XP: UGGS -where to find cheaper?

In my family, we picked names out of a hat and I got my SIL. The gift limit is $100.  I'd like to buy a pair of Black Classic Short UGGS for her, but it seems like the going rate for the UGGS is $140. 

Does anyone know where I can get them cheaper?  I've seen "outlet" stores, but can't figure out if they are legit or not.  Also, I'm nervous buying from an obscure retailer with no reviews.

TIA

  • I have a pair of Bearpaws, they are similar to Uggs, but cheaper. I've had mine for a year & they're still in great shape.

  • What size does she wear? Kid's Uggs are a lot cheaper and I've found they run pretty big. I wear a women's size 5.5/6 and my Uggs are a kid's size 3. On Zappos the kid's sizes go up to 6. They will be a little shorter than the adult ones, but since I'm petite they work out fine. Plus they're only $110.

    This.  Although, my size is not as big a difference.  I wear a 7 in most shoes, and I fit in a Big Kid 6, which is the largest kids size. 

    Check amazon.

    I thought about this, but I was worried about them being too narrow.  She is petite as well, but also pregnant.  I currently have a women's 5 and was thinking of buying a new pair in kids for myself too.  My northface snowboots are kids, but are too narrow.  

  • I also have Bearpaw boots (they look a lot like Uggs).  I got a tall black pair that I wear constantly during the winter (I have had them since winter of 2007).  I just had to buy an insert footpad at some point to replace the fur on the bottom that wore down, but they're still as good as new.  I think the insert is by Ugg and cost $20 on ebay.

    I also have a short brown pair of Bearpaws that I don't wear as often, simply because they're shorter and don't keep my legs as warm.

    Another brand to check out is "Emu"...very warm and very similar to Ugg.  I bought a pair of slippers on Amazon that are PERFECT.

    A tip for you (or your sister!):  Buy a water-proofer and spray the boots before wearing them outside.  Makes a world of difference.  Also, if you're unfamiliar with fur-lined boots, you're not supposed to wear socks with them; the sheep fur is warm enough that you don't need socks (I can vouch from this being from WI, I don't wear socks with them and am totally fine, even outside in the cold weather.)
