The plush, warm comfort of an UGG boot is something no one can deny in this harsh winter weather, however, the premium price tag might make you hesitate. So I have been on the hunt for the best UGG boot alternatives that are just as luxurious and stylish.
As a fashion writer, I've seen firsthand the rise of the UGG boots style again, from major A-listers such as Jennifer Lopez wearing UGG's latest styles to Nicole Kidman sporting a black pair of the classic boots, they are simply inescapable. And frankly, there is no denying how much of a lifesaver these fur-lined boots are for the cooler conditions, and I'm certain that they'll be perfect for entering spring too.
However, this style of boot isn't exclusive to UGG, and there are plenty of brilliant—and more affordable—UGG boot dupes on the high street. From those that are solely similar in aesthetic with quality faux fur linings to suede and shearling options, there's a pair for everyone, no matter the budget, style or material preference. And if you're still hesitant on this winter boot style, take a look at our handy guide on how to style UGGs.
woman&home's Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr explains why UGG isn't your only option when it comes to toasty shearling boots this winter. "Although they may not have the same branding as UGG, there are plenty of high-street and independent brands with great UGG boot alternatives. For example, EMU is one with a great reputation when it comes to quality. However, you don't have to spend a fortune to find the cosiest boots, slippers, and cold weather accessories."

These UGG boots alternatives offer a fabulous super-soft sheepskin inner and they are set on a reliable, chunky sole. These boots can be worn so many ways, from styling with some of your best wide leg jeans for a weekend outing, to wearing with your favourite pyjamas on the sofa.
Probably even more similar to Classic UGGs are EMU's Stinger Micro boots, which have a flat sole and the brand name embossed on the back. Made from double face Australian sheepskin, they are soft, comfortable, and water-resistant. Side-by-side they are very similar however the price definitely sets them apart. Read our UGGs vs Emu's guide.
These platform UGG-style boots from Next are a great alternative if you want quality but without the high price tag. The platform style gives the illusion of height and elongates the leg, and is great for long wide leg trousers to avoid them dragging along the floor. These say they are shower repellent, however I would strongly advise a good coat of shoe protector before heading out in them.
