    Customs are snidey little worms, they have well cottoned onto the cheap uggs.
  • Meanwhile, fashion victime continue to fall prey to Deckers advertising campaigns, and pay excessive prices for boots made from low quality skins.

    No doubt you can substantiate this "fact"?

    Yup! Simply take your Ugg Australia boots & compare side by side with a GENUINE AUSSIE pr! I did - & definitely consider my Jumbo Uggs to be better quality, both skin & workmanship - & the wool is softer & thicker. Check it out, then come back & tell me if you disagree!
  • 'Ugg' is a generic name - like baked beans or wellington boots! 'Ugg' is a totally Australian concept - Deckers is an American company who hijacked the Ugg name & have since tried to put the Aussie companies out of business.

    We established that way way back on this thread - please keep up.

    Personally, I wouldn't consider wearing Deckers 'Ugg Australia' brand as I prefer to show a bit more individuality (difficult I know as Uggs are Uggs, but I don't want to be tagged as an advertising victim!).

    You are wearing ugg boots - you are the same as the rest of us.

    You keep your label & I'll stick to GENUINE AUSTRALIAN UGGS!!!

    Thanks - we will.

    Well said Rotherham Lass!:T

    I have a pair of "GENUINE AUSTRALIAN UGGS" as you call them - I also have a pair of Tall Chocolate Ugg Australia boots from Hartings. The "GENUINE AUSTRALIAN UGGS" are lovely, very comfy and toasty warm, thanks very much.

    The Ugg Australia Uggs are like putting my feet in a cloud. Thick, lush and fantastic quality. So thanks for dismissing me as a fashion victim with no individuality (nice!) but who's the mug - you buy the same style of boot (how individual!) and also pay more than I did.

    So, how about you check that out, love!

    1. I've never heard of Hartings... I am comparing Ugg Australia (made in China) only to the Jumbo Uggs (made in Australia), which I personally think are far better quality.
    2. I don't have a website, so am unable to plug it!
    3. I think anyone who pays a high price for ANY goods made VERY cheaply in China, simply because they display the 'right' label, IS a fashion/advertising victim. As for individuality, why don't you read the words in brackets before responding with gratuitous insults!
    4. I didn't realise that voicing an opinion on this forum resulted in childish & ignorant abuse!

    I buy from a store in Camden which sell excellent quality Jumbo Uggs (from Oz) which are much thicker & softer than Deckers & also machine wash! I just bought a Tall Chocolate pr & checked them against Deckers - no contest! They were also cheaper than last year, only £120!!


    £120 for generic UGG style boots is very expensive in my experience!!! I would say you were ripped off at that price ;)

    Hartings are a very reputable NZ company and you can buy boots from them (Canterbury range) which are comparable to your Jumbo Uggs for just £75 delivered!!!

    I also recently bought some short Ugg style boots from another NZ company (Kiwi Sheepskins) which cost me just £26 delivered, and are far better quality than the "genuine" UGG's I bought from Aussie Direct! :D


    BTW, I'm so glad you found the link I previously posted for the Camden store useful ;)

    3. And the colour of the sky in your world is what colour?
    4. You voiced childish, ignorant and insulting opinions. We told you what we thought of them.
    Anything else I can help you with, or are you going to take your overpriced "GENERIC AUSTRALIAN UGGS" off for a nice little walk?
