These Ugg Boots Are Low-Key Kinda Grunge—Snag a Pair While You Still Can
In case you haven't noticed, the grunge look is permeating every facet of the fashion industry, resulting in celebrities and influencers alike outfitting themselves in beaten-up leather and distressed denim. But of all the wardrobe items getting the grunge treatment, boots are, by far, the most popular. It all started with Miu Miu's buckle boots that immediately went viral online after debuting on the brand's F/W 22 runway, eventually selling out once they became available roughly six months later. To this day, they're pretty much impossible to get your hands on. As a result, buckled boots of all shapes, colors, price points, and styles are popping up across the web, with the coolest and comfiest arriving on my screen just this morning.
The pair in question is from—drumroll, please—Ugg, and my editor senses are screaming at me to pay attention to them. Called the Ultra Mini Belted Roller Boots, the just-dropped style is an iteration of the brand's famous and often-sold-out Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boots. They have a slightly edgier air to them resulting from a metal buckle along the top of the boots and shearling details that peek out from the inside. Like their predecessor, these feature a two-inch platform, but unlike them, they're actually in stock—specifically in Chestnut and Black, the most-wanted shades of the original platforms.
Before the Belted Rollers sell out like all the other platform Ugg boots, scroll down to snag a pair. Trust me. When they're impossible to find, you'll seriously regret not trusting your gut and acting on this opportunity.
