I have 3 different styles and despite always going out to try different styles, I ALWAYS go back to Uggs. The Ultimate short ones are rigid and I LOVE mine.<br /> I don't know what height you have, but I got the short ones in the Cambridge style and those don't bend and get all worn out like the tall ones do. They are just more stiff, more rigid. Also, lastly, I have black "MINI" ones and I am obsessed with those, like a little too much. They always look good, unlike the tan colored ones.</p> <p>Here are the ones I have. I can take pics of the actual ones tomorrow but I am in bed right now and they are in the garage ;)</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n0t5df.250x279.5275-CHE_2.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n0t5dh.250x279.1003175-CHE_2.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n0t5di.250x279.5854-CHE_2.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1412964 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:19:46 +0000 matador84 1412964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: i really like mine. i used to have uggs and like them better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1412947 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 20:11:31 +0000 PurplePumps 1412947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Damit! After seeing all these raving reviews about Frye's I was just browsing Amazon and came across these that look like a great deal. I didn't even need new boots but couldn't pass them up! When DH asks about them, I'm blaming helllobee!<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESB18F8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p309_d1_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=center-5&#038;pf_rd_r=19RW31W2AX879GNQWH91&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1688200382&#038;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESB18F8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p309_d1_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=center-5&#038;pf_rd_r=19RW31W2AX879GNQWH91&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1688200382&#038;pf_rd_i=507846</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411899 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 13:08:15 +0000 bunnylove08 1411899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: YES FRYE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411805 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 12:30:09 +0000 tysonja 1411805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: my friend bought the pair I currently have-- she wore them for two years on and off, then passed them to me. I've worn them an additional two years, but pretty much every day in the winter! Still in good shape!

I've been thinking that might be my best option - still Uggs but a different/better/longer lasting style? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411451 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 10:43:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1411451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: Oo these are so cute and I love the color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411445 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 10:42:06 +0000 mrskc 1411445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I really don't think my Frye's are fancy. I wear them all the time. Even when I'm just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. What about Keen boots? </p> <p><a href="http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/wall/shoes/women/na/16,493" rel="nofollow">http://www.keenfootwear.com/us/en/wall/shoes/women/na/16,493</a></p> <p>Or Justin boots? They are really nice, but you said you already have cowboy boots... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411407 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 10:30:12 +0000 tysonja 1411407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you love uggs maybe you'll like the mayfaire style of uggs? I've had mine for over 3 years and there is no collapsing or any damage at all:) has the classic look but a bit more structured. I don't know if they are still making them, though!:) </p> [attach=968/14/n0sdqd.480x360.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411305 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:54:13 +0000 looch 1411305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a knockoff brand of Uggs, if you're looking for the classic style? Something like Bearpaw or Emu? I am not sure how the Emu brand compares pricewise, but for the price of the Bearpaws, you could replace them every other year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411262 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:43:17 +0000 snowjewelz 1411262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I don't actually have those boots, but I have the regular Tom's shoes and I really liked them! Reviews for those boots seem to be good too</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: I wonder if you would need to tie them every time or it's possible to be lazy and just keep them kinda loosely tied </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411254 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:40:33 +0000 LindsayInNY 1411254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I want my Uggs but, for that price, I want them to last beyond 2-3 seasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411230 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:29:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1411230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: @snowjewelz: are the tons boots comfortable? Like do they have actual arch support? They might be just what I'm looking for. </p> <p>Like @LindsayInNY: I have nicer riding boots, but they aren't the most comfortable for lots of walking, I have rain boots for rain and slush, actual snow boots for snow and ice (I live in New England and walk a lot!!) but no casual ugg type boot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411207 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:17:11 +0000 looch 1411207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: well, I am no help, because I wear my rain boots when we go to any farm, because I want to be able to just run my boots under the hose!</p> <p>I really like the ones hilsey85 posted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411203 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:15:03 +0000 hilsy85 1411203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: They're not lined but actually surprisingly warm--I've been wearing them in this frigid nyc winter, and my feet have been ok! If I were going to be outside for HOURS I'd probably pick something different (uggs or hunters with wellie socks) but for a few hours out, they've been great. And they look great with everything so far! I'm so happy I got them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411200 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:13:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1411200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: No activity, per se. Basically to replace when I wear my Uggs - to/from work in the winter, occasionally at work, on weekends running errands, apple/pumpkin picking, etc.</p> <p>@snowjewelz: Those are cute! I worry about the tie thing but otherwise cute!</p> <p>@hilsy85: Are they warm? They don't look lined or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411194 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:10:41 +0000 hilsy85 1411194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ANother vote for fryes! Mine are SUPER casual, I think because they're a distressed cognac leather. I have these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thefryecompany.com/products/76213?gclid=CKmRgrTewbwCFZRr7AodMhAAIg&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">http://www.thefryecompany.com/products/76213?gclid=CKmRgrTewbwCFZRr7AodMhAAIg&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411190 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:09:00 +0000 snowjewelz 1411190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I wear Uggs like you too for super casual looks.

I guess it depends on where you are wearing them...what activity do you need these boots for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411185 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:07:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 1411185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I considered those... Thing is, it would look weird to wear them in the fall, for example, without any rain or snow. I feel like I'm searching for something that doesn't exist, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411178 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:04:31 +0000 looch 1411178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: what about the LL Bean duck boots? You know the ones with tan on top and the color on the bottom? Those are casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1411167 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:00:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1411167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Frye's are a bit fancier than what I'm looking for. I have riding boots and cowboy boots. I need something to wear with sweatshirts and super casual stuff. I feel like Frye's are nicer than that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1410632 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:05:59 +0000 sandy 1410632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to have to echo those that suggested Frye boots - they are amazing quality and so comfortable! I wore mine walking all over NY (literally all day and night) with thin socks and my feet were so comfortable...not too hot and not cold at all and not tired/sore at the end of the day. I stepped in a huge puddle on accident and totally dry. The leather is so butter soft and they are just so well made. Other shoes and boots kind of feel stiff and my feet get cold. Also when I walk around a lot my feet are usually tired at the end of the day but not in my Frye boots. I wore my Hunter boots on the snow day and even with two thick socks my feet got cold after several hours. This is my first pair of frye boots and I am a lifelong fan and will be buying them for life and will get them for my LO bc I know how comfortable they are </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1410591 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:32:35 +0000 matador84 1410591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got a pair of toms boots and like them. I also love my sorels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1410568 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:12:33 +0000 nana87 1410568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah another vote for frye's from me too! I wear them for everything, casual or with nice clothes. Sooo comfy yet look really nice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/casual-boot-recommendations#post-1410562 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:08:17 +0000 rachiecakes 1410562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Lucky Brand boots, great quality </p>
