Default Help...Ugg boots

Hello,

My Niece (who is 15) wants a pair of Ugg boots (midi or mini) in size 5 and black.

Now...?

Where do I get them from, and how do I know they are not blag (not the real deal).

I would much prefer to get them from abroad/internet sales rather than pop into "Cricket" and pay £170+ for them.

I have visited various sites that had the item, but didnt ship to the UK.

There are loads of cheap one on that site, but I belive they are not the real deal, and if I get the blags ones she will know and not wear them.

Where are these brands originated from?

Can I buy direct from them ?

She is paying half with her Saturday wages, she knows the value of money, so she is really wanting these boots.

HELP

Thanks

PS. Mentioned this in work, and one of the lads called the boots FMB's...what the heck is that? I obviously just nodded and said "yeah thats them"..as if I knew what he was on about.

Have a look here Official UGG Australia Site ? UGG Boots, Slippers, Sandals, and Casuals including Women's Boots, Sheepskin Boots, Men's Boots, Espadrilles and Wedges

This is the UK site

BTW, with the best will in the world UGG boots cannot ever be described as FMBs. IMO of course

Uug boots always remind me of my dead grans boots she never used to take off! My 14 year old daughter has a pair and i can't stop laughing at her and calling her a granny!

I looked for my daughter about a year ago. Found some reasonable and genuine sites in Oz who ship. Daughter then told me they were no longer fashionable (and that was a year ago!) so end of search. dl

UGG boots are only designed to be worn indoors..... no idea why people really want to splash a fortune on a pair of slippers which they wear outdoors.......

Other that try kelkoo and sites like that which do price comparisons.

It's called fashion..........

I take it you don't have a teenage daughter?

Logic/common sense goes out the window.

Cloggs.co.uk

Enter promotional code ABN7 for 5% discount at checkout.

At least on this site they are genuine, despatched ultra fast and in the UK so she wouldn't be waiting weeks for them to arrive.

Good luck.

My wife orderd some from the UGG site and got them shipped to the US as it was much cheaper. They are a bit too big so have never been used but I think they are a size 7 chocolate high ones.
If anyone want's to make me an offer PM me. She still has the invoice and email from UGG.

Thanks for the advice.

It transpires that she actually WANTS to buy them from Cricket, so she can get a Cricket bag ......The fact that they are twice the price in this shop than in Clogg as mentioned above cuts no ice.

She thinks £170 is alot for boots, but she also thinks that £1250 for a set of wheels and tyres is alot too...What can you say?

Later Yoza

Note: Never try to reason with a teenage girl, she will win everytime, she wants to work as a COSO, Ive just told here she should be looking into being a Judge.

Know somewhere that is selling genuine ones via mail order at £75 delivered let me know and can PM you the chaps details.

nip into the shop next time your passing and ask for a carrier bag and shove the £75 boots in them, she will be none the wiser !!!
