M&S waterproof boots praised as ‘good value for money’
Marks and Spencer has launched a range of waterproof boots that are a similar style to the iconic Ugg design. The Regatta Risley Waterproof Boots, priced at £35, are an online exclusive and come in three chic shades, charcoal, black, and brown, available in sizes 3 to 7.
In just 48 hours, eager customers have snapped up these boots, signalling their popularity among bargain hunters. With classic Ugg boots retailing for £185 at Next, the M&S offering is a cheaper alternative for those seeking a comparable aesthetic with a smaller budget.
Shoppers have been quick to praise the boots, with one satisfied customer commenting: “Product is very, very, good and perfect for the coming winter. These were bought as a gift. I had already bought a pair last year for myself and loved them. Very comfortable.”
Another happy parent remarked: “Very stylish boots. Purchased these for my daughter. She is very pleased with them. Good looking, warm and comfortable.”
A third buyer echoed these sentiments, reports Birmingham Live: “Great buy, comfortable and very good value for money. Correct sizing.”
While a fourth praised: “The stitching around the boot is stunning. It is very sturdy, perfectly done and very attractive. I can’t wait for the cold weather to come.”
However, not all feedback was glowing, as one shopper expressed disappointment in the product’s quality: “Nice cheaper version of Uggs. Soles too thin for walking on pavement. Disappointed.”
On its website, Marks and Spencer tout the boots’ practicality for wintry casual wear. The brand highlights features such as faux fur lining for added warmth, cleated soles for grip, and TECFOAMTM in socks for enhanced comfort.
Alternatively, classic Uggs are made from signature sheepskin, ultra-soft UGGplush™ lining, and flexible, lightweight soles. The premium materials are one reason they have a higher asking price.
You can buy classic Ugg boots for £185 from John Lewis and for £185 from Next as well. They are available in black or chestnut shades.
