If you want a British alternative to UGG boots, I'd look for a UK brand that offers the same soft sheepskin lining, cosy feel and easy slip-on style - ideally with better value or a more distinctly British heritage.

The best choice depends on whether you want a near-identical UGG look, traditional sheepskin craftsmanship, or a more fashionable British brand.

## My top 4 British alternatives to UGG

!Celtic & Co. Celt Regular Sheepskin Boots, Burnt Honey

1\. Celtic & Co - best overall

(My top pick)

Approx. £160-£189

Genuine sheepskin, traditional craftsmanship and classic ankle-boot styles. Made in Cornwall, it's the closest match if you want a premium British-made alternative rather than a cheap imitation. www.celticandco.comwww.yournextshoes.com

!Just Sheepskin Women's Mini Classic Sheepskin Boots, Chestnut

2\. Just Sheepskin - best mid-range option

Approx. £89-£110

Cosy, traditional sheepskin boots with a familiar UGG-style silhouette. A good option if you want the real sheepskin feel without spending quite as much.

Shop Just Sheepskin at John Lewis

!Holland Cooper Ultra Mini Shearling Boot | Oxygen Clothing

3\. Holland Cooper - best for fashion

Around £109-£150

A polished British country-luxe aesthetic, ideal if you like the short UGG look but want something with a slightly more styled, designer feel.

!So cosy, these high-street boots nail UGG's ultra mini look | Woman & Home

4\. Next - best affordable lookalike

Around £42

Short, rounded ankle boots with a cosy lining and water-repellent finish. Great for recreating the UGG Ultra Mini look on a budget, although the lining is faux fur rather than genuine sheepskin. www.womanandhome.com

## Which would I buy?

- Best quality and British craftsmanship\: Celtic & Co. - Best value with real sheepskin\: Just Sheepskin. - Best affordable fashion dupe\: Next.

One tip for British weather: look for a water-resistant or waterproof model if you'll wear them outdoors regularly. Ordinary suede sheepskin boots aren't ideal for prolonged rain.

Are you looking for the short UGG Ultra Mini style, the classic ankle-height boots, or the Tasman slipper style? I can narrow it down to the closest British alternatives for that particular look.

If you want newer British footwear labels, start with these:

- Dirt - London label known for playful, unconventional shoes and fashion-forward silhouettes; a strong choice for statement footwear. - Christen - Founded in 2024 by designer Nina Christensen, offering sculptural, visually distinctive shoes. - Hobbs London - A good source for polished women's courts, boots and occasion shoes with a distinctly British aesthetic. - Holland Cooper - Founded in 2008 and expanded into footwear in 2020, with riding-inspired boots, wellies and country-luxe styles. - Duke + Dexter - London-based label best known for contemporary loafers, often featuring bold prints and collaborations. - Vivienne Westwood - An established rather than new brand, but still one of Britain's strongest choices for eccentric, fashion-led shoes. - Grenson - A heritage Northamptonshire shoemaker that continues to produce much of its footwear in Britain, especially distinctive boots and brogues. - Crockett & Jones - Premium British-made dress shoes and boots, ideal if construction and longevity matter more than trendiness. - New Balance Made in UK - Not a British-founded brand, but its UK-made sneakers offer strong craftsmanship and a more understated option; recent models include the military-inspired Allerdale.

Best picks by style:

- Most fashion-forward: Dirt or Christen - Best contemporary loafers: Duke + Dexter - Best country boots: Holland Cooper - Best British-made heritage shoes: Grenson or Crockett & Jones - Best UK-made sneakers: New Balance Made in UK
