Uggs, we know and love, because they are so warm. Uggs Day is synonymous with a fluffy winter with its creaking snow and frost.
How and where to buy real ugg boots, not fake? What do uggs look like, what are they good for and what to wear them with? We will answer these and other questions about uggs in this article.
Features
Uggs are fur boots made of fur. This is sheepskin. The fur inside the boots, and the outside is smooth. May be with fur lapels.
Such shoes are known from time immemorial. The most commonly mentioned are 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 - sometimes for them boots were sewn with fur outside.
Nowadays, one company - UGG® Australia - the leader in the market for the production of these boots. Uggs are made only from natural fur, no synthetics can be in sight. Sew them out of sheepskin.
These uggs can be worn on bare feet, because the natural fur inside. The foot in such shoes does not sweat. In addition, the original uggs tend to stretch along the leg.
How to check originality?
So, before us treasured uggs.
We want to purchase them and hope for the quality and name of the company. How to distinguish real ugg boots from a fake? There are many factors that must be considered in order not to run into a fake. Let's take it 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 in China and in Vietnam. Therefore, the label will be so written - MADE IN CHINA or MADE IN VIETNAM. So beware! If any other country is written, it means that you have a fake. True, there is one exception: the ULTRA series of this brand is sewn in New Zealand.
- Look at the fur. Before you should be sheepskin fur. Only he! And the best quality sheepskin is very thick, homogeneous, without bald spots and irregularities.
Now about the color. If you have a light model in front of you, then the fur is not painted, it has a natural light beige color. If the model is in a dark color or some other color (color), then the fur will be the same color as the top of the boots. Original uggs have only a few colors. The choice is not so diverse, unlike fakes, for example.
Please note that the fake inside is faux fur, and outside can be natural suede. It's a fake copy.
Another important fact! Whatever the color of uggs (light, black, colored), the insole is always the same color - cream. And also from sheepskin.
Another trick. The skin from which the ugg boots are sewn is one, that is, it is one layer, not two. With one hand grab the fur from the inside, and the second grasp the smooth part of the boot and pull in different directions. What was discovered? Two layers or one?
- Now about the sole. How to determine what their sole? She is very flexible. You can easily almost bend the sole in half, it will spring. On the sole there is a company logo, which is placed in a special pattern that resembles the sun (see photo). Sole thickness not less than 13 mm. In fakes, it is much lower. The sole is always the color of the top.
- Smell. These uggs smell like leather, fur. Fake can smell anything. This may be some kind of unpleasant chemical smell or the smell of glue.
- Bags, tags. Please remember that the real ugg never has any bags. Tags too. Therefore, if in the box you find a bag with a supposedly branded brand logo - it is definitely a fake.
- Heel. Yes, do not be surprised. This is one of the indicators of quality. Wear uggs.If they sat down like a glove, that is, the heel is in place, fixes your leg, does not dangle anywhere, then this is not a fake. In the opposite case, when you try on, you will feel something wrong, inconvenience. The heel may be narrow, and in the ankle, on the contrary, widely.
- Size chart. These uggs you have to take on a size smaller than your normal, because they are more than the size
- 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 from the side (see photo). The model on the box is always in color. And the top of the barcode is red. Immediately, on the box, there is a hologram with the logo of the company.
In the box you will find two cards. One will be grateful for the fact that you bought the shoes of this company. And on the second in English and French information, how to distinguish a fake from a hologram.
- Internal shortcuts. Please note that the company sews in the left boot, in the inner seam, a label with the size and material of which the shoes are made. Or such a label may be again on the left boot, but on the sole (see photo).
- Visual inspection. Put the boot to the side and look at his nose. If it is pointed, before you fake. These boots never have a sharp nose, it goes smoothly.
Look at the seams, how they are treated. Of course, there should be no protruding threads, like bald spots. The seams should be smooth, clear.
And the last. These uggs are never called Snow Boots. If you see such an inscription on the box, it is fake.
How much are?
You understand that real fur shoes can not be cheap.
You will not be the original or four thousand rubles, or five. It's all fake. The price tag starts from ten thousand rubles and above. But again, beware. We must look at everything to figure out what is in front of you. Sometimes it happens that the 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 clothes to which they fit. They fit a lot, but not a classic suit.
What can you wear? Of course, these are jeans in different versions, but not flared. Skinny jeans are tucked into uggs.
Look good tucked jeans with uggs. There is nothing wrong with that, because we know that these shoes can be worn on bare feet, even without a sock. If the ugg boots are real, the leg won't sweat in them.
From above you can wear a wide sweater, and a jacket, fur vest or short fur coat.
Do they wear with a dress? Why not? It is appropriate. Perfectly fit short dresses from dense materials. But longer dresses, for example ankle-deep, will definitely not be suitable for ugg boots.
With leggings uggs 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 sleek sweater, from which a shirt sticks out. Stylish.
Details are important. In the image everything should be harmonious. If we wear clothes of all kinds of colors, it hardly speaks of taste. Therefore, we must be able to correctly combine colors in one ensemble.
For example, you put on red uggs. They themselves already attract attention, so this is an obvious accent in clothes. Therefore, the rest of the clothes should be calm tones - white, black, brown, beige, blue. For example, uggs can be combined with something red - a scarf, a handbag, some red element in clothes. Look at the photo. Here are the options for clothes with red uggs.
Please note that these uggs are designed for cold, frosty winters. They walk well in dense snow. For the slush they are not intended, immediately get wet. Therefore, uggs with a fur coat - ideal for winter. But a long coat to such shoes does not fit, 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 not exactly a pair to ugg. But the bulk bag or sport fit. Excellent for uggam volley scarves or stoles, mittens, not gloves. In short, everything that we associate with this winter.
True, now there are different versions of these boots. They can be lightweight and suitable even for a cool summer.
There are even knitted. There are all sorts 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 you are offered. Now you can figure it out on your own. And we wish you a good shopping! Wear uggs with pleasure!
