I used to love winter. Maybe not so much this year. Not even May yet, however two layers of warm socks are not keeping my ankles warm enough to stop the pain. Ugg boots are great and I have no hesitat...
Have you checkout out ebay? There are some gorgeous UGG Anali black leather boots there (I'm not the seller!!! I just googled it!!)...still a bit pricey but if they get you through a few winters they're worth it!
