Keys to know if UGG boots are authentic or fake
Unfortunately, it is increasingly common to see imitations of the main sneaker brands on the market. What at first may seem like a bargain, always ends up being a waste of money and even a source of physical problems.
Below, we leave you some keys to know if the UGG boots you buy are fake, but first we recommend you read our recommendations on best UGG boots for winter:
Back label
All original UGG boots have, on the back, a small sewn-in label with the brand emblem. Make sure that both the embroidery and the corporate image are spotless.
Materials
The quality of UGG is obvious... and to the touch. They are made with sheepskin on the outside and with a wool lining inside. You should only notice the difference by running your hand over it, this being one of the most important aspects to know if we are dealing with a copy or not.
Stitching
Another of the basic aspects is the quality of the stitching. When we are faced with top-level footwear, these must be clean, with an extremely precise arrangement. Something that does not happen with fakes which also tend to come apart after a few days of use.
Packaging
Like all major quality footwear brands, the boots UGG takes care of every detail, including its packaging and box. Check that it matches the model, includes the serial number, and meets the expected aesthetics of such a seal.
Price
Don't fool yourself, there are sales, yes, but if you find products of this type with strangely low prices, most likely you are facing a counterfeit. Quality materials, design, and flawless production come at a cost, so be wary of bargains or big discounts.
Hologram
For some years now, the UGG brand has included next to the size tag, a hologram which replaces the previous QR code. Something difficult to reproduce and usually a guarantee of authenticity.
Commerce
Don't buy just anywhere, especially if you do it online. Only stores like Newcop they can offer guarantees that you are dealing with original brands. Check the policies, warranties, images, or that the address and contact are real.
Reviews
If you still have doubts about their origin, check the comments and user reviews, whether on Google or social media. No matter how many followers they have or how beautiful their website is, if they have no comments or all are positive, they might be deceiving you.
Never on the street
The chances of finding New UGGs at a flea market or at a street stall, are minimal. In fact, UGG carefully selects the locations where it sells its boots, and many stores cannot even sell them legally.
Smell
Finally, you have surely noticed that imitation sneakers or footwear usually have strong odors and even unpleasant. This is because cheap chemicals are used to save costs, something that would not happen with original UGGs.
Difference between UGG and UGG Australia
Finally, we are going to explain a point that is often confused as a sign of counterfeiting. Although the name UGG is directly associated with this sneaker brand, the reality is that originates in Australia, where it was used to refer generically to the product itself.
That is, a type of boot made with sheepskin that mountaineers used to protect themselves from the cold.
However, the American company Deckers Outdoor Corporation registered that name as a trademark in the seventies, causing various debates and even conflicts within the Oceanic country itself.
In any case, we are talking about a brand that is one of the most beloved by sneakerheads for the winter months and in Newcop we have their most interesting models.
