Kids Boots Similar to Uggs — The Top 3 Stylish, Comfortable, Durable, and Affordable Alternatives!

Has your child been asking you for a pair of Ugg boots but you are hesitant to buy them because of how expensive they are? Are you wondering if there is a more affordable boot that looks similar to Uggs? I have put together a selection of the best kids’ boots similar to Uggs that are stylish, comfortable, durable, and affordable.

Most families aren’t able to invest in a pair of Ugg boots that children might only be able to wear for one season. The classic short Ugg boots for kids can range anywhere from $100 to $125, and the classic tall Ugg boots for kids can range anywhere from $150 to $180.

Certain shoe brands offer similar styles that are much easier on the bank account, and I will show you these shoe brands shortly.

I am always emphasizing to parents that more expensive shoes don’t automatically translate into better shoes for their children. What I mean by this is that there are similar boot styles to Uggs that are stylish, comfortable, durable, and they’re oh-so warm. Some models might even be fully waterproof or water-friendly.

Kids’ Boots Similar to Uggs — Warm, Comfortable, and Durable!

It is a fact that most parents can find cheap imitation Uggs for their kids, but the issue is that most imitations won’t keep your kids’ feet warm and dry. In addition, there is no point in spending money on a pair of boots that will fall apart before your child is ready to outgrow them.

It seems like before parents decide on what boots to get for their children they tend to read other reviews from parents who already bought the boots they are interested in. The issue is that most of the time parents end up being more confused after reading the reviews. For example, I have seen reviews from parents who said Bearpaw worked great for their children, while some others said that they fell apart and allowed water in. Other reviews said that Koolaburra boots worked great while others said that they fell apart too quickly.

Wouldn’t you want to know which are the best alternatives to Ugg boots from someone who has vast experience in the shoe industry and has fitted and tested the boots before?

Have you always wondered what is the difference between the $180 kids’ Uggs and the $50 ones? I will provide you with a selection of the best Ugg boot alternatives for kids that are affordable and made from high-quality materials. The boots recommended below are almost identical to UGGs, use real shearling and real sheepskin.

Kids Boots Similar to Uggs — The Top 3 Choices

#1: EMU

➡️ Emu is an authentic Australian footwear company that uses only premium Australian sheepskin and Merino wool when manufacturing their boots.

➡️ Emu boots retail from $42 to $70 depending on your child’s size and the fur origin is from Australia. It’s important to mention that the waterproof version is more expensive and retails from $63 to $75 depending on your child’s size. This is still a lot cheaper compared to Ugg prices considering that the boots look identical and are made from the same high-quality materials.

➡️ The outsole of the boot provides excellent traction tread to provide parents with peace of mind when their children are walking on ice and snow.

➡️ These boots are already water-resistant so parents don’t have to spend another $10-20 to do that themselves.

➡️ One awesome feature about Emu boots is how they come with removable insoles. This is a great feature if you need to put another insert in the boot for extra arch and ankle support. This feature is great for those children who have been unable to wear the Ugg boot styles due to having flat feet.

➡️ Bearpaw boots are all treated with NeverWet® technology which offers extra protection from the elements. This technology repels stains like saltwater, mud, cola, and dirt and debris rinse away easily with water.

➡️ Another awesome feature of Bearpaw boots is that they provide a flexible, non-marking rubber outsole that offers your little one improved traction on wet surfaces.

➡️ Bearpaw boots are sturdier than Uggs and will definitely last your child the whole winter season.

Figuring Out Your Child’s Foot Size

Before you order any of these boots online —or any shoes for that matter— I suggest that you make sure that you know your child’s exact foot size. You won’t be able to order the correct shoe size online if you don’t know what your child’s foot size is to begin with.

I created a different article to assist parents in determining their kids’ foot size at home effectively and with ease.
