UGG Men's Butte Waterproof Leather Snow Boots in Metal, Size 11.5

I have worn UGG Australia for decades. My first pair I bought 20 years ago that I still wear to this day. I have purchased countless pairs since then, as well as bedding, clothing, gloves, pet products and more. This brand is unmatched in totality. I've never experienced such quality and durability in shoes as well as all their products. It really is incredible. I have a King size comforter and matching set of pillows that I use EVERY DAY. My favorite thing.

"THE" Snow Boot

This is the second pair of Butte's I've owned and I can say I'm more than happy with the quality and fit. They run true to size, if you're on the smaller end of the size I'd recommend sizing down half a size as initially they will fit snug but after a few wears they fit well but don't loose structure.I wear them for ~ 6-7km of walking a day half through snow, half on pavementSnow: This is where the boot shines, it will give you stability with insulated warmth and confidence to trek through deep snow. Tightened up they don't let much if any snow going beyond the top and the grip is outstanding.Ice: The vibram sole is definitely not an ice sole but does pretty well. I have yet to take a spill as usually they catch some grip at some point in the slide.Pavement: ... MoreThis is the second pair of Butte's I've owned and I can say I'm more than happy with the quality and fit.

I ended up circling back to the Butte after trying a number of other snow and hiking boots.

Don’t ignore these Uggs.

One month in on these men’s Ugg winter boots and I am seriously impressed. Much better build quality than Sorel. Nice Vibram soles. Tight stitching and seems. And so far, completely waterproof and very warm. My only concern was the white fur look, but the sides can be worn flipped up, and they look incredible. Very happy.

Game Changing Boots

I hesitating purchasing these boots because in the past I have found boots to be 'warm abut bulky' or 'stylish but uncomfortable or cold'. These check all the boxes, I can drive with these unlike my massive Sorel boots. These are also super comfortable for walking out in the woods or around the city for errands. I don't wear them with the cuff, I flip the top up for extra leg coverage. With these I could likely go with just one pair of winter boots, they are truly amazing.

Great Snow Boot!

So, I was taking a trip to North Shore Lake Tahoe after the "snowpocalypse" in late December and needed a good boot to do some snow trekking and play.I loved the look and color of this boot and decided to order.This boot looks GREAT in person! The leather is very soft to the touch and the shearling lining is just amazingly soft. This boot will definitely keep your feet warm! I was knee deep in snow, sledding with the kids, rolling around in the snow, walking through snow/slush/ice, and this boot kept my feet both warm and dry. It held up well on the trip and didn't feel any quality issues arise. The boot was slippery on ice-covered roads/walkways but that is too be expected with the sole and not a surprise or disappointment.Size: I always wear a size 12 and ... MoreSo, I was taking a trip to North Shore Lake Tahoe after the "snowpocalypse" in late December and needed a good boot to do some snow trekking and play.I loved the look and color of this boot and decided to order.This boot looks GREAT in person!

So, I then ordered the size 12 and it fit perfect.All-in-all, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone who wants to have warm/dry feet when traversing the snow and look stylish while you do it!

My favourite winter boots

Ugg has been making versions of the Adirondack for several years and I love them. They are warm and durable. My feet are always cold and these make a huge difference. You can wear them dog walking, hiking, in all weather and terrain, but also look stylish to wear casually. You can also roll the top up so they become slightly taller with the fur just on the inside. Worth the price because they last for years.

Not the quality of older ugg products

These boots are ok. For someone who has never purchased an Ugg product in the past,and had nothing to compare it to I’m sure they would like it but I can honestly say I was disappointed in the quality. The lining totally feels like it’s a synthetic faux fur. The Ugg Stoneman boots I bought 7+ years ago are way better quality than these. The lining is actual wool and is amazingly soft even to this day. The outside on these butte’s doesn’t even feel like leather it seems like a man made pleather. There is one swatch on the upper shaft that feels like real suede Leather. My old Stoneman’s are full top grain leather and totally feel it. I used to regard Ugg as a quality product at a responsible price but Uggs quality really tanked. Ugg is now like everyone else, high ... MoreThese boots are ok.

Solid

Better quality than most other things from UGG. And way more narrow than alot of UGG products, which makes them look more streamlined. Alot of items from UGG look 1 inch too wide even without the EEE size. The waterproofing seems to have held up well and they wear pretty well. Sheepskin is one of the best materials for shoes/boots because of how well it thermo-regulates.I would never buy boots without some kind of fur like sheepskin because they keep you warm when it matters and cool when you get inside. These keep you warm to minus 25 but I wouldn't trust them too long when it's colder than that. The sheepskin feels really soft, maybe A grade, but I've found local stuff that's more plush and soft which I would consider AAA quality. I also wish there was an even ... MoreBetter quality than most other things from UGG. And way more narrow than alot of UGG products, which makes them look more streamlined.

Ugg Butte vs Ugg Neumel Weather II

The description of the boot can be confusing, so to clarify: There is sheepskin wool in the upper part of the boot, where it folds over. This ends at the level of the ankle. It is very thick and cozy. The remainder of the interior of the boot, all around the foot, is polyester "sherpa", and is much thinner than the wool (8 mm vs 17 mm) and feels a bit sparse, like a guy with a buzz cut and thinning hair. The removable insole is said by UGG to be wool fibers. It is similarly sparse, though. Compare this to the Neumel Weather II boot which has thick luxurious wool throughout the entire boot (but consequently looks large and clunky from the outside, like Herman Munster shoes). The result of the construction of the Butte is that you will have warm ankles and calves, but ... MoreThe description of the boot can be confusing, so to clarify: There is sheepskin wool in the upper part of the boot, where it folds over.

The result of the construction of the Butte is that you will have warm ankles and calves, but your toes and forefoot are going to get cold (at least mine did). So that's the trade-off. You get a sleeker looking and more mobile and stable boot than the warmer Neumel because there is less fluffy wool insulation around the foot taking up space. Aside from the warmth caveat, its a good boot, and people with feet that run a bit hot naturally will like it better than me. (I wore wool socks while testing both boots.)

Very Nice, Well made, Comfy

I purchased these for a trip involving some snowshoeing, they will replace an older pair of boots. I am a 9.5 and bought the size 10. With thick socks and my arch insert, the fit is perfect. With thin socks there is just a little bit of extra room, but nothing uncomfortable, which is what I expected. So just follow the fit guidelines and you should be ok. The quality is what I would expect from UGGS, very nice leather and super nice wool lining. This is my first pair of UGGS boots that are water proof and I am impressed so far. I do own an awesome pair of UGG slippers that are 5 years old now and the quality is superb. My girlfriend on the other hand owns several pairs of UGGS and has never encountered any problems with fit or quality. I would recommend them to ... MoreI purchased these for a trip involving some snowshoeing, they will replace an older pair of boots. I am a 9.5 and bought the size 10.
