We know and love Uggs well, because they are so warm. Ugg's day is a synonym for fluffy winter with its creaking snow and frost.
How and where to buy real ugg boots, not fakes? What do the original ugg boots look like, what are they good for and what do you wear them with? We will answer these and other questions about ugg boots in this article.
Features
Ugg boots are fur boots made of fur. This is a sheepskin. The fur is inside the boots, and the outside is smooth. Can be with fur lapels.
Such shoes have been known since time immemorial. The most commonly mentioned hunters, shepherds and farmers from Australia who wore such shoes. And during the First and Second World Wars, Uggs fell in love with the pilots. But their ugg boots were a little different from the original - at times boots were sewn for them with fur outside.
Nowadays, one company - UGG® Australia - is the market leader in the production of these boots. Ugg boots are sewn only from natural fur; no synthetics can be mentioned. Sew them from a sheepskin.
Real uggs can be worn barefoot because the natural fur is inside. The foot in such shoes does not sweat. In addition, the original ugg boots tend to stretch over the leg.
How to check the originality?
So, before us is the treasured uggs.
We want to purchase them and hope for the quality and name of the company. How to distinguish real ugg from a fake? There are many factors that must be considered in order not to run into a fake. Let's go in order.
- Yes, there is a country in the name of the company - Australia. And often, many people think that they sew them there. No, it is not. For a long time, the production of this brand is located in China and Vietnam. Therefore, it will be written on the tag - MADE IN CHINA or MADE IN VIETNAM. Therefore, be careful! If any other country is written, then this is a fake. True, there is one exception: the ULTRA series of this brand is sewn in New Zealand.
- Look at the fur. There should be sheepskin fur in front of you.Only him! Moreover, the sheepskin of the best quality is very thick, uniform, without bald spots and irregularities.
Now about the color. If you have a light model, then the fur is not painted, it has a natural light beige color. If the model is in dark color or some other (color), then the fur will be the same color as the top of the boots. Original ugg boots have just a few colors. The choice is not so diverse, unlike fakes, for example.
Please note that fakes have faux fur inside and natural suede on the outside. It's a fake copy.
Another important fact! Whatever color the uggs are (light, black, colored), their insole is always the same color - cream. And also from a sheepskin.
Another trick. The skin from which ugg boots are sewn is one, that is, it is one layer, not two. With one hand, grab the fur from the inside, and with the other, grasp the smooth part of the boot and pull it in different directions. What did you find? Two layers or one?
- Now about the sole. How to determine which sole they have? She is very flexible. You can easily bend the sole almost in half, it will spring. At the sole there is a company logo, which is placed in a special pattern resembling the sun (see photo). Outsole thickness not less than 13 mm. In fakes, it is much lower. The sole is always in the color of the top.
- Smell. Real uggs smell like leather, fur. A fake can smell anything. It could be some kind of foul chemical smell or glue smell.
- Bags, tags. Please remember that real uggs never have any bags. Tag too. Therefore, if in a box you find a bag with an allegedly branded logo of the brand - this is definitely a fake.
- Heel. Yes, do not be surprised. This is one of the indicators of quality. Put on your uggs. If they sat like a glove, that is, the heel is in place, it fixes your leg, nothing hangs anywhere, which means it is not a fake. In the opposite case, when trying on, you will feel something wrong, inconvenience. The heel can be narrow, and in the ankle, on the contrary, wide.
- Size chart. You will have to take real ugg boots one size smaller than your usual, as they are larger.
- Box. Uggs are always packed in a bag, and then in a box. The package is special. It is with company logos. In addition, it is biodegradable. See how the original box looks on the side (see photo). The model on the box is always in color. And the upper part of the barcode is red. There is also a hologram with the company logo on the box.
In the box itself you will find two cards. One will be grateful that you bought the shoes of this company. And in the second in English and French, information on how to distinguish a fake by a hologram.
- Internal shortcuts. Please note that the company sews into the left boot, into the inner seam, a label with the size and material of which the shoes are made. Or, such a label can be again on the left boot, but on the sole (see photo).
- Visual inspection Put the boot sideways to you and look at his nose. If it is pointed, there is a fake in front of you. Real boots never have a sharp nose, it goes in a smooth line.
Look at the seams as they are processed. Of course, there should not be any protruding threads, as well as bald spots. The seams should be smooth, clear.
And the last one. Real ugg boots are never called Snow Boots. If you saw such an inscription on the box, this is a fake.
How much are?
You understand that real fur shoes can not be cheap.
There will be no original for you, not for four thousand rubles, nor for five. This is all fake. The price tag starts from ten thousand rubles and above. But again, be vigilant. You need to look at everything to figure out what's in front of you. Sometimes it happens that a fake is not bad in general. But still it's a fake. Do you need this? Choose for yourself.
What to wear?
Since such boots are always striking, it means that they dictate the style of clothing that suits them. They fit a lot, but not a classic costume.
What can I wear? Of course, these are jeans in different versions, but not flared.Skinny jeans are worn in ugg boots.
Tucked jeans with uggs look good. There is nothing wrong with this, because we know that these shoes can be worn on a bare foot, even without a sock. If the ugg boots are real, the leg will not sweat in them.
From above, you can wear a wide sweater, and a jacket, a fur vest or a short fur coat.
Is it worn with a dress? Why not? It is quite appropriate. Short dresses made of dense materials are perfect. But longer dresses, for example, ankle-deep, to ugg boots will not fit unambiguously.
With leggings, ugg boots look great too. Especially if you are the owner of slender long legs. From above you can wear a voluminous knitted sweater dress or a smooth sweater, from under which a shirt sticks out. Stylish.
Details are important. In the image, everything should be harmonious. If we are wearing clothes of all kinds of colors, this hardly speaks of taste. Therefore, you need to be able to correctly combine colors in one ensemble.
For example, you put on red uggs. They themselves already attract attention, so this is a clear accent in clothes. Therefore, the rest of the clothes should be calm tones - white, black, brown, beige, blue. For example, ugg boots can be combined with something red - a scarf, a handbag, some red element in clothes. Look at the photo. Here are options for clothing with red uggs.
Please note that these ugg boots are designed for cold, frosty winters. It’s good to walk in dense snow. They are not intended for slush, they will immediately get wet. Therefore, ugg boots with a fur coat - ideal for winter. But a long coat will not fit such shoes, like a classic coat. Different styles. Inappropriate.
Short sheepskin coats, sports jackets, short fur coats, voluminous coats are suitable for uggs.
Be careful with accessories, as there are limitations. A small clutch bag or a classic-style bag is definitely not a pair of ugg boots. But a bulk bag or a sports bag will do. Volume scarves or stoles, mittens, and not gloves, are great for uggs. In a word, everything that we associate with this winter.
True, now there are different versions of these boots. They can be lightweight and even suitable for cool summers.
There are even knitted ones. There are all kinds of colors and shades. There are short and long. With and without edge.
Therefore, if you like these shoes, you have plenty to choose from. We told how not to run into a fake, how to navigate what is offered to you. Now you can figure it out on your own. And we wish you a good shopping! Wear ugg boots with pleasure!
