<p>i'm picking between getting either 2 new pairs of snow boots or 1 pair of snow boots and a new pair of uggs.</p>
<p>i have 1 pair of snow boots already, though they're a bit tight. i have a bunch of uggs, but my short ones have a huge hole in them so i want a new pair lol</p>
<p>should i get 2 snow boots or 1 pair of snow boots and 1 pair of uggs?</p>
<p>also, any snow boot brand recommendations are welcome. i've been looking into a northface pair that i really liked and someone else mentioned goretex.</p>
<p>Hi ironically unsure, I was just having the exact same conversation with my mother. I got the Nupste boots from north face but they were a little narrow in the foot and gapped at the knee. uggs are warm but they are not very dependable in snow (and they get wet.) I’ve been looking at these boots from Ireland. They have a gore-tex lining and they’re pretty cute. They’re expensive but if you save up…[Dubarry</a> of Ireland : Country Gore-Tex GALWAY](<a href=“http://www.dubarry.com/style.cfm?product=3880]Dubarry”>http://www.dubarry.com/style.cfm?product=3880)</p>
<p>a lot of different brands of boots have gortex-- it’s a fabric. I personally don’t think you need more than one pair of winter boots. uggs would work in the fall and spring. some people definitely wear them all winter but they get kind of gross looking imo.</p>
<p>oh, didn’t know goretex was a fabric haha thanks for clearing that up. thanks for the suggestions! and you’re right, a bunch of my uggs are nasty now from all the snow and rain, boo.</p>
<p>and oo i’ll have to try on those northface boots with the exact type of pants i wear to make sure i can stuff them in. the reason i like uggs is because they’ll be warm. those irish boots are cute but i don’t see the price anywhere O_o. </p>
<p>so i guess another question is how much snow does cornell really get? i know it’s freezing, but uggs would keep me warm but not dry. so if it snows a ton, maybe i’ll have to really rethink things. do i need separate rain boots? how about hunter boots?</p>
<p>as stated on a previous thread, you can see for yourself how other students dress and what the weather is like by clicking on the link “Live Views” on the Cornell.edu website…it is quiet right now but students will be back soon.</p>
<p>you can get suede boots and spray them three times with waterproofing that you can get at target…this has worked well for my daughter.</p>
<p>she did have rubber rain boots (wellies) but did not wear them all that much</p>
<p>There is plenty of snow. Enough to warrant at least 1 good pair of snow boots.</p>
<p>A lot of girls I know have rubber rain boots for the end of fall/beginning of winter period. That’s when we get a good amount of rain and when the first snow falls happen (but end up melting in the morning)</p>
<p>Uggs are comfy and warm and last if you only wear them on cold but dry days. (Mine are a decade old now. I don’t wear them often, but they are in great shape. ) I never wear them in snow or rain or slush.<br>
For most snow, I actually like good, high hiking boots which have good grip and keep you dry. Otherwise, I would see what the stores in the Cornell area carry.
I also recommend the grippy things you can attach to shoes/boots for when it is really icy.</p>
<p>i hate uggs. they are ugly and aren’t even waterproof.</p>
<p>but they are warm.</p>
<p>so what i did was get WATERPROOF leather ugg snow boots. They can be worn in snow, are not nearly as gross looking as regular uggs, and still have that awesomely warm shearling lining. </p>
