UGG® is renowned for the luxurious comfort of twinface sheepskin and exceptional craftsmanship. Fake shoes and boots are made with dubious and inferior materials.
Please note: As we consistently update our styles and design concepts, we also modify our labels, outsoles, interior tags, and boxes. As part of these updates, many of our newer authentic UGG product may not have the registered ® trademark symbol.
