The ultimate guide on where to buy the best UGGs and UGG dupes for 2026.
UGG boots are officially back in fashion and are here to stay.
Thanks to TikTok making dupes cool, UGG dupes are super easy to find and while the real thing is great, they're pretty pricey for a student budget. Not to mention, UGGs will normally sell out pretty quickly as soon as winter hits.
Dupes can be a great way to take advantage of the latest trends without the hefty price tag — just take a look at our best perfume dupes to see the savings you could make.
If you're desperate for a pair of UGG boots but can't find the size or style you want on the UGG website, there's no need to panic as some of the UGG dupes you can get are so good you won't even notice the difference!

Where to buy UGG Tasman dupes
The UGG Tasman and Tazz slippers are exactly that — slippers. But thanks to TikTok people are wearing them outside as their comfort and thick soles make them suitable for outdoor use. If you love the cosy outdoor-slipper vibe, it's worth checking out our guide to the best Crocs for students too — another TikTok-approved comfort shoe that's taken over campuses.
This style has been super popular over the last couple of years, meaning that it's really easy to find dupes online if you'd rather not buy the real thing or if they're sold out in your size.

How to clean UGG boots
If you've invested in a pair of UGG boots, you'll want to make sure you keep them as clean as possible. The suede material is quite delicate, which means rain and mud can cause chaos, so take it easy when cleaning.
What you'll need:
Cleaning solution
Damp cloth
Suede protector
Suede brush
Use a suede brush to brush off any dry dirt or mud that comes off easily
Taking your damp cloth, gently moisten the area that needs cleaning by patting. Don't rub or scrub as this can damage the suede
Add a small amount of cleaning solution to your damp cloth and apply, scrubbing GENTLY (we cannot stress this enough…)
Remove any remaining residue with a clean damp cloth
Leave your boots to air-dry overnight. Don't leave them on a radiator or in direct sunlight as the heat/light could damage the material
Use your suede protector all over the outside of your UGG boots about 6 inches away from the surface. Then leave your boots to air-dry once more overnight
Take your suede brush and gently brush the suede in the right direction
How long will my UGG boots last?
If you take care of your UGGs, they can last you for years. Another top tip is to sprinkle some baking soda into the fluffy lining of your boots. When they've dried overnight, hoover out any remaining baking soda. This will help deodorise and keep them fresh for longer.
The beauty of UGG dupes is that you're not spending a fortune on the real thing — so if you do ruin your pair, you can buy another for super cheap without the stress.
Just be warned, UGGs can be considered one of the biggest icks. So if you think a new pair of UGG boots will get the thumbs up from your other-half, think again (although who actually cares what they think, am I right?). Or if you can't beat them, join them — check out our guide to the best UGG slippers for men.
