Top-level comments on this article: (5 total)what color should the ugg label b on the back of a real classic tall black uggIt should be black, but could be white. If it is tan or brown, then it is fake...No the brown ones with the white labels are not fake because mine are white and i got them from Selfridges & Co. The ones I got are the new collection.
IDK if mine are fake b/c some of the things listed above are correct with my boots and some are not.
A really useful guide for those not familiar with authentic Ugg Australia boots.Clear indicators in what to avoid and what to look for. Easy to follow and remember!Excellent, thank you!
I have the chestnut short uggs. The fur doesn't come out, the stiching iss fine. The only thing that makes it seem fake is that the inside fur is brown. But everything else under the authentic ugg section fit my boots. Are they real? Is it possible?
What about dust/dye particles coming off the surface of the ugg boots?? The chocolate ugg boots I just purchased meet all of the authentic characteristics but this one, what are your thoughts??
