Have I been scammed? Are these UGG boots genuine?

Please help me, I’ve spent ages googling photos and just can’t decide if these boots are genuine or not.

I purchased them off of Vinted, paid a decent price for them, seller had 5 positive reviews and was only advertising one pair of boots. I messaged and asked if they were genuine and seller replied yes.

They didn’t post when they said they would and I started to get a little suspicious, I done a little digging and found they were selling another pair of boots - using the same photos - but in a different size. Then I discovered a different profile using the same wording but different photos selling another pair. Both profiles contained the same lady in the profile pictures. I reported my suspicions and they have blocked the account.

Today the boots have arrived. They were packaged well, come in an UGG box, with UGG tissue paper, they do feel like good quality and like sheep skin wool but I just cannot shake off the feeling like I’ve been scammed.

what do you think? Are they real? They don’t have the holographic label inside which seems to be the only difference I can spot to my novice eye. If they are not real they are a very, very good copy.

Does the inside label have a QR code on it? If you use your phone to take a pic it should link to the Ugg website with your boot shown.

rubyslippers · 23/01/2024 20:36

you can check the labels - the security label should be attached to the right boot. The security label will have a holographic sun logo and a QR code that you can scan to verify its authenticity.

Windymcwindyson · 23/01/2024 20:36

Should have a hologram label inside...

rainydaysandwednesdays · 23/01/2024 20:37

Here are mine! Yours look ok...my labels are darker but that could be age or main colour

That fur looks like it ready to shed...

forevercurious · 23/01/2024 20:40

So this is the QR code and this is the website it took me too.

I've just checked mine which were bought in Schuh - they have the holographic image on the label inside the boot.

OP, I'd report it as a fake to Vinted with the evidence, especially the lack of holograph and ask them to deal. You may have to post these boots back, but it will depend on what is offered by the seller and Vinted.

forevercurious · 23/01/2024 20:43

This is the label in the other boot, definitely not holographic :(

I’m concerned ill send them back and then the seller will say they are not the ones they sent me. However, their profile has been blocked so I don’t even know how that will work now!

Vinted are bloody useless at stuff like this. You'll spend a fortune on postage and they don't give a shit.

FamilyAreEverything · 23/01/2024 20:49

If their profile has been blocked then it’s likely that Vinted are on to them anyway. Raise a dispute that they are fake with Vinted and you should get a refund (and not have to send them back either)

forevercurious · 23/01/2024 21:02

This is what I’m hoping. I’ve raised it with the seller but as their account is blocked I’ve also escalated it up to Vinted and it’s under review so 🤞 never again am I buying some expensive on there!

Seems to be the Chinese version of Ugg ?

@forevercurious
I was sold a fake item from a Vinted seller a couple of months back, reported it to Vinted and sent pics of the parts of item the highlighted to me that it was fake. The sellers account was blocked. I received a refund a few days after and was not asked to return the counterfeit

Paw2024 · 23/01/2024 21:17

If you aren't fussed about brand, I have aus wooli ones from here and they're cheaper

Paw2024 · 23/01/2024 21:17

What's the sizing like? My daughter really wants boots like this, but she has wide feet so finding things to fit is problematic.

Paw2024 · 23/01/2024 21:59

@WhatsitWiggle I'm between a 7 and 8 and wear a size 8 so I would say size up if in between sizes, but wouldn't say they were narrow
I've had to return stuff to that site before and it was easy

This is the label from my Uggs

forevercurious · 23/01/2024 22:08

Thank you for the link! Annoyingly I had originally ordered some Joe brown Ugg style boots but the delivery date keeps getting pushed back so decided to go for the uggs via Vinted. Will keep these in mind instead!

They look authentic to me... If they're fake, they're well done.

The stitching on yours looks neater than the ops pair where it looks badly sewn.

whatsitabout79 · 24/01/2024 18:39

I don't think they are fake they look exactly like mine. I'll send pics when I'm home later
