Why i would you want to get genuine Ugg boots when there are so many low-cost copies on the market? You've heard the old saying: You only get what you pay for!
Genuine Ugg boots are made with a tanned outer surface and double faced sheepskin with fleece on the inside of the boot. the top of the boot has fleece on the outside. Rubber is the material in the sole of the boot, although often they are made of synthetic materials. If you look closely, you'll see stitching is on the outside of the boot; this is an Ugg feature. These days, Uggs are available in many colors: black, chestnut, blue, pink, just to name a few. Uggs can be had in lace-up and slip-on variations; their height can range from just above the ankle to above the knee. My favorite is the Classic Short Boot!
What really skyrocketed these boots in popularity is the many Hollywood starlets that were seen wearing them ! The mere fact these stars wear Uggs is an unsaid endorsement of the product.
Beware of Fakes:
In recent years we have seen a plethora of Ugg-style boots that are fakes; Some of these fakes feature cow leather and various types of fur instead of fleece. There is one reason why the fakes are selling: they are much cheaper than genuine Uggs. But the quality may very well be lacking! Real Ugg boots are easily spottable as they are double-faced and will not have the two skins glued together. Cowhide suede is used on the outer boot in a lot of the fakes, and they also have lower grade sheepskin glued inside, usually in pieces. When sheepskin is slathered in glue and piece application, pieces often come off on the inside.
The genuine Ugg sheepskins are extra thick, which is highly desireable for a boot. The lower grade sheepskins are thinner and will lead to the boot sagging, and more than likely wear out much quicker.
But the easiest way to spot an imitation Ugg is when it is made up entirely of synthetic materials. However, many synthetic materials these days look and feel just like real sheepskin! even the wool and suede of sheepskin is copied by modern synthetics. Synthetic boots will, however, be terribly uncomfortable as they will not breathe like natural sheepskin will, leaving the owner with sweaty feet.
Also note that most fake Uggs will have irregular shoe sizing, so a size 9 womens may or may not be a real size 9 womens! Make sure you get genuine Uggs that use standard US sizes.
