Which is better for rain and snow?

The UGG. It is listed as waterproof with warm padding and a ridged sugarcane EVA sole. The Dr Martens is patent leather with a rubber sole but is not described as waterproof.

Which boot is taller?

The Dr Martens Maybole Hi. It has a hi shaft, while the UGG Classic Ultra Mini Maxi Curly has an ultra-mini shaft with an asymmetrical topline.

Which is easier to put on?

The Dr Martens has a zipper fastening. The UGG is pull-on with a back pull tab, which is simple but can be snug around the ankle.

The Dr Martens patent leather upper and rubber sole are likely to hold up better to daily wear and abrasion. Suede and faux fur on the UGG need more care to stay clean.

Is one worth the extra?

It depends on price at the store. Pay more for the UGG only if waterproofing and warmth matter most; pay more for the Dr Martens only if you want the taller patent style. Check both prices on Deal.ai.

Which has better ratings?

The UGG is slightly higher at 4 out of 5 from 57 ratings versus 3.9 out of 5 from 64 ratings for the Dr Martens. The gap is small.
