I've seen WAY too many people selling fake uggs as "authentic" for full price! Please educate yourselves and know how to determine the difference :) no one wants to pay a fortune for cheaply made imitations! Some only use the "holographic" tag as an indication of authenticity. This tag is not always in the boots, and this tag has been used in imitations as well. If any inside tag says "patent pending" they're imitations. Hope this helps!

I just purchased a pair from not knowing they were not authentic 😒
kristin553
I agree. Its one thing to buy knock offs.... but noone wants to spend 100 on a pair of fake uggs :)
brinne
@fashionsbylexx I would report it to posh and try to get money back. Sorry someone pulled that on you! :( it's so rude and a scam!
brinne
@kristin553 it's so true! They fall apart, and if someone wants a knock of pair, they can find them online for $20
chicharrita9
I traded some of my items for a pair of uggs, and pretty sure they are fake 😂
brinne
@chicharrita9 well that's a bummer! There's definitely a quality difference, but if you haven't had lots of uggs before, it's harder to spot in pictures
chicharrita9
I do had uggs but it was very hard to tell on the pictures, so when I got them I was so upset 😠
brinne
@chicharrita9 dishonest people on here upset me! I try to report all the fake uggs I see because no one deserves to get ripped off like that :(
lfh2297
@westwolve2424 look on here too. Im pretty sure she would be happy to tell you that they are imitations as well. I dont want poshers getting scammed off of ugg boots that are "made in australia"
brinne
@lfh2297 so many poshers trying to sell fakes! It's disappointing
lfh2297
@brinne im going to tag you in the boots that shes lookingg to buy. They say "made in Australia"
brinne
@lfh2297 it must've gotten removed.. When I try to click on it, it says it's not there anymore

@amandafaye5 this is how you know if they're fake!
marylou11111949
Thank you so much for the teaching it helps me
brinne
@marylou11111949 you're welcome! I tried fitting as much as possible in this post
mrsklj
Its illegal to sell fakes saying they are real
brinne
@mrsklj yes it is, but some people on here still try to do it.
ladyh
Thank you for all your information. This really helps me because I almost bought a fake pair. Please keep helping/informing those that want your help.
brinne
@phancyleach I saw you commented on a pair of short brown Bailey button uggs.. Just wanted to let you know they are knock offs and not worth anymore than $40! :) don't want anyone getting scammed by people that aren't honest about authenticity
brinne
@han_burton was just trying to help you so you don't get in trouble with posh. Best to let people know in your listing so they know what product they're actually buying. Wast trying to be rude. Had to post on here since you blocked me from your closet.
brinne
@primp actually if YOU did your research, you would know that UGG is very selective about whom they purchase their sheepskin from. It comes only from butchers that do not practice mulesing or torture their animals in any way. The sheep are already being butchered for their meat, and ugg purchases the hides. This way no part of the animal goes to waste. If YOU did your research, you would also know that unauthentic uggs tend to use cow and pig hides, so I'm that case, it's still an animal being used. Go straight to the source and the company for your facts. Random YouTube videos aren't always created by reliable sources. Remember that before synthetic materials were available, people mainly wore animal hides. They killed animals to eat because that was how they survived. It's a way of life. Not all companies torture animals. Get your facts straight. Not every animal rights activist video on the Internet is accurate or true to EVERY company.
tracee08
@brinne question can some authentic uggs say made it vietnam? Know china yes cuz got pair ftom ugg website but im looking on here for another pair saw a few say they are real look real tag says made in vietnam
brinne
@tracee08 tag me on them.. I can look and let you know
brinne
@tracee08 if it's the chocolate brown pair, those are not real. Notice the tag says the sole is "blown rubber" well, ugg has a flexible Eva outsole... Not blown rubber. Also it says the inner lining is sheep skin. The inner lining is actually uggpure wool. Hope this helps
tracee08
@brinne so if a pair of uggs say blown rubber sole they are not real???
tracee08
@brinne i just looked at tag on my bailey bows i got last year off actual ugg website says made in vietnam and sole says eva NOT blown rubber
brinne
@tracee08 so some must be made in Vietnam as well as China. The inside tag is not always the best indicator to look for. I have seen fake uggs with a holographic tag. The best thing to look at is the fur and the color shape and material of the boot. The faux fur in fake uggs isn't as thick and almost looks shiny like polyester or a synthetic material like that. The slope of the boot on fake uggs is less natural and and the stitching uneven
tracee08
@brinne funny alot of people on here say authentic if you look at tags says blown rubber i got scammed in here i have 3 authentic pair and a fake pair i can tell the difference i wasnt sure i took her word it was on here actually but i can tell they are fake they droop down inside bottom no fur at all and tag says blown rubber and tgeres 2 tags one in each boot..now im mad as crap i got taken
tracee08
@brinne hate that peopke saying real and not
brinne
@tracee08 report her to posh and email them. They might be able to get you a partial or full refund. The dishonest people on here suck and ruin it for everyone else :(
tracee08
@brinne been awhile like few months wasnt sure than but ive been asking questions doing research i dont think theyll do anything now
stephaine77
Would it be okay if I tagged you in a couple that I'm thinking about purchasing and you could tell me if they are real or not?
tracee08
@brinne look at uggs i just posted tgese are ones i nought on here ifcreally are fake i dont want em
alikaiser
@ntbbb567
arianniduncan
Could you please come onto my ugg listing and confirm that they are actually authentic? There's two ladies who I called out on authenticity and they're claiming mine are fake too lol
brinne
@kj060686 the tag in yours also says "substance II" and those are the "classic tall" style. I have been certified in ugg retail and know the difference. It's not being rude, it's called warning others so they don't get scammed. You can also get in trouble with posh for selling fakes, and those definitely are.
brinne
@bmaynard those chestnut uggs you commented on are fakes.. Just a heads up so you don't get scammed :) I would've posted on there but she blocked me after I called her out on it and she reposted them
bmaynard
Thank you so much. I never would have known
stmarygirl5
@brinne maybe you could help me. I keep finding uggs with tags that say blown rubber sole. I checked Amazon and under some descriptions it says EVA blown rubber sole. I checked eBay authenticity info and found one that said blown rubber was legit. Of course, there is no clear info about the outer sole. Lmk what you think. 😃
_unicoxn_
I'm going to tag you in a few listings. Can you help me see which uggs are authentic! @brinne
tarabear22
Thank u, I know what ur saying, I had to check websites to see what was fake and what was authentic.
boo85485
@rosey529
sbibler64118
I didn't even know they made fake Uggs, this makes shopping on here harder now. Will Posh refund money if they are not authentic? I'm new to this site so I'm not sure what the rules are. Can I send you a picture of the Uggs I'm looking at and tell me if they're authentic before I purchase? Thank you for sharing this with us!

@doriandmikeyd this is from the official ugg website. You can find more information out there or ask me!😋
lola__renee
Hey @brinne I just purchased some Uggs from here can you tell me if they're real please
brinne
@lola__renee I can sure look at them and see what I think!
lola__renee
Do I have to tag you
brinne
@lola__renee I think so.. I can't see your purchases or anything
brinne
@lola__renee by looking at the bottoms, the thickness and wool look of the fur, and the overall structure of the boot, I'd say they're authentic :)
lola__renee
Thank you so much😊
mika5456
@brinne I purchased a pair of bailey button triplet and I believe they are fake. They don't have the Barcode behind the sew in label and they are a bit snug when all uggs run a full size larger.
brinne
@mika5456 the holographic tag is not in all boots, but if they fit snug, I'm guessing they're imitations. What does the inside fur look like?
mika5456
@brinne I was at nordstrom and Dillard's and checked their displays and they all have that smartphone Barcode in all their boots. The fur isnt as as soft...they are a great knockoff but not for how much I paid for them.
party0f1
Hi! I just tagged you in a pair of grey tall bailey bows...
brinne
@party0f1 so sorry haven't been on lately. Those appear to be authentic though!
bellamafiainc
I got some Bailey bow uggs and was so worried thought they where fakes cause my tag said Vietnam. I came across this and I seen there was a patent # so I looked up that patent number and it's a patent for decker out doors and that's who makes uggs so that's a easy way too know if ur worried about the Tagg and everything else checks out.
alicecampbell5
@brinne This is SO helpful, thank you! I had no idea people do this!! I'm trying to buy a pair for my sister for her birthday, she's the best person in the world and has been looking for good Uggs for ages and I'd be devastated if I gave her fakes!! Do you think I could tag you in a couple posts and you could tell me if they're real?
poshca03
@brinne Hi, thank's for help whit this post, what do you think about this boots, tag says patent pending. Ugg's from @ nerancha. Thank's
yvonnejenny18
hi I just purchased some uggs. I just wanted to know if they're really authentic. Can I tag you?
jbretado79
I just bought some a week ago and I'm sure I saw the patent pending !! 😡😡😡 going to report !
megejoy
@brinne thank you this is helpful-- I just thrifted some uggs, and despite having worn the product for 20 years, I am questioning authenticity w/out the box. By the feel of these and the quality, I say real.. but I read online that auth uggs always have a size tag in the left boot and these do not have that (Im trying to figure out the size, too. Any tips?) thank you!
kimb1216
I'm not an UGG expert, so, can you answer a question for me if you don't mind? Authentic UGG boots or sneakers; do they say Made in Vietnam on the box?
countrychick72
@kimb1216 Both authentic & fake can say "made in Vietnam" on the box. The stitching is the easiest way for me to tell without a comparison next to it. Fakes do not have the perfect stitching.
hey_byehsjsbbs
@brinne are uggs that are made in Vietnam fake?
reyespaola2
So if it saw on the tag inside of the boot outsole is patent pending does that mean they are fake?

@brinne I have a question now on a pair i already bought. They look right, but whats bothering me is that a pair i got before that were real area size 8 & fit fine. The pair i bought on here cheap (because they needed to be fixed) are an 8W & feel tight. And the only difference in appearance is the inside tags are different. Otherwise the pair I just bought look real from everything you show up there.

Just recd some teal sequin uggs and think they may be fakes. Can you check out for me from posting? Paid more for them than others on this site.

I bought two pair of Amie's from posh mark. I own one pair that I bought from the Ugg store. I am wondering if there is a way to authenticate the two I bought. The one pair for sure feels different, thinner , then my ones from the store
tdannunz
Hello, when you said that fraying of the stitching is common, does that indicate that they are fake or real? Thank you!
brinne
@tdannunz really bad fraying or seams coming apart is a Sign of counterfeit

Hi, I need help to authenticate my Ugg. My mom bought it for me a few month ago from her friend, it was size 9 and I usually wore 7.5, i thought wut da heck 1 size bigger isn't a biggie, until I wore them yesterday to go to post office about 2 blocks away, it was definitely too big!!. As i remember the box has sun insignia on the left bottom corner, with all the ugg tissue papers even but I threw them out the day i got them.
psunity
I was freaking out at first because I can't find the hologram logo inside, it was just a white tag says "made in china 9W" then the back is those washing symbols and some manufacture code or something. I can post photos on my listing, can you please help me and give me some insight if this is real or fake. I'm planning to sell them because it's obviously too big for me but if it's a fake I would rather donate them to thrift shop. Thanks in advance
ams0431
@brinne I just purchased a pair and didn’t know counterfeits were sold here :/
I’m new to Posh can you check to see if they are authentic?
ebeths73
I'm trying to figure out how to spot difference in the knee high leather/suede boots, but can't find anything. The serial number directs me to the boots and the other number directs me to Ugg. That's the only tag on the boot and it is well constructed. I own a few pairs and first I've bought off here so just checking. My others fit perfect, but these are a tad bigger which made me nervous. These are the Dree boots. TIA!
helloszesze
What about the ones that were made before 2010? Can they say "patent pending" but real? I have seen many of them have the tag saying that. I will tag you in one, and please tell me what your thoughts are. Thank you!
helloszesze
@myposh57 Hi! I saw you purchased a pair of Uggs and I have the same pair. I was just wondering if yours have the authentic label such as the hologram sticker or does it say "patent pending" on the tag? I'm concerned after I read this post. I thought you might want to check it out. Thanks!
kelseyerickson4
I've spent the last idk week studying different Uggs and trying to find out what s fake or not.. Could I tag you in a pair before I buy them so I know they are real. I have bought 3 others on merc and they were all fake so I'm so nervous

Glad I came up on this. Thank you. Unfortunately I believe mine are also fake. I have messenger boots. What about boots from before 2010?
heartsongshappy
Can you help me? I purchased a lot of Uggs yesterday and I have 2 chocolate Talls. They pass all the inspections except the heights are different and they have older ugg tags. The inside is softer in one and more matted on the other. Made in China, r’s on the bottoms, sheepskin is attached, etc. I can’t seem to find anything about older uggs. I have one pair listed as not for sell. And getting ready to do the same with the other.
jillwoot
@brinne can you look in my closet at the UGGs I just received and let me know if you think they’re imitations? I posted them to share the pics. The tag says patent pending and the fur is NOT soft - those were the big red flags.

Hi I was wondering if you could help me out to determine whether or not the UGGs I recently purchased are authentic. Thanks!
_needfulthings_
Hello! Question for you... I bought a pair of uggs, but I'm questioning their authenticity, they are black cardys with a tan heel label. Is that even a thing? Should the label be black too? I got them for my daughter but she doesn't like them. I don't want to posh fakes... Thanks!
ginger1276
@brinne love this! Amen sista! I'm a firm & very strong believer in not wasting animals .. if they r being used 4 any reason better use the animal or 4getta bout it! That's my motto anyway! But I actually had a customer ask recently if ones I'm selling r authentic could u chk i bot them from another site I don't want to tell her they r simply becoz I don't know 😊
ccnorris
The Uggs I just bought (classic short) don’t have fur on the inside back where the heel is. All my others are fully lined. Does that mean they are fakes?

@brinne hey! I bought a pair of black sequin UGGS from Nordstrom and they do not have the QR code tag... and I thought all of the newer UGGS had it based off UGGS website. The boots do have the holographic tag inside...and Nordstrom is an authorized retailer for UGGS, I am nervous that someone switched them out or something 😫 from your experience do they all have the QR code tag?
starjules28
Hi there,
I am somewhat new here.I always said I’d never wear or buy uggs,but after having so much feet problems that give me pain,I need to go for comfort.A few months ago I found a small brown pair in a thrift store for $7.99-$12.99 so I got them.They have the holographic sticker sewn inside & weither or not they are fake or real they ARE very comfortable,they just leak when wet.I love them so much,I am looking for another pair,just a diff style.Are the metal labels on the back real?thanks
krisperrien
When I scan QR code inside boot it takes me to the UGG landing page but doesn’t actually say if they are real or fake. Does that matter, as long as it takes me to UGG landing page? Does that mean they are legit? Thanks!
mgentry06
@allsmiles323 not all of the boots have the QR code. Both pairs of my Tall chestnut bailey bows that I bought from the actual Ugg site did not come with them!

You seem to be an ugg expert. Why are some of the older used uggs priced so high on postmark. I have a pair of Bailey Bows I bought several years ago at a reputable shoe store. They have Ugg Australia on the tag. There is a patent number and they are sheepskin. Made in china.s/n32boy How do I know if the value.

Hi @brinne! Awesome info. I’ve never owned Uggs and was considering buying a pair, can i tag you on them to see if they are real? I usually have a good eye for this sort of thing and avoid fakes like the plague but I’m not as familiar with the brand.

hi sorry to bother you it looks like you've had a lot of requests for authentication and help. I believe I have a pair of authentic pre-2010 boots for sale in my closet, but would love your feedback?
penandray1
Hey! I got duped ( on Merc...) a few weeks ago. The inner fur should all be ONE color! Not the shaft one color and the sole part a different color(I didn’t know lmfao). The left boot will also have a QR code on the tag (for authentication). The barcode on the box will be red, blue(or violet depending on your eyes), and then black (from top to bottom). There are also plenty of YouTube videos. Happy hunting!

i was under the impression all ugg’s were to say only ugg and not the ugg australia i’m weary about purchasing any that say australia now since they switched them to only saying ugg idk what’s real or fake ugh

I just got some men's Ascot uggs from Amazon and I think they are real. There is not a ur code but there is the hologram and a number and everything else checks out... Just curious do they not all have ur codes?
schobes625
@ashmarie3535 lol that is what I have been going crazy over too like wtf are they supposed to have it or aren't they... I guess the only ones are old ones and doubt people sat in these and waited to sell... So the australia ones are most likely fakes.

sassyprincess81
thank you for this posting! I completely agree!
donoyyc
@lfh2297 I know this is an old post but seeing as fake Uggs are still rampant I figured I would throw in some more information. The Uggs we all buy today are in fact not the original Uggs. The original Ugg boots are still being made by the same company today which you can find by googling Ugg since 1974. They have alot of info about how the other Uggs came to be on their website. These boots are ONLY made in Australia.
paigebarrett812
@jfarrell1983 i have this same issue. could someone please let me know if the QR code takes you to the UGG homepage and not a verification, are they real?
lmpappa
Hi @brinne! I am so impressed with your Ugg knowledge! I am in the market for some Chocolate Talls and there's so much to know about what's authentic, what's not, what's older (but real), etc. I know this is an older post, but are you willing to take a peek at a posting or two to help me understand what I'm looking at? Thanks!!!
sunnygirl48
Does anyone know if older youth Uggs ever have a tag that is specifically EU sizing? They are listed on another resale site, they look like older kids classic short, but I've never seen an interior tag that just says 32 (EU sizing).

Do all the ultra minis have the same looking tag inside the left shoe?
