Marks and Spencer is offering waterproof boots reminiscent of 'classic Uggs'. The Regatta Risley Waterproof Boots, exclusively sold online for £35, are available in charcoal, black, and brown shades ranging from sizes 3 to 7.

With 19 pairs sold in just two days, these boots have attracted considerable attention from consumers seeking affordable winter footwear. While genuine Ugg boots are priced at £185 at retailers such as Next, £35 seems a good price for a boot that looks pretty similar.

Customers have praised the product for its quality and comfort suitable for the upcoming winter season, with one buyer noting, "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 satisfied parent commented on their daughter's approval: "Very stylish boots. Purchased these for my daughter. She is very pleased with them. Good looking, warm and comfortable."

Echoing this sentiment, another adds, "Great buy, comfortable and very good value for money. Correct sizing.", reports Birmingham Live.

However, not all feedback has been glowing, as one customer critiqued the soles for being too thin for pavement use, saying, "Nice cheaper version of Uggs. Soles too thin for walking on pavement. Disappointed."

On its website, Marks and Spencer promotes these boots by highlighting their practical features for wintry conditions: "These Regatta boots have a waterproof construction to bring practicality to your wintry off-duty outfits. They've got stylish mid-height legs, which are lined with faux fur for warmth. The cleated soles offer substantial grip, while TECFOAMTM insocks ensure superior comfort underfoot."
