Looking for cheap Uggs? Maybe you’re bracing for cold weather and the only thought that comforts you is slipping your feet into the brand’s signature warm, fuzzy boot. Or perhaps you have bunions and these snuggly boots are the only footwear you can stand to wear. But of course you don’t want to pay full price — you want cheap Uggs that’ll snuggle without blowing your shoe budget.

By the way, thoughts of wearing the boots aren’t just seasonal. A parade of Ugg boot wearers is seen throughout the summer — many even on beach boardwalks.

First, let’s set expectations. Lower-priced Uggs are not super easy to find. You may have to settle for less popular colors or styles. But if you feel up for the challenge, here’s my list of the best places to find Uggs on sale.

Top 5 places to find cheap Uggs — online and in store

Here’s the short story on how to find a deal on Uggs. If you don’t want to read this whole post, jump right to these retailers to look for available discounts on Uggs:

1. Nordstrom Rack
2. Amazon
3. Ugg.com
4. UGG Australia outlet stores. You can’t shop the Ugg outlets online unfortunately, but you can scroll down for a list of outlet store locations.

Ugg deals online

Nordstrom Rack

Nordstrom Rack does discount Uggs, usually in the range of 10-15% off. The stock includes close-out merchandise directly from the factory as well as clearance from Nordstrom full-line stores.

It’s a great strategy to check Nordstrom Rack often, particularly around holidays to catch a bigger discount on your Uggs. You can often save 30% or more off retail if you time it right.

Amazon

Ugg will occasionally discount its “fashion” styles on Amazon. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are good opportunities to save.

Ugg.com

The brand doesn’t often mark down its classic boot on Ugg.com — but there are exceptions. Over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, you may find classic boots discounted by 30% or so.

During the holiday season, Ugg has discounted select colors and sizes of its Classic Short Boot II by up to 30%.

What about Zappos and 6pm for cheaper Uggs?

I used to recommend checking Zappos and 6pm for discounted Uggs. Sadly, these sites don’t offer the deals they used to on this brand. Zappos carries a good selection of Uggs, but they’re generally at full price. 6pm mostly carries Ugg’s cheaper, sister brand Koolaburra.

Discounted Uggs in store

Ugg Outlet stores

Ugg outlets all have the same discount policy. When merchandise ends up on the clearance rack, expect a 50% discount. There can be bigger discounts depending on color. A sparkle version of the classic boot in colors like ruby red, emerald and deco blue, was selling at $149, a steep deduction from the regular price of $20o or $275. You won’t find the classic boot in the standard colors like chestnut and black at the outlet. The merchandise at outlets are usually discontinued items or from past seasons.

There are 32 Ugg outlets in the U.S., concentrated in California and New York. There are also three Ugg outlets in Canada.

Or, buy used Uggs at Tradesy

If you don’t mind wearing secondhand Ugg boots, head on over to Tradesy’s Ugg page for some amazing deals. Yes, Tradesy sells used pieces, but the condition is generally very good. We took a look at the Ugg options (3/31/2015) and were pretty impressed with the selection and prices.

Watch out for fakes, sort of

Here, we’ll pause to repeat the warning on getting tricked into buying fake boots. You can pass this warning along to anyone you know who is committed and especially someone who might boast of finding a site that sells UGGs at prices that seem too good to be true.

To ensure that you don’t get ripped off, UGG Australia has devoted to counterfeiting, empowering you to check. All you have to do is plug in the name of a purported Ugg discount seller, click, and you’ ll see if you’re getting a real Ugg Australia dealer. The reason you want to avoid fakes has to do with quality. You’ll get a boot with the style you want, but it probably be very poorly made.

Having said that, there are legitimate brands with styles similar to the Ugg line. These brands vary in terms of quality and style. But if you are not hung up on the logo per se, you could save some dough by choosing a knock-off brand like Bearpaw. See our article on legitimate fake UGGs for more information.

Fun fact about UGG Australia

Did you know Ugg Australia is an American company? It was founded more than 30 years ago in Southern California by an Australian surfer. Armed with sheepskin, he was looking for a way to make gear to protect his feet in the waves.
