Uggs and Ugg Inspired Kids' Boots : The Look for Less
Uggs and Ugg Inspired Kids' Boots

By Michelle Kouzmine, About.com

Uggs! These Australian boots that have taken America by storm are not just trendy, they are very practical for kids. In fact, I think that they are ideal for kids who live in colder climates. They keep feet warm even when the temperature drops well below freezing, and they amazingly, don't overheat little feet when indoors. Kids love Uggs because they are very comfortable, and because they are really easy to pull on and off.
They are crafted from high quality sheepskin suede for superior quality and warmth. The woolen sheepskin is breathable, keeping feet warm without over heating, and it keeps moisture away from the skin.

Genuine Uggs

Real Uggs come in many shapes, sizes and colors. If you want a genuine pair of Uggs for you kids, you have a lot of options, but the most well know style of Ugg boots are their Classic Boots.

Ugg's signature look is still their most popular. These are ideal boots for kids because they are wonderfully comfortable and the slip-on design makes them easy to get on and off. The insole of these boots have a thick fleece lining that molds to your child's foot providing great arch support. The Kids' Classic Boots are available in a rainbow assortment of colors and are perfect for boys or girls.

The Ugg-like Look for Less

If, however, you do not need the warmth and quality that a genuine pair of Uggs provide, but you would still like to get your kid a pair of Ugg-inspired boots, you are in luck. Many designers are producing Ugg-like boots from faux shearling for kids at great prices. Better still, I've found some genuine shearling boots at excellent prices as well.

Shearling Boots
These boots available at Storybook.com are made with real shearling, so they are sure to keep your kid's feet snuggly and warm. They look very similar to Ugg boots and are also available in many colors.
