Decent priced slippers / ugg boots

tassieeagle on 07/04/2016 - 13:10

Hey guys. With winter fast approaching I find myself in the market for a decent pair of slippers or ugg boots. I have no idea about what is a good price or good quality for these things so I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some advice.

Cheers

    They range from the $10 things that Kmart sell to the $200 sheepskin covered & sheep wool lined boots you can get at those "Ugg" brand shops that you see all over the city.

    Depends on what quality you're after.

    I love the Peter Alexander home boots.

    Are you planning on wearing them outside the home? Consider getting fleece-lined boots with a proper bottom and more waterproof sides. If you're only using them inside a quality pair from a local place should be ~$80 and last a few years.

    Also make sure you are getting wool, not synthetic if you are worried about smelly feet. And if you care, many of the "Australian" brands are actually made in China including the "Ugg" brand which is actually an American company whose product is made in China pretending to be an Australian product… If I'm paying $80 plus personally I'd prefer to buy an Australian made pair.

    Thanks for the tips. Will be indoor only, not so keen on wearing them out.

    I bought the ex a pair of 'UGG'-like boots from online, they were imitation at around $100. They are ok, but I found the walls of the boot above the ankles were flimsy and wouldn't standup straight after one season. She bought me a genuine pair the following season for around $200 and I can whole-heartedly recommend the premium one. Feels so much comfier and refined compared to the imitation. Hope that helps.

    Have a look at Blue Mountains Ugg Boots. They claim to be Australian made and are not affiliated with the 'Ugg' brand.

    I've got uggs from UGG Australia and Yellow Earth.

    Both are very comfortable but I've found Yellow Earth has a better build quality.

    Big plus is their Emporium store has an awesome fitout!
