Finding a knock off ugg boot online is easier than finding an Ugg Australia boot in stock but some fall apart fast so shop for known imitation brands.

There are quite a few knock off ugg boot brands on the market. Some I’ve never heard of and some have been around a while. Most use sheepskin fleece for their linings and cattle suede leather for the outside. This is why they tend to run cheaper than a genuine sheepskin boots and why they are considered an imitation ugg boot. There are some uggs that are totally synthetic wool and leather. So be aware when shopping online of what the boots are made off if you want real sheepskin fleece or not.

I have a pair of Emu boots that I got for under $50 and I think are great. The quality seems pretty good and since I got them cheap I actually throw them in the washer and dryer. Not recommended by most people because they can shrink. I wash in cold and dry for a short time in a mild heat. Then I air-dry the rest of the way. Most people hand wash and air-dry them or they brush them clean. Some stitches are showing wear near the top but I’ll just sew them back up. For the price these boots are hard to beat.

Another brand I would recommend are made by Simple Shoes. This company is a sister company to Ugg Australia and make boots similar to the Emu Ridge boots at half the price of the regular Ugg brand boots. Some people might call these fake ugg boots but really they work fine. Now whether they work as well as the Ugg Australia boots I can’t say. I personally won’t be going into any 30-degree weather with them to know if they keep my feet that warm. However, they work fine for hanging around the house and running to the store.

Best places to check for knock off sheepskin and uggs like Emu and Simple Shoes is on eBay. You take your chances on eBay because it’s an auction plus some of the brands are unknown and I think might fall apart. But I have seen Emu, Simple, and Minnetonka on auction there. I advise to look for true brand names. If there isn’t some kind of brand name on them, I’d skip it. If you don’t want to deal with the eBay thing, check Zappos. I know they have Simple Shoes and Minnetonka as well as Ugg Australia brands. At off-season times of the year uggs go on sale and you might be able to pick up the real deal for as cheap as the knock offs.
