I tried Lamo boots once. They just weren't comfortable for me. I have weird hard-to-fit feet though.
I keep getting 20% off coupons from Ugg. I wait for their sales and then use the coupons unless their own promo code is better.
I'm still wearing the couple pair of Uggs I bought 7 years ago and they look like new. I just replace the insoles each year. So it boils down to about $40 a year if you include the cost of the boots and insoles. There aren't many quality boots out there for $40.
