The depths of winter might be behind us, but chilly days and cold weather are still popping up, leaving us wanting nothing more than to cosy up in UGG boots and UGG slippers. But, at the same time, spring shoe trends are championing a more elevated style of shoe, so where’s the balance?
While UGG boots have long been seen as casual, laidback footwear, Jennifer Lopez brought a much more refined take on the style to our attention when she stepped out in a pair of heeled boots from the brand's New Heights range back in 2024.
The perfect choice of shoe as she enjoyed a getaway in the skiing hotspot of Aspen, her Classic Ultra Mini New Heights Boot from UGG takes the Ultra Mini style we already know and love and elevates it (quite literally) with a bold, chunky notched platform sole and a 3-inch heel. What we’re left with is a cosy, fleece-lined heel that’s ideal for wearing with anything and everything, from leggings and loungewear to wide-leg jeans and midi dresses this spring – plus, they’re currently on sale.
Shop Heeled UGG Boots
As with all classic UGG boots, JLo's pair are made from premium suede, with a soft, wool-kissed lining adding extra comfort and warmth to the style. A platform EVA outsole, with a 3-inch heel and notched detail, elevates their look into one that's easy and effortlessly chic to wear for everyday.
While we love the versatile chestnut shade of JLo's UGG boots, this sand tone is one that's sure to complement neutral outfits. Match the sandy shade with a pair of beige tailored trousers and a long coat for a smart casual outfit idea that's as comfy as it is chic.
The black colourway of UGG's Classic Ultra Mini New Heights Boot is so versatile and makes the perfect addition to any black outfit, no matter the season. With some black jeans, a mini skirt and a pair of matching black tights, or even a knitted midi dress, they can be on hand to finish off any monochrome look.
Shop UGG Alternatives
Not only do these boots emulate the look of real deal UGG boots perfectly, but they're also made from premium double-faced Australian sheepskin and are lined with ultra-soft wool for a durable, luxe and cosy finish.
Shoppers say these UGG boot alternatives are 'very comfy' and 'look amazing,' with their 100% wool lining being nice and 'warm' in the cold weather. They're made from real suede, too, just like real UGGs.
A platform sole and chunky heel give these affordable boots a similar look to JLo's pair, with their chesnut brown, faux suede upper being a great match for the classic UGG hue. They also boast a faux fur lining for added warmth, and a modern silhouette keeps them feeling sleek, streamlined and easy to style.
JLo's heeled booties go to show that UGGs and the best UGG boot alternatives really can be a lot more refined and elegant than we often give them credit for, with a chunky heel, platform sole, and sleek mini silhouette creating a versatile and fashion-forward look.
With the neutral suede fabric that UGG is so known for, her New Heights boot is just as easily styled as any ankle boot you’ve worn over winter, whether you’re trying out the denim trends for 2026 and pairing them with some dark wash, wide-leg jeans, or you’re going for something more tailored. We can’t wait to try out her style with our go-to jeans and a blazer outfits, too.
What's also great about these UGGs is that, not only are they currently on sale, but, according to many different reviews, they offer far more support than normal, flat UGG boots do. One shopper said of them, “They're incredibly comfortable and surprisingly lightweight.” While another added, “They are like walking on clouds. I forget I am wearing high heels because they are just so comfortable.”
