Cushionaire Women's Hippy Genuine Suede Pull-On Platform Boot - $79.99
AmazonBoots with the fur are back in season with an elevated look — literally. Uggs are enjoying a long-awaited comeback this winter, hitting shelves and sidewalks across the globe in new leg-lengthening platform designs that TikTok can’t get enough of like the Ultra Mini Platform Boot. While these viral it-shoes can be seen all over social media, they’re nearly impossible to find anywhere else: Restocks are few and far between, and price gouging is rampant on third-party resale sites.

If you haven’t been able to get your hands on (or feet in) the coveted celebrity-approved kicks, Amazon now has a near-identical alternative that boasts the buzzy style of its mainstream competitor at half the price.
Offering the boost of a heel with the faux-fur comfort of a loafer, the Cushionaire Hippy Genuine Suede Pull-On Platform Boot has been billed by enthusiastic reviewers as “stylish, comfortable and surprisingly high quality for the price.” With features like a 1.75-inch platform, vegan fur lining, memory foam padding and a premium suede leather exterior, the boot stands up to competition with its weather-resistant design and $80 price tag.
Like its Ugg cousin, the Cushionaire Platform Boot has an EVA foam midsole, genuine suede and ultra-short ankle length exaggerated by an extra-high platform. Both come in the popular chestnut color, with additional neutral options including black, green and taupe.
Key differences? Ugg employs an upcycled wool blend for the shoe's interior construction while Cushionaire uses soft faux fur; the Ugg boot also has a slightly higher 2-inch platform than its 1.75-inch counterpart. Notably, those who fall between shoe sizes may appreciate Cushionaire’s half-size options, which Ugg does not offer for this style.
Ready to score a hot deal on cold-weather boots? Head over to Amazon and snag a pair of Cushionaire Pull-On Platform Boots for $80 while this budget-friendly style is still available.
