Fake UGGs?

21 replies

FalconSkies · 30/11/2024 09:34

I bought some Ultra Mini Uggs from Ebay. Unboxed but the seller assured me they’re genuine. She said they’re brand new but £80 is probably too good to be true?

Something feels off to me, the soles seem very light and stiff. And the size 7 is incredibly tight on my foot (I sometimes take a size 6.5).

Does anyone have a pair? What are the labels inside like? It just says 9W and on the left boot there’s an Ugg Australia label and a row of holograms… but no proper sizing info?
pics attached.

Also, the seller still has another pair, same size, for sale…!

I think likely fake. I'd report

The size thing might not mean anything
Uggs do tend to be a bit tight until the sheepskin squishes a bit

fruitpastille · 30/11/2024 11:52

I've never owned a pair but when I've tried them on they are always smaller than I expect and the soles are stiff so I never buy them!

I have a pair of Uggs that my daughter has never worn .(Another story)They are genuine ,bought from QVC a few yrs ago .They look more luxurious than your in the fur dept and have UGG all over the sole .Think yours are fake , sorry

They look the same as my daughters - I got her fake ones from SaraMart last year for £18

I have real ones and my labels inside aren't like that at all

Petrine · 30/11/2024 12:04

Sorry they look fake. The lining doesn’t look like sheepskin and generally they just don’t look ‘right’.

unicornsarerealnot · 30/11/2024 12:07

@carujj those are Emu not Ugg though

unicornsarerealnot · 30/11/2024 12:08

The Uggs do feel a bit tight but then as the fur gets a bit flattened they feel bigger. And yes the soles feel stiff and plasticy at first. The lining looks a bit thin to me but surely you can tell if it is real fur or fake by touching? Hologram and soles look authentic to me

FatLarrysBanned · 30/11/2024 12:16

My ultra minis are very well worn and 4 years old (definitely original).The bottoms of yours look really rough around the edges and the sole logo looks off to me. The 2nd G looks wrong, it's not very defined. Mine were incredibly tight to start. I nearly returned them but persevered.

Yes their sizing does run small. The quality of Uggs has decreased massively over the years so I’m not sure it’s too helpful to compare older ones to now. There are lots of guides online for checking, or pop into Schuh/Office if you have one nearby.

FatLarrysBanned · 30/11/2024 12:21

Both images for comparison. Your circle is more off centre as well. Maybe they changed the design in 4 years, I'd take yours somewhere to compare to a pair of current originals.

What colour are those? Are they a sort of berry?
Any interest in selling them?

Look fake to me as well, the lining does not look like sheepskin (but yes real sheepskin does feel tight at first until 'worn in' a little.

Have a look at the soles here, yours are off centre and look unfinished/roughly cut along the side.

Thanks all, I went into town to check out some real Uggs this afternoon and took one of my (FAKE) boots in my bag to compare. Lots of red flags, synthetic sheepskin, ‘wrong’ stitching, off-centre logos, and wrong sizing.

I’ll be letting my Ebay contact have the long list of faults, looking forward to her reply 😬

Makes my blood boil, I even told her the boots were for my daughter’s birthday and she was fake sweet and helpful about postage.

Glad I caught it before wrapping them up and have forked out for the real deal. Lesson learnt!

Sorry , my mistake .I thought they are all the same type of boot !! What a twit! Ignore my comment comparing apples with pears not helpful.My daughter would be eye rolling!

newaccountoldlurker · 01/12/2024 14:13

Yours are the same as mine from saramart, I paid about £16 for them, great quality and I'm impressed with them but I wouldn't pay £80!

FalconSkies · 02/12/2024 10:40

My seller pretended she had no idea the boots were fake but has offered me a refund. I feel almost guilty sending them back because I think she'll just try the same trick again... but I can't afford to lose £80
