How do you tell if ugg boots are fake?

Answer 1

• If the UGG boots are real they will have something on the back of the shoe and the soles that says "UGG." Also, inside one of the pair of there will be a tag that says the size and the word "UGG."
• The fur is much much, much softer, because it is realsheepskin. And there is an UGG tag on the back heel.
• It's simple: Real UGGs have a patchwork on the back of the heel that says "UGG Australia" - all the rest are fake.
• Sometimes the boots can be a fake even though they have a label that says "UGG. The fur on a real UGG is thicker; the rectangular shape in the back is much harder and sturdier on a real UGG; the suede is softer and you can write on the suede with your finger.

  Also, on the back of the boot there should be an "R" circled next to the UGG sign; and, on the older models - next to where you see the UGG sign on the sole of the boot - you will see a circled "R" everywhere.

  In addition, the sole on a real UGG has give to it; when you walk, they bend more other than the fake ones (which do not bend and are very stiff).

Answer 2

The way you can tell it is a real ugg is the back for the heal. almost all shoes have a brand on the heel. so if it says UGGS. then you've got them. if it says Bearclaw or something then it's not. there's a lot of boot brands that copy UGGS so be careful of what they look like to.

Answer 3

if it does not have a little rectangle on the back saying ugg

1) The bottom of the boot is raised or embossed with the UGG insignia in a Classic tall or short Authentic Ugg. A fake is flat.

2) The seller says they are made in New Zealand or Australia for a Classic Tall or Classic Short. Uggs are Manufactured by Deckers Inc. They have been making them in China for the past 3 years. They used to make them in Australia and New Zealand but have not for 3 years or more. The uggs that are advertised as made in Australia or New Zealand are FAKES. They are not from Deckers Inc. They have copied the label and insignia but they are not from Deckers Inc.

3) They are subject to copywright infringment 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 embossed insignia on the bottom of the soles.

5) You can report to UGG Australia any fake ones you see on eBay at info@uggaustralia.com or at the bottom of an auction of a Fake Ugg click 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. This is from the Deckers Web site: "eBay Sellers/On-Line Auctions and Trade Boards: UGG® Australia does NOT authorize any of its dealers to sell on eBay, any other on-line auctions or trade boards. UGG® Australia's agreements with its dealers prohibit sales on auction sites. Accordingly, UGG® Australia does not offer its limited warranty or rebates for products purchased on these sites and will not assist with resolution of any disputes including assistance with Pay Pal refund requests." So if they are 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 wrten in the middle of the lid. The Ugg Logo is a starbust orange sun. It is not big but small. Ugg now as of May 2007 has a new box. It is a flip top box.

9) The Care Booklet that comes with the boots is in white. It has the words "Ugg Australia" embossed and it is square. 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. it smells of paint/lacquer which comes from the dye used on the synthetic materials.16) 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.

15) 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.

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

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

18) The sole in a real ugg is about a half inch or more, the sole of a fake ugg is very very thin maybe 1/4 inch

19) The height can be either 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 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 separate 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.

21) The fake may have a blue label pinned to it or a brown cloth protection bag which says "Snow Boots" - these are not provided with Authentic Uggs.

22)The font of the inside label on a fake is different from a Genuine UGG. and the outside label will have the 'Australia' in a bolder font on the fake . The label inside should say made in China. If it says made in New Zealand or Austraia it is a fake.

23) 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.

24) If the Nightfall is any other color but Chestnut it is a fake. Deckers only makes Nightfall in Chestnut.

25)If you see a Sundance in any other color but Chestnut Sand or Chocolate it is a fake. Deckers has stopped making it in Black. There may be old stock around but any ones selling large amounts are probably fakes.
