Ever since I got the Aussie Dogs Alpine boots, my other winter footwear has been gathering dust. The Alpine boots feature 100 percent sheepskin lining that feels luxurious—I’m tempted to wear them barefoot—and, more importantly, keeps my feet toasty no matter the temp. I sported the Alpine boots on a lengthy hike the other day, and my feet stayed warm and dry, thanks to the sturdy, water-resistant rubber, wool and Cordura construction. The soles grip like gecko feet. A sheepskin “collar” covers part of the outside of the boot shaft, which reaches almost to mid-calf. My vanity appreciates the rugged-chic styling, while my patriotic side appreciates that Aussie Dogs footwear is based and manufactured in the USA. All in all, a smart, stylish choice for any woman dwelling in the north country. The boots retails for $130. www.aussie-dogs.com — Shelby Gonzalez
