I was given a genuine pair and bought myself a £10 snidey pair as winter slippers and I genuinely cannot tell the difference other than the colour & lack of label on the snides.

Absolutely no difference at all in quality appearance of functionality.


I absolutely hate them though, the gifted pair were a waste of money but my £10 pair are great for keeping feet and leg warm. Would dream of wearing them outside.

I dont want to turn in to one of those feet dragging lopside footed chavs you see mushing about in them.

Of course not all wearers fit the above.

From my very limited understanding of these boots, it is the bampy-snide versions that make you look like your feet are on back to front when they collapse.

Saying that though, i got a message from my mate yesterday who told me he was sitting on the bus with a bird who apparently did have hers on the wrong feet

I'd suggest you have two sets of fakes as Ugg Australia boots are far superior. My wife has a pair and like mentioned before my mate sold literally hundreds of pairs of fakes (although due to copyright, it is not illegal as Ugg is not a brand) So i've seen the difference

Please everyone, the real ones do not collapse, they support the foot well because they are made of real sheepskin which is really thick and fluffy inside. You're told to buy them a size smaller than usual because they need to be snug.

They will not be made of the same material, UGG Australia genuine boots are made of sheepskin, so not going to get those for a fiver!

Er no, 1 very very genuine pair with receipt from an authorised retail shop.

And one pair bought for £10 in the Office sale last year.

They do make ever so toasty slippers, I have mine on now with my pjs tucked in to the tops.

Totally agree with the comment about not needing socks though. Toasty toes FTW

Might be different because both of mine are the knitted styles and not the usual booty style.

Well now the firm look to have sent the boots to different address.
They said they will refund my money but in 30 days time. I asked them how much were they were going to refund me and the conversation went dead. So I just had quick chat with my credit card company who agreed to claim my money back.
So glad I paid on my credit card.

Lesson learnt - do not buy stuff from a website provided by the mrs!

Although this didn't stop me from having a little bit of payback. I play Sabine!
