How can I check if my Uggs are real?

The #1 way to spot fake UGGs is to look at the badge on the back of the shoes.

Fakes often have their stitching and text at the wrong thickness.

1. Badge

• Authentic: Letters are perfectly filled with paint + stitches are shorter.
• Fake: Scratched letters + thinner stitches.

Is it too hard? Reach out to our UGG experts take a look at your boots:

2. Sole

• Authentic: Thicker logo.
• Fake: Thinner “UGG” logo.

3. Stitching

• Authentic: Thicker, denser threads.
• Fake: Thinner, less denser stitching.

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

4. Suede

• Authentic: When touched, suede leaves dark traces showing where it was toughed.
• Fake: Almost no darker spots — hence, the suede doesn’t move as it should.

5. Size tag

• Authentic: Constant thickness for all letters, numbers, and other characters.
• Fake: Totally wrong format.

6. Toe box

• Authentic: Toe box touches the ground in the very front of the boot.
• Fake: Toe box doesn’t make contact with the ground at all.
