blondejamtart Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Can't really advise you on the cheapest place to buy them, but I would be very wary about buying them off eBay or the likes, as apparently the bulk of those are fake, some obviously more so than others! My daughter's friend bought one pair off eBay which frankly looked like they'd cost a fiver from some market stall - not likely to impress your Mrs!

CraigSN1 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 My advice would be to just bite the bullet and buy them from a reputable retail store, that way your arse is covered if anything goes wrong and you have no worries. You wouldnt want them falling apart after two weeks, more importantly your other half wouldnt be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying them from a shop, she can take them back and easily get them changed,if size is not correct. My daughter has a pair of these, I was surprised how light they are, a good thing in footwear jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on eBay and stuff the now, just after any more advice if anyone has any! My wife got a Catalogue thing in yesterday from a company called M&m direct (I think it's called) UGG Boots in there for ?60-70...I've bought a few Fred Perry Polo's and Timberland Boots from them in the past, The real deal and great quality. Don't know what the Boots are like, They looked freakin awful to me but my daughter liked some of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Powell Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Buy them from John Lewis or somewhere. Don't get them from ebay they will 99.9% be fakes. Another word of advice get the stuff (either from ugg directly or think you can buy it in schuh) for treating them, Mine last year got wrecked with the salt on the pavement's. Check what size she is i am a 5.5 to 6 and got a 5.5 and they fitted fine as they are made on the bigger side. Another point keep the box and the receipt, I had bother with my first pair and despite them being 9 months old got a new pair from schuh for nowt as I still had box and receipt. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know but I was advised when I bought them to keep the box so if any probs would make for easier return, and I did, just shoved it in the top of my wardrobe oot road lol. When called schuh about first pair got asked if I had box and proof of purchase said yes and she said just take them to any shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schuh being fan dans if you ask me, but if it makes it easier for you... A similar thing happened to me when returning a toaster to Frasers that went on the blink a month after buying it. Was asked if I still had the box but said no, why on earth would I keep a box? That was the end of that and I was given a replacement straight away. Would be good to see how the legal side of box keeping or not affects your rights as a consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend would never dream of wearing anything as tacky as ugg boots Al and she's of a slender build as well. It was more that the boots look like hippo / elephant feet rather than the burds who wear them are fat.

She's not the "Jack Wills yah" kind of girl at all, I just think she'd like them and they'd keep her feet warm. A bit out of order using the word "slut" to describe someone's bird, especially if you've never met either of them. Thanks to others for their advice, I'm starting to think that just buying them from a shop is the best idea to make sure they're legit and in case she needs to take them back. John Lewis or Schuh here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgiegirl Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I really dislike Ugg boots (and yes I see lots of people wearing them with PJs), however, my big sis has a pair and I tried them on and they are extremely cosy, would be great for Tynie on a cold Saturday.....Just a shame that you look like you are wearing a pair of "big slippers" without the plug gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
