<p>Uggs are comfy and warm and last if you only wear them on cold but dry days. (Mine are a decade old now. I don’t wear them often, but they are in great shape. ) I never wear them in snow or rain or slush.<br>
For most snow, I actually like good, high hiking boots which have good grip and keep you dry. Otherwise, I would see what the stores in the Cornell area carry.
I also recommend the grippy things you can attach to shoes/boots for when it is really icy.</p>
