The cosy suede boots are officially back in fashion, with Gen Z reviving the noughties icons on TikTok.
Let’s be honest, we all want to rock that iconic Ugg boot look without needing to take out a second mortgage.
As synonymous with autumn as pumpkin spice lattes, Uggs are stylish and cosy. Interest in the boots has snowballed this year, with Bella and Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, Rihanna and Zendaya all seen in them.
But with prices beginning at around £100, they’re something of a luxury.
Luckily, there’s a world of Ugg dupes out there waiting to pamper your toes, without emptying your bank account faster than Black Friday.
So, grab a cuppa, settle into something fluffy, and let’s take a stroll through the best on the high street.

What to look out for when buying Ugg dupes
Diving into the world of Ugg dupes? Here’s a few things in mind:
- Material matters: Uggs use sheepskin, but most dupes use synthetic materials. Make sure the lining feels like a fluffy cloud — not that scratchy blanket your nan insists on keeping.
- Sole survivor: Uggs are known for sturdy soles, but some dupes can be as slippery as a greased ice rink. Look for soles with grip unless you’re keen to meet the pavement closeup.
- Check the fit: Dupes can run a bit smaller or larger, so check the sizing reviews. No one likes a squished toe, especially when you’re trying to be comfy.
- Water woes: The UK weather switches up faster than a Love Island Make sure your dupes are water-resistant or get ready to dodge puddles like your life depends on it.
