    Please help, my daughter wanted uggs for christmas and found the ones she wanted on a site called uggsireland, anyway she said she had found what she wanted and I paid for them, now I am panicing, in case they dont show up. Has anyone used this site, I dont care if they end up being fake - she choose them herself, but I do mind if my money is gone.

    Unless this website is an authorised reseller, the goods are highly like to be fake. A lot of these websites are registered by Chinese businesses. There's also a strong chance that you may never receive any goods.

    I sent western union to china once for a pair of uggs and never recieved them what i did get when i had to call and email the chinese seller was a box of christmas decorations no kidding,thats what i got.

    Then off another seller(yes i tried my luck again,bigger fool me),i got lucky and got a pair of uggs made out of suede and sheeps fur,and i got them for 40 dollars so i thought lovely.

    But i was lucky,most people get ripped off on sites like ioffer.com

    My daughter found the site by searching Uggs in Ireland, and was re-directed to a site called uggs ireland, but the url is iskambaner.eu :(

    Even if they do get sent there's always a chance they might be seized by customs.

    They're really cracking down! I know two people who got notification letters from Customs after ordering counterfeit Nike runners and Rayban sunglasses.

    That must be awful for them being totally out of pocket on this.

    Littlewoods are the cheapest for real UGGs. I got mine there too and also had a 10% discount code from O2 Priority Moments.

    Hi all, I bought ugg boots online this week (short) and they arrived but im concerned with the sizing.

    Im generally a size 4/5, 4 in converse for example and I heard that the uggs come in half a size bigger so I got the 4 to be safe.

    When I put them on the leg bit feels a bit snug, esp in one of them..I really have to tug them on to get past the stitching where the foot meets the leg...is this normal?

    Once on they feel fine! Im just afraid of ripping them or sonething..goigling says theyll stretch? ?

    Has anyone any experience or should I send them back for the 5?

    I had that problem with uggs when new to get the foot fully in. But they never ripped and also being sheepskin they have stretched out over time with wear.

    I have always bought my regular size 6 (39) with UGGs and its perfect for me. I don't really think there's any point buying a size down unless you have tried them on and know they fit better a size down.

    I bought a pair of genuine Ugg slippers in US - size 8. Initially they were tight - I thought they were too small, but they are grand now.

    You could argue they were never fashionable.

    However, I'd imagine the lack of wearing is down to our last winter being mild and our summer actually being warmish enough.

    Think you're confusing style with fashion. Alas they are not the same.

    They were never my cup of tea, but if you like them and find them comfortable then wear them.

    Always liked the way they wore down on one side and not the other, leaving the nest-headed girls who wore them doing a funny shuffle-walk :/

    They're sized with American sizings so that's two sizes up from your regular size here! I always found that US 8/UK 6 in Uggs was slightly large especially since they stretch a bit. Best thing to do would be to go and fit them on here and take note of the American size that fits best.
