Quality or real boots are designed with double-faced sheepskin that will ease your feet with comfort. Double faced sheepskin is a single layer of sheepskin maintaining its thermostatic nature with the inner as skin (plain) and the outer as fleece that keeps your feet warm in winter and cool in summer.

In order to lessen the price of uggs, some manufacturers are using single-faced material / pigskin instead of double-faced sheepskins. This will ultimately reduce the quality of boots. But by looking closer you can find some tiny holes on the boot which states the boots are made of pig skin.

• The heel portion is much narrower in replicas than the genuine sheepskin boots.
• The shape of the front portion of the counterfeits is bit shorter while the front part of the real sheepskin boots has a rounder and longer finish.
• One can find UGG label on the back of the real ugg boots. The printing styles of letters on the label may differ or may have some gap in between the letters. In authentic boots, the letters will slightly overlap each other.
• Real ugg will have few Registered trademark symbols ® on its outsole whereas imitates lack this.
• If your elite choice is ugg classic tall / classic short, you should look at the bottom of the boot that contains the symbol 'UGG'
