    if they are ugly why would you want to wear them so?? if this was the in case we may all wear pyjamas outdoors, the whole point is to look good... and yeah every single person wears them in the exact same way... you just look like a generic sheep.

    i think it depends what color u want em in. I have 5 differnet pairs. I find the bailey buttons ones dont look like the are the bailey button ones in the grey they just look lik the normal short ones. dont know why. if ur getting a light colour get the bailey buttons they stick out more dont ask me more they get more comments..opposite way around with the mormal ones....

    Has anyone got the Lo Pro uggs? Do the sizes run big like they do for classic uggs? Haven't found anywhere in Cork that sells them so I can't try them on!

    If in doubt, buy them in BT/Fitzpatricks/ Schuh. Better to fork out and have the real deal than fork out for fakes. Real UGGs never, ever have tags attached and will come packaged in a large brown cardboard box and each boot will be in it's own cellophane package inside the box. The label on the back of the boot is always a clear giveaway too regarding authenticity

    I was not really a fan of uggs until I saw these, You can get them cheap enough in Pennys or any shoe store there so comfy.

    Am A firm believer in Uggs. Cant believe i lasted so long without them, Have 3 pairs and Love every single on of them. Have the Tall chestnut uggs and they are without a doubt the best and most versatile boot around!
    For anyone going for the Bailey Button - I have the Chocolate ones and think ther great. A bit short with skinnies but fab with a skirt!

    Uggs are generally similar prices everywhere. You can try online shops like shudoo.co.uk or asos but the price will probably work out similar.

    I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not but I agree with the generic sheep statement, that's exactly what I think someone is if I see them wearing urrghhs. Someone who lacks individual style and just wants to blend in with the crowd.
    It's not as if they're even very practical in our wet climate. We get so much rain here surely they'd get soggy in no time if you were caught out in the rain? And as our weather is so unpredictable you could go out with them on in the morning in nice weather and the next minute it's lashing down! Not much use in the snow we had for the same reason and it must be like having your feet in an oven in the summer (and your feet must smell delightful then on a warm day when ya take them off??:eek:) so I fail to see how they're at all practical except for indoor wear.
    I lived for years in a much colder climate where some people wore ugg like boots but they had proper hard soles and were waterproof so I could see the use for them but uggs here in Ireland outdoors? Can't see the use for them as they look so ugly so surely they should have a practical purpose when they lack aesthetic appeal?:confused:

    Why is every second post here a rant about how ugly uggs are? Who cares, the people buying them know what they look like and dont care about the rants. People buy them for comfort, not everything has to be appealing to the eye.

    The only places to buy genuine UGG Australia boots online are listed on their website here. There's not a whole lot you can do. These are scam websites selling counterfeit goods, and once they go offline it can be impossible to get in contact with them again.

    They aren't the Ugg brand boots which most people here wear. The ones Schuh, Fitzpatricks, etc sell are made by Deckers and are produced in China. These are not Decker brand and are made in Australia.

    See, this is where it gets really confusing. Here is what I have gathered, and please anyone correct me if I'm wrong here: Ugg boots are not a brand, they're just a type of boots from Australia that are made from sheepskin.
    Now, Deckers is a company that manufactures Ugg boots, and they're made in China. Deckers make the one that we are all familiar with - the styles, colours and the little tag on the back of each boots. They're also a bit on the pricey side.

    Many other companies make Ugg boots that are genuine ie made from sheepskin, and these are still expensive.

    The cheap ones you find are not genuine Uggs, as in they are poorly made/bad sticthing/poor foot support and are not made from sheepskin. THIS is where people are getting caught out. Purchasing cheap Uggs, believing that they are the Deckers brand.

    Moral is, if you want the quality, you have to pay for it.

    Yeah, Twee has summarised it pretty well. Deckers aren't fake in terms of we're used to. They are the brand that are in the shops here. The Aussies have their own Uggs which they consider to be superior as they're made there while Deckers are made by an American company in China. If you want the ones you see people wearing with this logo, you want a pair of Deckers.

    UggLogoBrown

    Best bet is to get some one who is going to America to get them for you. So cheap there!
