The resemblance has even garnered some attention on social media. In a clip posted in Nov. 2022, TikTok user @kara_elizabeth provides a detailed review of each product. She points out that while the outside may not look quite as soft and the fur lining inside the boots slightly differs from the genuine Uggs, she concludes that the Cushionaire boots are “a pretty good dupe.”
In another side-by-side comparison video , user @karsenkimball notes that while there’s obviously no Ugg label on the back of the dupe, it’s otherwise a similar color—and even says the dupe has softer fur lining. She calls the Cushionaire a “10 out of 10” and the “best dupe I’ve seen yet.”

Despite their subtle differences, shopping experts who’ve examined the products agree that the affordable options are likely a decent purchase.
“It seems like all of these dupes are actually pretty close to being actual dupes—that is, they look almost identical to real Ugg boots,” says Julie Ramhold , consumer analyst with DealNews.com. “That said, closer inspection will obviously show that they aren’t Uggs—the trademark logo is missing—so if you’re concerned with that, it’s worth keeping in mind.”
She adds that even though reviews of the items are somewhat mixed, they’re mostly good overall, noting the Cushionaire’s 4.6-star average.
“How much this matters to you may determine whether or not it’s worth trying these knockoffs for much less, but given the price is so much lower than the authentic thing, it seems like it’s worth it to me,” she says.

Even if the cheaper pairs are a good pickup, Ramhold warns there could still be some other problems for shoppers trying to get their hands on some.
“While that isn’t cheap by any means, it still beats paying $150 or more for the same look at Ugg, so it’s definitely worth trying to find a more affordable pair if you can,” Ramhold says.
