    The fakers are getting really good! Its no wonder people are taken in quite honestly. My friend at work showed me her new chocolate Bailey Buttons, and told me her mum got them from a website for £120, cue little alarm in my head;) They are bloody good fakes, you would really have to know what you are looking for to spot them. I said i wasnt 100% sure if they were real, couple of niggling doubts. Came home and looked at my Baileys and unfortunately she definitely has fakes. She said she doesnt mind having fakes, which maybe neither would i if i had only paid £30 or so. But £120 for fakes:eek:

    Want to know what to look out for.

    They had the wrong colour ugg label on the back of the heel, on chocolate baileys it should be brown but hers was cream. Didnt tell her that though as i wasnt sure until i checked the UA website to see what colour it should be. The label inside was stitched and said 'patent pending short classic' which of course there werent. The new labels are printed not stitched and it should obviously have said Bailey Button. Material seemed a bit thinner too but difficult to tell when i didnt have my ones there to compare them to as i was wearing my classics

    Yeah, I had a pair of fakes and the only way you could tell the difference was to compare them to the real thing. The material felt thinner, the soles where not as flexible and the 'sheepskin' was either fake or poor quality as bits would fall out. Visually - labels etc they where perfect.

    Can I ask a question - I'm a bog standard size 5 UK. What size do I need to buy in Uggs (from the Deckers website)? Do they stretch or are they snug?

    I'm a 7 and I bought 7.5 - they are still quite snug on me.

    Thanks for answering. Looks like I'll need to go up a half size then.
