                                                            ANNA'S UGG GUIDE

All genuine Deckers (Decker)  2008 Uggs will contain the following characteristics listed below.

Note the Sunburst logo on box, the cream care booklet with bronze logo. The registered trademark ® next to the 'G' on UGG on the underneath of sole. Also note that they appear twice in between the g's.

Take a good look at the logo on the heel, all genuine Uggs should contain a logo like the one in the pic below. Take a good look at the label on the inside of boot.

 

 

 

My name is Anna, i have been selling genuine Grade A Ugg boots for over 4 years. Here is my concise guide in how to detect a fake Ugg boot.

1. Genuine Ugg Australia Boots are manufactured by Deckers Corporation. All boots should have the registered trademark ® symbol on the inside label, underneath of sole & on the Ugg insignia.

2. Genuine Ugg Australia boots have real sheepskin for the lining & not synthetic fur.

3. The correct care booklet is a cream card and is embossed with a bronze logo. This has replaced the White 9 x 7 cm white booklet embossed with a silver logo.

4. Be careful with sellers listing huge quantities on 1 & 3 days listings. Check their Feedback.

5. If purchasing from abroad, please be aware that you are liable for import duty, handling fee & VAT. These charges are calculated on the combined purchase price + shipping costs. Typically expect to pay an extra 40-50% in charges.

6. The seller should refer to the boots with the correct style name. For example Ugg Australia Classic Tall and not just Ugg Boots or Uggs.

7. Look out for the spelling and grammar errors on some listings. There are sellers from Hong Kong, China & Singapore etc selling cheap fake copies.

8. Be wary of sellers who list hundreds of boots in every style, colour & size variation. They are probably selling to order, contact them first & request pictures with a current newspaper showing the date. This ensures that they actually have the item in stock & prevents disappointment.

9. Do not expect to purchase a genuine pair of Deckers Ugg's significantly below the recommended retail price. Anything listed below is probably a fake pair or a used pair.

10. Genuine Classic Tall & Short Uggs are manufactured by Deckers In China. Nightfall & Ultra Uggs are manufactured by Deckers in New Zealand.

11. Happy Ugg buying, Anna.
