UGG Thread - Read first post BEFORE posting [Updated 17/11/2010]

DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE FIRST POST!

Do not start any other threads on the forum about UGG boots - everything in here, from sizing, care and purchasing.

How to spot fake UGG websites.

Poor spelling and grammar No contact phone number No contact address Unusual methods of payment Website name like "ugg-sale", "ugg-boots-ireland", "uggsoutlet" etc And theGOLDEN RULE - If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Uggs do not need to sell their products at massive discounts like 65% off or whatever, they are always full price, except in some cases of seasonal styles.

You can check on the UGG Australia website - Counterfeit Education [URL="http://www.uggaustralia.com/beware-cheap-ugg-boots-for-sale/counterfeit-education,default,pg.html
"]HERE[/URL]. There's information about counterfeiting and you can input a website you're not sure about to check if it's on UGG Australia's official retailers list. List of global online stores http://global.uggaustralia.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-UGG-GM-Site/en_MU/Storelocator-OnlineStores.

Website checker http://counterfeit.uggaustralia.eu/on/demandware.store/Sites-UGG-COUNTERFEIT-EU-Site/en/Counterfeit-Show?caid=what-is-counterfeit

Counterfeiting is ILLEGAL so do not post any links to any sites with fake goods.

Please consider the above before making a post in this thread.

hey, i bought a pair of uggs in schuh a couple months ago but they got destroyed in the rain! tried cleaning them but they just dont look the same. wasnt told about the ugg cleaning kit at all!

i really wana buy a new pair but cant pay the price here! hello! recession! lol:D really want to buy them online so i was wondering what the best & cheap website would be?? i only want real uggs!

iv found this website,looks pretty good just wondering if anyone has bought something from them?? http://www.designercapital.co.uk/ugg_boots_3.html

thanks x

Toto Wolfcastle · 18-01-2009 3:26am

That site looks really dodgy to me. I can't find any contact info besides the form, and the only payment logo (verisign) is one that can't be clicked and is barely visible.

I could be wrong but I wouldn't go near it.

Pythia · 18-01-2009 1:46pm

This is a pic from their website. The lower part of the shoe looks quite short and the leg part is wider. This is a sure sign they are fake. Don't expect to pay less than about 120 for Uggs. Real sites include the official Ugg site and Shudoo.co.uk.

tinkerbell · 18-01-2009 2:38pm

^^ That pic totally screams fake.

You're never gonna find the classic UGG Australia boots for anything less than $130 for short or $160 for the tall.

michael_23 · 18-01-2009 2:48pm

That site screams scam. Everything on there timberland boots, hoodies etc. is most definitely fake. If you search for similar items on alibaba you will see where the gear comes from.

bigpinkelephant · 18-01-2009 4:21pm

Hi OP,
Those Uggs are fake.

1. Real Uggs don't have tags attached to them.
2. Real Uggs don't come in a lot of those styles.

www.uggaustralia.com is the official site.

Jenna66 · 11-02-2009 7:10pm

There are offers on this website here

http://www.welovediscounts.com/uggs.html

- all from reputable UGGS suppliers and lots of decent discount codes to use when buying.

I got 10% off when I bought my UGGS and the ones i bought were in a Sale too!

DO NOT buy from dodgy sites or on Ebay etc - there are loads of fakes out there

Jenna66 · 01-10-2009 5:02pm

Hi

A site with info on spotting fake UGGs and with some good deals and discounts on authentic UGGS from reputable suppliers is

I have done quiet a bit of research for an Irish Deals blog that I write, trying to source the best value genuine Ugg Boots from online retailers who deliver to Ireland.

Branch309 are selling genuine Uggs (they are part of the Schuh group and Schuh are a geninue distributor for Ugg Australia).
Ultra Short Uggs for £99 with FREE delivery to Ireland.

More details and examples on my blog her.

I hope this info helps

Good price but unfortunately the Ultra Short are cheaper because no one really likes them.

True dat..

bdo · 08-10-2009 5:32pm

With the way Sterling has gone, its cheaper to buy UGG boots from (specific) UK webstores that ship to Ireland.

For example, real short classic UGG boots are selling for about €210 here in Dublin today but cost only about €163 (£150) from UK websites (before shipping costs).

If you visit my blog post about UGG boots, you can get a code for a further 5% off, bringing the cost down to below €150 (£135).

shoeaholic · 08-10-2009 8:11pm

I just ordered from Cloggs.co.uk and got 3 for 2 on all UGGs worked out at €120 per pair!!! Bargin in my eyes.

PM me for promotion code!!! it's only valid until the 11th of Oct

Aine5 · 06-11-2009 11:37am

Hi

I am going to get myself some uggs, however I'm unsure what kind to get.
I got the Classic tall in Chocolate last year, and I love them, especially in this weather and my toes feel like there in an oven:)
I am torn between the Bailey Buttons & Classic tall in chestnut.

Has anybody got the Bailey Buttons? Are they really short?

All suggestions and opinions welcome:D

viv2 · 06-11-2009 12:52pm

Have you had a look on the ugg website? There are some new woollen ones that look gorgeous.
http://www.uggaustralia.com/ProductDetails.aspx?gID=w&productID=5824&model=Classic+Tall+Wool

I have the classic tall in both choc and chestnut and love them and i loved the bailey button when i first saw them but then they brought out that woollen one and i changed my mind.

Aine5 · 06-11-2009 2:05pm

Viv you have just thrown a new angle on my prob:D The wool 1s are gorgeous.

I have just been on asos and i see they have taken down their ugg prices - the Classic tall is now £152. I paid £200 for mine last year.

Oh temptation:)

viv2 · 06-11-2009 4:03pm

Lol sorry about that

Thats a great price for the uggs on asos.If i wasnt heading to the US soon id get a pair from them

too many fakes around at the moment at least you could trust them.

carebare · 06-11-2009 7:25pm

Check out this site:
www.uggoutlets-au.com
Free shipping and you can get a good deal!

viv2 · 06-11-2009 10:28pm

^^^^ I wouldnt buy from that site (uggoutlets) they sell fakes,ugg australia are the only ones allowed to use ugg in their domain name.Not really a good deal for fake uggs

:)

Redpunto · 06-11-2009 10:30pm

the cheaper ones ??

cassie.xo · 07-11-2009 7:41pm

Well if you live near dublin then dey sell them in Fitzpatricks on Grafton Street and theyre at a cheaper price than everywhere else. I got a pair there. The ankle length ones and they were €180 but theyre really worth it.

LadyMayBelle · 07-11-2009 7:43pm

Can I just ask a question about Uggs cos even tho I dont have boy they look really warm...but when it rains dont they hold the water? Surely in Ireland soggy Uggs are common...

cassie.xo · 07-11-2009 7:45pm

Yeah kind of. But i dont really wear them out in the rain cos i paid 2 much 4 dem haha

chocoholic · 07-11-2009 8:01pm

I got this pair in the US last December. http://www.uggaustralia.com/ProductDetails.aspx?gID=w&productID=5124&model=Suburb+Crochet
I love them!

cassie.xo · 07-11-2009 8:07pm

theyre lovely. how much are the plain tall ones in the US do you no?

eth0_ · 07-11-2009 9:28pm

I've bought these from ebay. I am 99.9% sure they are genuine

chocoholic · 07-11-2009 11:18pm

They look genuine alright. When I tried them on I found the uggs with the zips to be a lot tighter compared to the classic ones in the same size.

BanzaiBk · 08-11-2009 12:46pm

Ugh I tried them on, they were glorious

Can't justify 250£ on another pair of boots all the same.

I wish I hadn't opened this thread. I was sooo sure of what UGG's I was buying in America next week but this changes everything (

sillymoo · 08-11-2009 7:27pm

Are the kensington uggs waterproof do you think? Would love to get a pair but really would nat be practical for me if they were not waterproof

hey they look lovely! very tempted to get a pair myself, want them for xmas! My friend bought Uggs from Ebay and they were the real deal...

Aine5 · 09-11-2009 1:15pm

Ok so i think ive finally made a decision - I'm going to get the cardy uggs in grey - asos now just a little over £90. I seen a few people with them over the weekend, and though they were lovely when I seen them on.

I am going to drop a few hints and hopefully my bf will pick up on it and Xmas day I will hopefully wake up to a pair of Bailey Button Uggs.

Won't happen. B/F's or hubbies, men don't understand subtle hints. You need to point to them and tell him in no uncertain terms that you want those, in that size and in that colour and nothing else will do.

+1

Have to second that as a bloke I would be much happier knowing what I have to buy and then knowing there is a happy face when the present is opened on xmas day. Do your bf and yourself a favour march him into the shop try on the ones you like turn to him and say I would love if you bought me these boots and a card for xmas and tell him you'll be standing outside the shop for the next 5 minutes as the queue at the till isn't that long.

Aine5 · 09-11-2009 3:03pm

Txt_mess you have me laughing here:D

He's usually very good at picking up on my hints, and then there is that nice surprise element on Xmas morning, wondering did he, or didnt he.
Then again last year was a bit dofferent, as I had an aching back coming up to Xmas, so I hinted on a Spa day, xmas morning arrived and the living room was covered in boxes - a massager - the 1s that you but over a chair, a massage cushion and a neck massager:D
My hints kinda worked

shining star · 09-11-2009 4:21pm

I just got a new pair of Classic short Uggs in grey and I LOVE them!! I got them on my-wardrobe.com with a discount code......just checked and it's still working. Put in COWSHED at the check out and you get €60 off over a certain spend. I think they cost me €120 plus shipping (€19) which was an absolute bargain

LizT · 09-11-2009 9:54pm

I'm thinking of getting a pair of classic long uggs. Are they very tight fitting around the leg? I have chunky legs and I don't think they'll fit me
