Uggs are Australian sheepskin boots, known to be a warm, comfortable, and stylish option for chilly feet everywhere. It's easy to spot the Ugg style - but is it just as easy to tell whether a pair of Uggs is the genuine brand, or a cheap knockoff? Not at all. Due to trademark disputes, Uggs are faked, and faked well, in many parts of the world.
Ugg boots, trademarked by the American company, Deckers, have recently been challenged by Australian shoemakers. Ugg boots (sometimes called Ug or Ugh) originated in Australia's and New Zealand's sheep-shearing cultures: the boots were made locally because their warmth was needed in high altitudes.
Deckers, which has the boots manufactured in China, claims to own the style and the brand name. Australians claim the name to be generic for sheepskin boots, and thus impossible to trademark. This discrepancy has led to the manufacturing of very similar boots in Australia, and these are the boots considered 'fakes' by Americans. The more expensive boots, made in China rather than Australia, are the ones considered 'real.'
Here are the top 6 ways to tell whether your Ugg boots are of legitimate, Deckers-made quality.

The new Motorola H700 is a small, attractive, and good headset in terms of functionality, sound quality and style. I should know, I have two of them. Unfortunately, one of them is fake. I purchased it through eBay. I want to write this guide to help others to not make the same mistake that I did. The retail price for the H700 is between $99 - $129 at the stores. You can find them on eBay for as low as $26 plus shipping. I won't name the seller that I dealt with on this purchase but be aware that if you're purchasing a Morolola H700 for around $30, it is probably a fake.
