Fake Ugg Boots website?

[Butter Face]

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??

Bound to be fakes but Ugg have a website checker here - http://counterfeit.uggaustralia.com

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

just to correct you here, the people getting ripped of are those that pay £200 for genuine Ugg boots.

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.

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.
