Hi Ladies,
For a while i was thinking about saving up for some UGG Kensington Boots (you know, the Leather Biker-style ones?).
They cost £250 :eek: [from Cloggs or Office] and it seemed no other UK shop stocked them or sold them any cheaper, so i decided to have a look on the American sites.

Then came across this US website - Shoe-Store.net which seemed to stock all the new style Uggs and colours http://www.shoe-store.net/c/brands/id/185/womens/ugg.html plus they shipped internationally, which helps. ;)

I enquired about the Toast Kensington's but they didn't have my size in stock at the time. But the very friendly guy i emailed - (Korey), said he'd order them for me directly from UGG Australia if i didn't mind waiting.

Well girl's, they turned up today [only after a couple of weeks] and i'm so chuffed with them. They're fabulous and i can't believe i managed to save £90!:j

They cost me $199 plus $28 shipping (approx. £140) plus customs fees - and they still cost me a lot less than buying them over here.

If i had a question about my order, my emails were answered very promptly and i can't fault the service at all.
This is one very happy customer.

    Thanks

    Hi, they are definitely the real thing and the site is an authorised UGG retailer.
    If you go to the UGG Australia website (link below) and put the companies postcode (zip code) in the search, you should find it listed.

    If you go to the Ugg Australia website that will tell you which retailers are authorised to sell Uggs, either online or in stores. I think it also has a black list of known fake suppliers.

    Might be worth checking there first before shelling out a couple of hundred £s?
  • Any clues with the sizing?

    The regular Sheepskin Classic Uggs do come up slightly bigger.

    I've got a classic pair which are a US 7 (UK 5) but i take a UK 6......so with those you have to go down in size as Uggs are meant to fit quite snuggly.

    If your wife is a UK 5, i'd suggest ordering a US 6.
  • :rotfl:Ok, thanks for that.
  • UPDATE :T

    Just did some digging and found a 10% coupon from Korey(the site owner) posted on another forum

    Just add shoeblog at check out.
    Hope this helps you all

    Show me the thanks if you feel like it:cool:

  • Can someone please explain the difference between Ugg boots and Emu boots?
    Or is it just brand and price -so you're essentially paying more for the Ugg name.

    if they send the uggs to you via courier you will end up with a customs bill! I bought some tops from USA for £36 including shipping and ended up with a bill for duty, VAT and handling charged of almost £30!
