Ugg boot officionados - these real or fake?

I'm no expert; these look official but is the price just to good?

www.uggmoreboots.co.uk/UGG-Classic-Short-Black-Boots-318.html

Want some Uggs but can't afford the £150+ they seem to cost. However, also can't afford to spend £65 on fakes!

I've been caught out twice buying fakes, UGG and Jimmy Choo. I would say fakes because of the free shipping, and the 100% sheepskin on top of the web page, just sounds a bit desperate....

lucamom · 11/12/2012 23:16

Thanks, think I'll steer clear x

There is no telephone number on that website, that alone makes me suspicious. I would say fake. If it seems to good to be true it probably is.

recall · 11/12/2012 23:19

how much do they go for usually?

Doinmummy · 11/12/2012 23:24

The Classic Ugg boot costs about £165 .

vintageviolets · 11/12/2012 23:25

Leave it I think :(

cassell · 11/12/2012 23:27

The English is poor on the FAQ section which is often a giveaway and no company details given - I would definitely avoid.

goodmum123 · 11/12/2012 23:27

Spelling mistakes too like catalog etc

fergoose · 11/12/2012 23:28

no contact address or phone number - that alone is dodgy enough tbh

BieneMaja · 11/12/2012 23:35

Sorry, definitely fake. The boots may or may not arrive and they may seem fine but fake nevertheless Sad

TheHoHoHonlyWayisGerard · 12/12/2012 10:11

Try mandm direct for discount authentic uggs, or branch 309.

VeganCow · 12/12/2012 11:19

look here

its a webpage on the official Ugg Auststralia website, and on that page is a link to ALL their official UK shops and online shops.

DearJ0hn · 12/12/2012 11:21

they're fake

DearJ0hn · 12/12/2012 11:22

Ha, that website couldnt look more fake it if tried!

VeganCow · 12/12/2012 11:22

sorry here is the list of authoried online retailers.

VeganCow · 12/12/2012 11:24

in fact, i remember on the radio one Ugg themselves said that the only online store with the word'Ugg' in the name is themselves, www.uggaustralia.co.uk so all these shops called www.cheap-uggs.com etc are a rip off.

worldgonecrazy · 12/12/2012 11:24

That website links to fake boots. I guess the truth is that if the price is too good to be true, then they're most likely to be fakes.

Corygal · 12/12/2012 11:25

fake.

eggsfloursugarbutter · 12/12/2012 11:29

You will never get real Uggs at that much of a markdown. The only ones that tend to be heavily discounted are the coloured ones/cardy ones etc. That site appears quite convincing and I can see how people would be easily duped.

Better to save up and get the real deal.

bellarose2011 · 12/12/2012 11:30

Ugg australia have recently stated that the only domain name in the world with 'ugg' in is 'uggaustralia' any other website site with ugg in the domain name is 100% fake!
There are no exceptions to this.
Try 'jakes' they have some good ugg sales. But really at this time of year uggs are much sought after as xmas presents and your not going to find many bargains. Just wait till january and there will be loads of sales.

I always buy mine from Office.

SavoyCabbage · 12/12/2012 11:50

But in Australia uggs is a word that means sheepskin boots. Like wellies are rubber boots.

I can walk to an ugg Australia outlet from my house, well I could if it wasn't 39 degrees, and the boots are still au$300.

What exactly do you want? I'll have a look for you.

I have bought my dds ugg boots from any old place and they are just as good as my ugg Australia uggs.

Acky123 · 12/12/2012 21:40

I would recommend Whooga boots.

DP has some black ones. They've lasted two years; he loves them and wears them a lot with jeans when he's selling on markets. The tall classics are £89 at the moment. They're said to be better and warmer than Uggs.
