The question of determining the originality of this type of shoe remains relevant today. Warm and practical, Ugg boots have long been firmly established in the everyday life of modern people of different ages and genders. And a thing that is in demand will certainly be counterfeited.
Methods for determining authenticity
The buyer can best distinguish genuine UGG boots by the sole, inner fur and single layer, packaging, as well as the price of the product. Let's look at each feature of the choice in more detail.
Sole
If you look closely at the sole of the shoe, you will notice that it is not endowed with shine, since it has a matte structure. In real boots it bends well, but in fake boots it feels rough to the touch. It will not be superfluous to measure the thickness of the foot: for the original it will be 13 mm, for the surrogate it is often quite thin - up to 7 mm. The authentic product from the traditional collection has a raised image on the sole with the UGG® symbol, while the dupes are sold with a thin sole.The original product has a smooth transition from the smooth heel to the embossed sole; on the fake, a solid line is clearly visible.
Inner fur, single layer
It is important to know that the inside of genuine boots contains sheepskin fur, which is fluffy, dense and has a delicate cream color, and in light-colored examples it cannot be dyed at all. In imitation, piece fur is used - grayish or white, much thinner than the original. Carry out a small experiment - rub the fur insert, it will begin to crumble on the blende. When you smell a coloring component for synthetic products, you can be sure that this is a fake, which is sold with counterfeit filling. The fur insert on the inside of the shaft of genuine Ugg boots matches the overall color palette of the boots, while the sheepskin on the insole is an exceptionally light color.
Original UGG boots are sold only in single layers. Try to pinch the inner fur with one hand and the outer skin with the other, and begin to stretch in different directions. If you find that they diverge, then know that this is a scam. The original is created from sheepskin, which is an inseparable layer, but has both sides - a leather insert and fur filling. Plagiarisms come with multiple layers that are stitched together.
Package
The box with the product comes with an original lid and UGG® Australia engraving; if you place it in front of the sun's rays, it will be clearly visible. The official resource of the company is written on the side of the cover. Pay attention to the hologram sticker, it will help you verify the originality of the product.The sun image changes from light to dark depending on how the light hits it. UGG boots are packaged in special bags made of material that biodegrades over time, and the picture on the box is colored.
Price
Original Uggs have a price of at least $200. Artificial boots are somewhat cheaper, and most often they are simply sold on “promotion” with huge discounts.
What else to pay attention to
It’s a good idea to pay attention to labels or emblems. The deception is recognized by the bold and large font on the overlay on the heel side. On genuine patches, the “®” symbol is located directly in front of the breaking area between the upper and lower G symbol, while on fakes it is placed closer to the top mark of the letter G. The emblem on the originals always consists of the UGG Australia badge with a special sun and the UGG mark.
