Ugg Boots - Can Somebody Summarise?

Hi

I am currently looking at UGG boots, both those with the designer label & thoses available from Australia & NZ.

There is a thread open in the grab it quick section but it is in excess of 100 pages & it is getting a little confusing.

Is it possible that somebody could provide a brief summary of the best places to purchase both type of boots?

Many thanks.

    For the Ugg label that the stars wear you can try

    hartings
    rei.com
    cozyboots.com
    bootbarn

    if you are not label fussy,

    hartings do a range called canterbury which are a lot cheaper
    celtic sheepskin do nice quality stuff too, the are a uk company.

    Remember any orders from outside the uk 'can' be subject to customs charges, not all orders get charged but be aware that you could be and this is about £20 on top i ordered kids sizes as they are cheaper but they are still subject to vat due to them being made of sheepskin so they are chargeable, i have been lucky and only got charged on one order and i have had a few pairs delivered for friends.

    Hope this helps. :D

    Hi

    My daughter has been raving about these and are down on her christmas list.

    Just bought a pair of very similar design in TK Max near the trafford centre for under £20. They are one size too big but at the rate she grows they will fit for the winter.

    Will be at TK Max over the weekend so wil let you know if they have any more.

    regards.

    any idea which works out to be cheapest? That thread of 100 pages is amazing confusing. Sizing also appears to be all over the place depending on what site you look at using your list :(

    I am looking at bootbarn, and the size is listed as 7.0m - I hve no idea what that is, I want a UK 5!!
    You Gov: 2.50
    PigsBack: £14.12
    Ipoints: 900 points 4 cd's 2007
    Quidco: £64.00
    £2 Savers: £12
    Loose Change Pig: £40

    I would email them for advice, as the womens run in W6 etc, i ordered a mens pair they were an 11m.

    The boots in tk maxx are called emu boots they are good value, they are leather uppers but are not sheepskin lined if this is what you want.

    Canterbury boots are the cheapest and closest looking to ugg australia, if you want the label then you are going to risk customs as hartings are out of stock. I'm trying to find a tall chestnut for somebody but its hard this time of year. :rolleyes:

    Hi, the 7.0m is a UK 5, the 'm' denotes regular width, it's nothing to do with male or female (have a look on their sizing help chart). However, everywhere I've looked states that the sizes are generous. My wife is a UK 5 but she's gone with the 6.0m instead of the 7.0m from Bootbarn. It's also worth considering that sheepskin is going to stretch with use. I used the 'WESTERN' discount voucher code and managed to get the Tall Classic Boots for $162.49 delivered (£78.60). I expect to pay around £25 customs charges which wil take them to just over £100 - £70 less than the high street (£100 cheaper than one shop I saw in the Trafford centre last Friday!). Hope this helps.
