Which is warmer, the UGG Classic Short II or the Dr. Martens 1460 Serena?

The UGG is warmer. It has a sheepskin, wool and fleece lining and an 8-inch shaft that covers the ankle. The 1460 Serena has wool and faux fur, but less insulation overall.

Which handles wet weather better?

The UGG Classic Short II is listed as waterproof. The Dr. Martens 1460 Serena is leather and not listed as waterproof, so treat it before wearing it in rain.

The Dr. Martens leather upper and air-cushioned sole generally outlast suede and sheepskin. The UGG's lining can mat down and its suede shows stains sooner.

Is the Dr. Martens worth $10 more?

If you want a leather boot that works in fall and winter and holds up for years, yes. If warmth and easy slip-on matter more, the UGG at $140 is the better buy.

Do both come in half sizes?

The UGG lists half sizes from US 4 to 14. The Dr. Martens listing shows only US 4 and 6, so check availability in your size before buying.

Can I wear the UGG in snow?

Light snow and slush are fine. For deep snow or ice, neither boot has the tread or height of a dedicated snow boot.
