Fake Ugg Boots website?
Discussion
It's one of those again....
MIL has sent my wife a link to this site
http://www.classicbootonsale.co
MIL has already bought a pair, couldn't resist a £200 pair of boots for £40 and who can blame her right?
My wife showed it to me and alarm bells rang
Classicboot not boots
The 'about us' page is copied from a completely different site
Their support email address is a gmail.com address.
No numbers to contact them.
And of course, £200 boots for £40. I fear MIL has been ripped off and luckily my wife looked a bit further into it!
So is it a case of 'if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck' here??

Cheers, the site with a .com comes up but not the .co but I think it's quite conclusive!

Tell her to feel free to waste her money on fake goods which will probably never turn up.

My wife has had a few fake pairs and they have been fine. She really wanted a pair of genuine ones and i fianlly relented and ordered some at about £150. That wasn't the end of it though, they needed to be treated with a special Ugg weather proofer which alone cost as much as a pair of fake boots.
The big day finally came when she could wear them outside, and with in 10 minutes they split down the back!!! Ugg of course replaced them, but we now needed to purchase the proofing kit again
This pair lasted a few months until she got some crap on them. Trying to clean it off wore the finish off the boot, so they were now ruined.
The fake ones are still going strong.

On the other hand, my wife has a pair of the Genuine ones that she has had for years and they get used a lot and they have lasted very well. Butter Face said:

I'm sure the 'fake' ones aren't actually all that bad, but she'd rather buy a decent set of boots without a label than 'fake' anything.

The fake ones are pretty shoddy when you look at the finishing. They might last a year or they might last three months and then there's the question of what are they actually made of. Dog , cat, donkey , horse ? No-one knows and no-one in the sweat shops punting them out cares.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
