Mortel vs Since 1974

Hi there. I am very much under the understanding that UGG is a type of boot not a brand. Now my question is Mortel or Since 1974, which are the boots to get? These are obviously for a Christmas gift so I am wanting to know which is better, I purchased Ugg in the USA many years before the change and they went to crap and are extremely lightweight. I want to support a good company.

Definitely looking for longevity, comfortably, as well as a good brand. TYSM!!! GOD bless y’all, TYSM from super South Tx by the coast 🩷🎄🤠🏝️
