft as full wool lining. I would have preferred the plushness and thickness of the full wool lining compared to the 60% upcycled wool, 40% plant based blend. The warmth seems comparable to the original short ugg boots, but longevity of the lining remains to be seen. All in all, they are a really cool addition by ugg and overall have improvements that make winter wear more comfortable and less stressful. I really think this is a winner for guys. As always, they look great with either pants tucked in or with pants over.
