How to identify the authenticity of UGG snow boots

Height

There is a difference in the height of genuine and fake UGG snow boots. Genuine ones The height is not very high, it is as high as the short boots we wear, and the wool is naturally exposed at the boot shaft. The height of the imitation is generally higher, which is equivalent to the boots we wear. Most of the boots have no wool exposed. There are certain differences in product labels and styles between genuine and fake products. The fonts of high imitation products will be slightly larger.

Shoe Box

Many fake UGG shoe boxes are of poor quality. Some boxes break with just a touch, and some have handles. Genuine shoe boxes are generally more delicate, square and will not be damaged. The paper is relatively hard and not easily damaged. There will be a label on a real UGG snow shoe box. The label has the appearance of the shoe and a barcode. There is usually a product logo on the left side of the label. Fake labels generally do not have any shoe-like graphics on them, the labels are slightly smaller than the real ones, and there is no product logo on the left side.
