Black Ugg owners please come in

I have a question for ya a co-worker of mine got a pair of black tall uggs that she ordered online but when I saw them today the tag on the back heel looks nothing like what it should look like. Could you please send me a picture of the back of your shoe. The tag should be black and white correct? Her's is brown and it says UGG

I feel bad for her that she paid $160 for them from a shoe store not ebay.

TIA
Denise

There are many ways to tell if a UGG is a fake.

1) The bottom of the boot in a Authenic Genuine UGG is recessed with the UGG insignia in a Classic tall or short.

2) The seller says they are made in New Zealand or Austrialia for a Classic Tall or Classic Short.

Uggs are Manufactured by Deckers Outdoor Corporation They have been making them in China for the past 2 years. They used to make them in Australia and New Zealand but have not for 2 years or more.

The uggs that are advertised as made in Australia or New Zealand are FAKES. They are not from Deckers Outdoor Corporation. They have copied the label and insignia but they are not from Deckers Inc.

3) They are subject to copywright infringement as only Deckers is allowed to use the word UGG. They have also copied Deckers labels and boxes.

4) The ones that are fake do not have a raised or emobossed insignia on the bottom of the soles.

5) ) You can report to UGG Australia any fake ones you see on ebay. [email protected] or to ebay by going to the bottom of the auction and clicking on report this item.

6) Ugg Australia has required any Authorized Ugg Dealer to promise and sign an agreement not to sell on ebay. If the price is below retail then it is most likey a fake as only ebay sellers who buy the boots retail are allowed to sell on ebay. So if theya re buying them retail with tax and having to pay ebay and pay pal fees and they are not seconds and are grade a boots they will be selling for more than retail. Any boots you see being sold less are usually fakes. The price of the boot is a good indicator for a fake.


7) The quality of the stitching on the fakes is very bad.

8) The box is different: Genuine Ugg Box is one piece with a flip open lid attached. It is a strong sturdy box. The words "UGG Australia are written in the middle of the lid. The Ugg Logo is a starbust orange sun. It is not big but small.
As of April 2007, Ugg is not making the box with a seperate lid. The top of the box is no longer attached to the bottom. There is a big sunburst on top and 'ugg australia'. The side of the lid has www.uggaustralia.com.


9) The Care Booklet that comes with the boots is in white. It has the words "Ugg Australia" embossed in silver. This means the letters are raised. You can feel them when you put your finger over them. Fake ones are badly printed and in silver. The pictures in the booklet are sharp and clear. The fakes ones are not. They have been scanned and printed in color and appear fuzzy or unclear. The colors are exaggerated. As of June of 2007 the Care booklet has been replaced with a cream colored card and an insert also in the beige color. Ugg no longer puts the white booklet in the box with the boots made after June of 2007.

10) Fake uggs do not run a size larger as the real uggs do.

11) Fake uggs are smaller with a wider ankle.

12) Fake uggs are taller than real uggs.

13) The heel of a fake Uggs is much narrower than a authentic UGG

14) Some fakes are not sheepskin but wool dyed and will smell of the dye.

15) The UGG label on the rear of the boots is higher up on a fake and the lettering is different from the genuine Ugg. The letters may have gaps between them in the fake in the real they are overlapping. Label of real ugg.

16) The shape of the front part of the fake ugg is shorter and goes up at more of an angel than the genuine UGG which has a rounder longer finish.

17) The Black Uggs have a black Sole and a Black Label with Ugg in white. The fake have tan soles and a brown label.
Authentic Black UGG

18) The sole in a real ugg is flexible. The fakes are rigid.

19) The chocolate brown ugg has a brown sole the fakes have a white sole.

fake ugg from AustraliaAuthentic Ugg from Deckers Inc. Ugg Australia.

20) Here are two pictures of a fake Ugg The stitching is poor, the material inside is synthetic and notice the heel. It is much thinner. The material of this fake is hard suede not soft sheepskin - you can bearly roll them down.Here is a real Ugg. Notice the heel height.This is a close up of the stitching on a real Ugg.

19) The height can be wither taller or shorter than the authentic Ugg. One classic tall received recently from a fake was 10 inches tall for a size 6 US compared to 12 1/2" 6 US for the authentic UGG. This means that the fake is not much taller than a classic short.

20) The label should be made of material not synthetic and be half way down the inside side of the boot. Occasionally a real ugg will have a synthetic label. Hand stamped like the fakes. I have some that are stamped and not stitched.

21) The Uggs now being sent from Deckers Inc. have a new box. The top is not attached to the bottom.

22) The selller leaves out any mention of Deckers in his description. He is selling Australian Uggs but not Deckers Uggs. Don't be fooled by this if you want Deckers Uggs. The box used is similar and copies Deckers Box and Logo, but they are not Deckers Uggs. If you email the seller he will tell you that he does not sell Deckers Uggs. An unsuspecting buyer sees authentic and thinks they are getting Deckers . The seller i is sellling "authentic" australian uggs and leaves out any mention of Deckers. You can email the seller and ask if it is Deckers.

23)10.In the UK there are two main types of fake - the ones with the blue label pinned on and with a dust bag that says "snow boots" and a VERY good fake which has light brown pinned on tags that say "made by CGM Co Ltd". The latter have the correct sole pattern and also the label that says "Made in China". Most purchasers are entirely fooled by this.
