15 Best UGG Dupes and Alternatives, According to Reviewers
With cooler temperatures on the horizon, it’s time to bring out the winter boots, and there are few boots more coveted than Uggs. However, they don’t come cheap, making them inaccessible for many. So, if you're in the market for some more affordable styles, we suggest opting for the best UGG dupes.
Naturally, the quality of these dupes varies depending on how much you’re willing to spend (and there's no comparing them to the superior quality you get from UGG); the materials used, whether it’s suede, sheepskin, faux fur, or shearling, do matter after all.
So, whether they’re outside your budget or you simply don’t want to spend that much on a pair of shoes, we’ve got you covered. This way, you can still get the look of UGGs without breaking the bank. And since they’re almost all a fraction of the cost, you can add them to your holiday wish list alongside other items you’ve been eyeing, maybe a cool tech gift or a cute new leather backpack?! We'll also be on the lookout for the best UGG Black Friday deals, too!

UGG’s little sister brand, Koolaburra, is a great option to consider if you’re searching for something a bit more affordable without compromising the classic UGG look and feel. These minis, in particular, feature a faux-fur lining and a soft suede upper, ensuring they're both warm and comfortable. The best thing about Koolaburra is that they offer similar styles of nearly every UGG shoe you could desire—nothing feels more sisterly than imitating everything you do.

Bailey Bow II Boot Alternative: Holly Boots
Everything’s better with bows on it, just ask the TikTok girlies. These look eerily similar to the originals but at 1/4 of the cost (girl math says you can purchase all four colors for the price of one.) They’re so easy to slip on and off, but thanks to a thick faux fur inlay you may never want to take them off. They are also super lightweight, making them the ideal boots to pack in your suitcase if you’re headed on the yearly school ski trip we’ve only seen in movies.
Size range: 5-10
Colors available: light tan, tan, grey, black
Customer review: “Holly boots are warm, comfortable, and hold up well. I have an old pair purchased almost 10 years ago and wanted a new pair. They are generally true to size, especially if you are not wearing thick boot socks. It's definitely a good value for fashionable winter boots. Not waterproof, though” says one customer.

Customer review: “I wear these everywhere–they are seriously a great UGG dupe. So soft and comfy and the perfect height for what's "trendy" right now. I like that it doesn't have any "off-brand" logo on the back like some other brands have,” says one reviewer.

Taz Slippers Alternative: Platform Slippers
UGG is known for more than just suede winter boots—the brand’s warm, cozy slippers are also bestsellers, and these alternatives are a fraction of the price.

Made with soft wool, you don’t have to worry about your feet getting cold, and they feature a cool braided ribbon design.
Size range: 5-9
Colors available: beige, black, brown
Customer review: “I am obsessed with these shoes. They are my favorite fall shoes. They are SO comfy and cute, and they look similar to the UGG's brand. Definitely recommend.

Classic Tall II boot Alternative: Bearpaw Elle Tall
Ah, the tall boot—the most recognizable in the UGG collection. We’ve seen countless mood boards of celebrities, influencers, and editors sporting tall boots on their way to the airport or a workout class. This dupe is made of 100% suede and features a sheepskin and wool blend lining, as well as a sheepskin footbed, allowing you to experience that snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug feeling that UGG boots are known for.

Customer review: “They fit to your size and you feel like you're walking on clouds. The lining is thick through the inside of the boot. They are waterproof, but you should apply waterproof spray on them for extra protection. IT NEVER HURTS. For the price and for how comfortable they are, they are well worth the purchase. I highly recommend it,” says one customer.
