UGG'S UPTOWN MUKLUK BOOTS

It's one the many great legacies that ancient hunter-gatherers have bestowed on humankind: the Mukluk. Transferring this time-honored footwear to an urban environment, UGG Australia announces a new arrival from the Women's Metropolitan Collection, the Uptown.

UGGs puts a modern spin on this classic footwear style by combining the lace-up style of a mukluk with the traditional sheepskin material and stitch detailing of other UGG boots. This boot features a 12 inch shaft height that can be folded down for fashion versatility.

As usual, the cozy interior shearling lining spills generously around the top and lace contour of the boot. Whether in black, brown or gray, UGGs Uptown attracts notice with the two toned color contrast of the boot and fleece lining. You'll always assume a secure stance and gait with an EVA outsole featuring molded rubber pod inserts for extra traction.

Although originally designed by hunter-gatherers to move quietly among their prey, women sporting UGG's Uptown in their excursions make a loud fashion and practical statement.
