    Well, it is your money. If you want to take the 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance that Deckers have suddenly started to let fake websites registered in China sell real boots at a large discount. Perhaps you should buy some then report back here, so that we can all see whether they are better than the Primark copies or not.

    Seriously, stay away from random sites like this. Chec
    k the authorised list as posted by
    b1505 above and only buy from those if you want real Uggs (as made by Deckers) - If you are happy with fakes, spend £8 on a pair in Primark.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.
  • Thank you Browntoa and b1505.

    Stumpy, I was only asking a question. I think it was an intelligent and good point that I made that the products are made in China, and what's wrong with a Chinese registered site.

    I have no clue about random sites and the fact that where they are registered has anything to do with whether they are fake or not, hence why I posted on this site. And, no I am not happy with fakes, again the reason why I posted on this site?

    This might be an unintelligent question to you guys, but I was wondering (and please no sarcastic replies, because I genuinely don't know), why hasn't such site been reported to Deckers?

    Why the problem with a Chinese site? Because Deckers don't sell through them and the vast majority of fakes come from there. The place of manufacture has nothing to do with it. UGGs + Chinese Website = FAKE.

    It probably has been reported, but these sites take time to take down and the authorities in China have no incentive to do so quickly, this is why Deckers has a list of authorised sites and specific rules on what a site can call itself and show on its home page before they will be authorised.
    This is all documented and easily discoverable on UggAustralia.com. There are also countless references to this fact in this thread; in fact probably 1 in 10 of the posts here point out these links for everyone to see and try for themselves. It really isn't that difficult.

    Anyone paying attention to the contents of this thread should be able to figure out whether a site is selling fake Uggs or not almost instantly.
    • 99.999% of the time if it isn't on the authorised seller list they are FAKE.
    • 99.999% of the time if they are offering large discounts compared with authorised sellers they are FAKE.
    • 99.999% of the time if you need to ask the question whether or not they are fake then the answer is FAKE.
    If you want to go for the 0.001% long shot be my guest, but at least try reading some of the thread first because the answers to your questions are here.
    And try to do it before you post a link to dubious site here or anywhere else as this ups its Google hit count and tempts other naive users who may find it in a search to try it out and waste their money too.
    Posting it here as you have is simply more promotion for these fake sites. Whether you realise this or not, it is, and would not have been necessary if you had read the previous posts.

    More to the point they also host a site called 51.la which distributes malicious software.

    https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/51.la

    The fact is Chinese scammers create thousands, that's right THOUSANDS, of sites every week selling counterfeit products including Uggs.

    Deckers are continually having sites shut down but, like King Canute found a few years ago, some things are unstoppable.

    You could get the browser add-on Web of Trust and keep an eye on website ratings.

    http://www.mywot.com/

    Or you can check out a site's Domain Registration:

    http://who.is/

    The most common sense approach though is that if a website has no contact address and phone number then don't use it. It's a simple as that.

    No efrieze. It's a Chinese website. Not only is everything on there counterfeit but they also host a site called cnzz.com which engages in browser and operating system exploits.

    http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/uggbootsstore-uk.com

    https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/cnzz.com

    If you've visited that website I would advise you to run an anti virus scan of your computer to be on the safe side.

    Otherwise follow the advice I've just given to easy_tiger.
  • Hi everyone!

    Im fairly new on here and looking for some genuine uggs for my birthday Iv looked on the official ugg site and I really would like Ugg bailey's in chestnut and noticed they do these in childrens sizes upto 5, I fit in 4 or size 5 shoes depending on the fit, does anyone know if the kids sizes come up any smaller than womens as they are £70 cheaper so if there the same as womens surely I would be as well to get them and save money.

    Also does anyone know of any other sites that sell these boots any cheaper but genuine? I would also like to pay through paypal if possible do you know of any sites that accept this method of payment?

    Thanks

    I don't know this for sure but know with other brands (eg fitflops) there is a difference between kids and adult sizes, some times it can be the width- kids shoes being a little bit shorter but a bit wider to compensate but again, this is other brands and may not apply to Uggs. I'd go and try them on in a store first just to save yourself the headache of worry if you do choose to order a kids over adults pair.

    I'm having a right nightmare with UGG/EMU boots.

    I'm a ladies UK size 2 (EU 35) and finding the right size seems to be totally beyond me!

    I've looked at all the sizing charts, measured my feet as directed but the sizings just don't seem to be true.

    I really wanted some UGG Kensington in Olive Green but they start at UK 3.5 and after trying a pair on in Schuh last week, I've decided that they are just too big so I started looking at kids sizes.

    Unfortunately they only do kids in black or toast, so I tried a pair of kids size 2 and they were too big!

    Size 1 is fine - but I've not yet decided if I want to pay £150 for them.
    I can't find anywhere that does them cheaper.

    I also ordered a pair of EMU Hi Stingers kids Size UK 2 - again using their sizing chart (this equates to EU size 35 foot length 21.6 cm, my feet measure 22cm so I was a bit worried about them being too small) but when they arrived they were massive.
    I could get my hand down between my heel and the back of the boot.

    So, thanks to a very obliging on-line retailer, they've gone back and I've re-ordered size UK 1 which is EU 33/34.
    They should arrive tomorrow so fingers crossed they'll fit OK.

    How on earth does anybody else manage to get the right size?

    I'd be very wary of buying UGG boots on-line unless you've tried the same design on in a shop.
    I found there was a difference in sizing depending on the design.
    For example - Rommy, BelleVue and Cove styles seemed more true to size than the Kensington & Classics.

    I personally think kids' sizes come up bigger - I reckon (although it's hard to be sure as I tried them on in different shops on different days) that the womens UK 3.5 are similar in size to kids size 2.

    I've bought UGG kids UK size 1 (US size 2) and EMU kids UK size 1 (US size 2) - I'm a ladies UK size 2 (EU 35).

    Look at post #844 for a link to the genuine UGG website giving details of authorised on-line UGG dealers.
