Ugg Mosaic black boots are no longer made but the boot
that replaced them in the Ugg Australia boot line more than makes
up for the loss of this style.
Ugg Mosaic black boots can no longer be found at most online
boot dealers. You might be able to find a pair on Ebay but that’s
a hit or miss kind of deal due to limited sizes available and
rareness of the style. They seem to run around the $170 range
for most Buy It Now auctions. There are a few pairs of Mosaic
ugg boots for women in the color orchid still available at Zappos
at the time of this writing. They are priced around $130 with
free shipping.
The boot that most closely replaces the Mosaic is the Sunset.
This is a more tailored ugg boot that while it shares the same
shaft size of 12”, and same sole pattern it does differ
in regards to circumference. The Mosaic has a 15” circumference
while the Sunset is a 14”. However, the Sunset also has
a side zipper, which can be pretty handy for getting in and out
of the footwear. The shaft of the Mosaic has a single stitched
quilt pattern on its shaft while the Sunset does not. The Mosaic
also tends to run slightly wider and is a little bulkier while
the Sunset is sleeker and goes better with jeans.
If you have a wider foot or a high instep, you might need a larger
size than normal in the Sunset. Most people get a smaller size
than their normal size when they buy uggs but in this particular
model because it’s fitted more snuggly, allowances may need
to be made. Check with you online boot retailer for help in getting
the correct size. The other thing you can try is a different model.
The Ultra, Ultimate and Brooks uggs fit a bit wider yet still
snug enough to wear in any condition. In fact these boots tend
to be better on ice and snow due to their superior tread design.
The tread on the Sunset is fine for everything else but is definitely
not great for slippery conditions because it doesn’t have
the lug sole the other boots have.
