Does anyone here have these? I am looking into getting a pair for me (I am originally from FL and this NY weather is super cold for my toes :( ) and was wondering where the best priced place to order would be.

I understand they are great. but no help as to where to get them.

Ugg boots are an Australian brand-and a bit expensive here-but there are lots of really good copies for about 1/2 the price-see if you have a Famous Footwear chain where you are-or check on e-bay or Craig's List-also, many sporting goods stores have them-but they might be a bit more expensive than the discount stores-by the way, Famous Footwear usually have discount coupons available. I saw some at CostCo last week and they were really nice-and not expensive!

I got mine last year from Zappos.com. I love the boots. They are so warm and comfy. Don't wear socks with them - your feet will get much too hot. Zappos doesn't discount, so you may be able to find them elsewhere for less, but their customer service is the BEST, bar none. FYI - they carry all brands of shoes, men, women and children alike and all sizes. I
have a wide foot and they have a great selection of wide and extra wide widths if anyone is interested. But, I got off the subject - sorry. The Uggs wear well and I think you would be very happy with them. Of course, as someone else said, you can find similar boots elsewhere and I'm sure they are just as good. Oh - just be aware - they are not waterproof - so can't wear in rain or snow.

where in NY are you, I'm on the island, and Roosevelt field has them. try some local malls

Also, if you aren't too picky on color - try Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Ross's. My neice found a purly lavender pair two years ago at a discount store for $25. An yes they were really UGGs just apparently a color that didnt sell all that well. Good luck with the boot hunt!

I have a pair of black ones and tan ones.. LOVE THEM...sorry I cant help on where to find them at a bargain.. I just got mine at the mall when they had a sale going..

Are they water proof?

They are wonderful. I just got them from my local shoe store, Tradehome. Both by husband and I like them. Very comfortable.

I had them spray waterproofing on mine... but then again I don't use them to romp in the snow just to keep my toesies warm and boy do they stay nice and toasty!!

Yes I do have them, and they are my favorite boot ever! We get very cold winters in Indiana, and when I wear them, I can;t even feel the cold on my feet.

Looks for ones with extra thick sheepskin on the inside, and buy the waterproofing kit that comes with them.

I don't know how close you are to Roosevelt Field Mall on the Island, but you can find them there.

my daughter loves hers.....she has collected several colors...even green! (ick) anyhoo..she gets them drycleaned at the end of the year..come out looking like new!

I love to see the chicks here running around in those fuzzy boots, Daisy Dukes and a Hoody. Go figure.

I love my Uggs! I have worn them for years. I always have cold feet and the Uggs work great. Just remember that they are suppose to fit snug. The boots need to mold around your feet and they will stretch. Happy hunting.

Dont wear them in the snow and slush ..they arent "weather" boots...

I have one pair and my 24 year old has many pair. They last for years. Well worth the expense. She wants a new pair for Christmas. They are sold in this area in Dillard's and are in the Plow and Hearth catalogue.

If you are by a mall, try Lord and Taylor when they have a coupon, sometimes you can use it on the Uggs

I love them.

UGGs are the cat's meow. Don't wear socks, your feet will stay warmer without them. My husband and I wore ours while hiking around Pinecrest Lake in the snow. Pinecrest is about 5,000 feet and the trail was six miles long. Our UGGs were wet long before we got back to our camp but our feet were still toasty warm. I love them, they are worth every cent they cost. We keep pairs at home, at the cabin(which is above Pinecrest Lake at 5800 Feet) and a pair in the 5th wheel. You will love them. And you can wash them with sheepskin soap!! I've done them in the bathtub and then in the washer on handwash.

Don't know what they cost, but my last pair of warm boots came from LL Bean,for like $60 & free shipping.

My daughter bought a pair..and she loves them, can wear them all day, she is a school teacher.
i just know that they are expensive, but she said, worth every penny!

But according to the kids (from my 16 year old niece) FUgg boots (fake Ugg boots) an be spotted a mile away and no one would be caught dead wearing them. Jeesh! Kids!! In my day it was "Ladybug" dresses and "Capezios! "

Thanks for all of your inputs... I plan to buy some its just a matter of where from now.

ebay. got my 3 there. LOOOOOVVVVEEEE them

How do you know if they are real or repros?

I've had my pair of Uggs for 13 years and they're still goiing strong. I have the better quality style that has reinforced toes. They keep my feet super-warm - they're all I wear here in the South Dakota winters. The down side is that the sole is slippery. I would guess that the better quality, plain style (no zippers, buttons or fancy stuff - just pull-on) will cost at least $160.

I just got a pair of fake uggs at Payless. I think they were $25 and they're super warm.

I got a lavender pair at TJ Maxx a couple of years ago for $29.99.. they definitely keep my feet warm!!

It's like they just don't know what season it is. Summer? Fall? Winter? Let's just wear it all!

When shopping for UGGs be aware of counterfeits. Found this on an UGGs site. By the way I have read that in Australia UGG stands for a kind of boot, like hiking boots, as well as a brand and that other UGG boots may be ligitametly used but not what we are looking for. So to our wonderful Auzzie friends . . . yes or no? Give us the real low down on this.

What we're doing:

We employ the latest security measures to help ensure authenticity. Every authentic UGG® Australia product beginning with the Fall 2010 season* will come with two-layers of security: contained in a reflective security label and/or security sticker, allowing you to instantly authenticate genuine UGG® products.

Simply locate the reflective security sticker on the outside of your shoebox. The sticker is embedded with two distinct features.

To view the first feature, turn the sticker 90 degrees and make sure the sun logos change from black to white on the reflective strip. Second, look at the same sticker's reflective strip, turn it at an acute angle and verify that the UGG logo appears on the strip with some color reflecting.

If both security features perform as described, then you have an authentic UGG® Australia product.

If your product has a sewn in material content label it will also have a security label sewn in behind the label on the left boot or shoe and will work in the same manner as the sticker (note: if there is no sewn in label, a security sticker will be on the outsole of the left shoe).

We are dedicated to fighting this problem. UGG® Australia works with worldwide Customs authorities and various law enforcement agencies to spot and stop the shipment of counterfeit goods, preventing their sale and distribution. UGG® Australia also actively works to takedown any counterfeit websites, sponsored links, on-line auctions and trade board listings. We work with our various partners to investigate and conduct raids of factories producing counterfeit goods intended to deceive consumers.

* Please note that some "carry-over" styles may not contain the security label or sticker for a period of time.

Uggs are machine washable. I have my pair for about 25 yrs. When they get dirty I throw them in the washer with several towels and wash them. Then throw them in the dryer.
They come out just like new.

Uggs are great. My granddaughter has several pairs. One tip as they can cost alot of money at department stores. We are in the Denver area and buy them at the sheep skin store. They are much cheaper.

I have 2 pairs of them. They're great boot, alway keep my feet sooo warm. you could find here
eddiebauer.com and atheta.com they have some model is on sale now if you don't care the fashion.....happy hunting...

Australian "invention"....best place to buy? - AUSTRALIA of course. Just pop some in your bag on your next visit. However, I think some American company has bought the name.

Many of the ones we buy here in Australia are made in China,as are the Ugg Australia brand and only last a winter.
My long life ones (10 years)were from a factory in Adelaide, and cost about $90.00. They would have lasted longer but my sister wore them and stretched them, and put a hole in them. I will get another pair next winter, when I go visit the relatives in Adelaide.

Ugh, Uggs, Uglies, Uggies, they are slippers, not hiking boots! Only the "rough types" wear them outside the house down here!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I love my UGGS! Winters in Canada are way too cold for this relocated Brit! but UGGS help. My husband sprayed they so many times to make sure they are waterproof but I do not wear them outside if conditions are very wet and slushy but they are the cosiest footwear every and IMHO worth every cent! lol

DID YOU KNOW? Poor sheep are killed to make Uggs.
DID YOU KNOW? Millions of sheep have been kill to make Uggs.
DID YOU KNOW? Ug was the original word for
them 200 years ago. It stands for "ugly" as they weren't made for fashion.
DIDYOU KNOW? It takes MULTIPLE sheep to make ONE pair of Uggs (about 8 smaller sheep).
DID YOU KNOW? Uggs aren't made in Australia. They are currently made in China from imported sheep
skins. Knowing all this, do you REALLY want to keep buying them

If you have a Sport's Chalet store, watch for their ad for clearance. They have really good prices then on nearly everything in the store
