Knock Off Ugg Boots

There are many ways to spot knock off Ugg boots. With the popularity of these sheepskin boots growing, many are replicating Uggs and claiming to be the real deal.

Can you spot a fake?

Uggs are boots made from sheepskin and wool. Their appeal is that they are extremely comfortable and keep your feet warm without making them sweat. Uggs can be worn in a variety of ways, from casual to dress. They look great with a pair of jeans and also look fashionable when worn with a skirt. They are fun for people of all ages and genders and have endless possibilities which adds to their appeal. The downside to Uggs is their high price tag. Uggs are not cheap; they cost around $100 a pair. Due to their price tag and high demand, there are many knock off Ugg boots hitting the market.

Real Uggs have some common traits to look for:

• Sheepskin lining that is a creamy beige color
• Authentic Uggs run a full size bigger
• Uggs company logo is on the bottom of all soles
• Packaging is unique in that the box has a flip-top lid with an orange sunburst logo on it
• Care booklet and insert is included in every box of Uggs you purchase

There are several ways to spot imitation Uggs. Some knock offs are very close replicas of the real deal but by knowing what to look for you can avoid purchasing a pair of fake Uggs. Pay close attention to the following:

1. Price – Remember real Uggs are not cheap. If the price is too good to be true, they are probably fakes.
2. Fur – Uggs are made from real sheepskin. The lining is very soft and creamy beige in color. If the fur is off-colored or fluffier in texture, it is not authentic sheepskin and not a real pair of Uggs.
3. Tag – If the stitching or print on the tag is uneven or misprinted, they are fake Uggs.
4. Size - Real Uggs run a full size bigger than normal. Many fakes are cut shorter or true to size.
5. Purchase location – There are many reputable Uggs retailers in existence. Be careful when purchasing online at sites such as eBay since there are many fakes out there. Be sure to purchase from reputable sellers and get as much information as possible before making your purchase.

Other indicators that the Uggs are impostors are details such as the soles being rigid instead of soft and flexible, what comes in the packaging and the overall color of the boots. Be a smart shopper and always do your research before purchasing an item.

Not everyone is able to own a pair of Uggs. If the price is too high for you, this doesn't mean there are not sheepskin boot alternatives for you to consider. Many boot and shoe manufacturers make legal replicas of the famous Uggs boots. Almost any shoe store you walk into will have a version available. Many are affordable, comfortable and will keep your feet warm while giving you the stylish look of Uggs.

Uggs are on the most popular brands of sheepskin boots. Many continue to sell knock off versions online and in person. This practice is illegal. Be aware of what you are purchasing and always buy from a reputable seller.
