I’m in the Midwest and wear mine in snow all winter. I spray mine every fall to waterproof and it doesn’t change the color either. Mine are probably 12 ish years old! I have absolutely no regrets buying ugg! I also own a pair of bear paws, never again. Not soft, never wear them......and NEVER wear socks with Ugg’s!
As an Aussie, I've always had ugg boots. Ugg trademarked the name "Ugg" and stopped all real Australian companies that made authentic uggs from using the name. It was sooo sad at the time (I think it was in the mid to late 90's). The small family owned businesses that produced real, quality handmade uggs had to start calling them sheepskin boots. I have a pair of real Australian uggs (sheepskin slippers) that I bought 13 years ago from a family owned business in country New South Wales (Australia) and I am still wearing them. Real uggs are made to last! I wear my uggs as house shoes in winter or on cold days, but rarely outside. Worn with clean feet and no socks, they don't smell. If I get a mark on my boot, I use a damp cloth to spot clean. So comfortable and kind to your feet. Really enjoyed this episode...thanks Milabu!
I’m actually gonna order from a family business who,still make Australian made uggs I can’t wait :) we only get ugg original here in Europe but they are manufactured in China ..
I agree, I wish more people knew that authentic Australian made Ugg’s do exist, you just have to find them. It’s sad that 96% of Ugg’s bought are the ones made in China or Vietnam. 😭 Support Australian made Uggs 😊
@@alexandersanchez8329 Yes, I still buy Australian, though I buy some cheaper US marketed ones, for fashion. If you want the best, though, I love UGG Since 1974, from Australia. Mine never fail, even after years. If you’re on a tight budget, I’ve bought Original UGG Boots Australia on sale for as low as $20 for an UGG shoe (real double faced sheepskin) or $55-70 for the classic boots for snow. Even not on sale, I’ve paid less than Decker UGG prices, even with the $35 US shipping fee. I make the best deal of my orders by pooling money with family members...I’ve turned my mom, sister, and boyfriend on to them. Then I buy a pair or two for gifts, if there’s a birthday or holiday coming up. I order 1 1:2 sizes SMALLER in both those brands than US sizes, though. Look for the Australian Made label, including on the website. There’s a fake site With a name nearly identical to Original UGG Boots Australia, so be careful! Look for the kangaroo in a triangle, and “Australian Made” on the tag.
@@RebelAlliance42 He didn't first make them, they were around probably before he was born. Ugg boots are a type of boot, not a brand. He just went to the USA and started marketing them there. He had a image trademark, which meant other people could use the word ugg, but not the exact logo he used. After Deckers Outdoor Corporation bought him out they somehow found a way to register the actual work. They then followed that up by aggressively suing all other ugg manufacturers and marketers.
One year I received 3 pairs of Bearpaw for Christmas. Best Christmas ever. They definitely stretch as you wear them. They held up for almost 10 years! I wore them all the time.
I LOVE UGGs!!!! The first pair I purchased in 2004 are still alive!!!! Amazing quality for sure!!! There’s just nothing better out there-hands down! And by the way, Bear Paw is made by UGG.
I have worn Bearpaw for years! I have 2 different pairs. I love them!! ❤️ Having kids, and living in the country I couldn’t bring myself to buy Ugg’s. My ex-sister-in-law had hers ruined by just coming to the house because of the mud, so that and the price of course prevented me from even trying Ugg’s. I do understand the tight feeling when you first get the Bearpaw’s, but if you size up at all they will end up too big when the shearling gets pushed down. Ultimately I will always own Bearpaw. ❤️
I’m an Ugg girl all the way. I wear them all the time during the cold months. I have one pair that I wear in the snow. The others are just for cold days and to be cute. They also make AWESOME slippers! Great video!
I wish I knew how to use the cleaner properly, like you do! Got any tips? I get more stains when I try to clean mine than when I don’t. I don’t use the weather resistant Classic 2, though, because the Classic 1 has more fluff inside & I have arthritis.
I got my ugh boots on sale 8 years ago! They hold up amazingly well. I have only cleaned them once. They have some minor wear and tear but worth every penny.
I've worn dupes for years, mostly primark €8 boots with the odd €40 TK MAXX ones. This Christmas i finally got a pair of classic short chestnut Uggs, there's no comparison. Real Uggs are soft, comfortable and luxurious. I know i am wearing €200 worth of shoes on my feet. They were worth the wait 😊❤
I’m surprised you didn’t try a pair of mukluks. I love them and they come in all price points from very expensive to very affordable!!! Would be interested in your opinion of them. Love your videos by the way!!!
I have a couple of pairs of Ugg’s, I absolutely love them. There the only shoes that keep my feet warm. They also last sooo long, my sole has hardly worn even wearing them all the time in the winter. They are defo worth the price, other cheaper ones the ankles collapse. Also all sheepskin type boots feel tight at first, after a while the fur beds down. Anyway recommend Ugg’s!! 😬
I would highly recommend EMU. It’s an Australian brand that makes Ugg boots. They are made from Aus wool but have a waterproof line that is made to be worn outside in rain/snow.
The American Company Deckers, bought the UGG name but they are cheap Chinese made copies. The real UGG boots are made in Australia with a much higher quality.
We live up in the Northern Central part of Canada, so warm boots are a MUST! My 15 year old loves her UGG Boots. She has 3 styles of them, but all are authentic due to cold rating factor. They do last a long time, even in all our snow! Love your videos, thanks for brightening my days! Blessings to you and your family! 🥰
I really love uggs. It’s like walking on clouds! I have had 4 pairs. I only were them when it’s cold but dry. Tip: spray them every week with a waterproof spray, so they won’t get watermarks.
I own a pair of bearpaw. I will say they are true to size. They are tight at first but tends to stretch after a few wears. If you get them bigger they'll become too loose on your feet. When I first started wearing my bearpaws, I was sure I would need to replace them. I gave it a chance and now I live in them. I wear thick socks with mine, and I still find comfort wearing them. I can't compare them to Uggs as I've never owned a pair. When cleaning my bear paws I use magic erasers and the pink stuff paste accompanied with cool/cold water. Dab cold water on boots. Using pink stuff paste and magic erasers lightly buff out dirt and grime. Then rinse using clean magic eraser and water only. After I'm done cleaning them i put socks packing paper anything inside the boots to help keep the shape so they don't worp while air drying. (Stay away from heaters during the drying process. Heat will cause misshaping)
I have and wear bearpaws! I love them I have two pair and have had one pair for over 5 years. Get the right size they do stretch out. I do love that the bearpaws have the neverwet coating.
I was like you at first and avoided Ugg’s because they are not “pretty” but I’m converted i havae long ones and short ones my oldest pair is about 6 years old and they have not split or anything the quality has been really good and the are still so warm and comfortable
Me, too. I was won over as soon as I tried them on my feet. The feel is incomparable. My boyfriend thinks I’m a dork, and fashion magazines say I’m too old to wear UGGs “Over 30,” but idc. I live in Minnesota, where it gets below 0°F often, sometimes -30° to -50°F. UGGs are the best at keeping my feet warm & cozy. This year I got the new Classic Clear (plastic coated) UGGs, and I love them...they’re infallibly waterproof for wet, slushy days, and fall/spring rain ☔️ ❄️.
I love my UGG boots. Have been wearing them for 12 years now! The best way to experience them is to wear them bare feet. Uggs were not meant to be worn with socks. By wearing them bare feet, it can regulate your body temperature better. Plus they feel super soft and cozy on your feet. Give it a try!! : )
I have waterproof black leather Ugg boots. And they are the only ones that keep my feet warm, I think you should’ve tried them outside for warmth capacity.
Being an Aussie I’ve had numerous pairs of Ugg boots over the years. I always ensure they are made from genuine sheepskin, as your feet don’t sweat if they are. I live in mine all winter long. Best footwear ever!! Apart from my Havaianas all summer long hahahaha
They are now made in China. I just watched a video of how an American company bought the rights to the UGG name, stopping the Australian company from producing the boots under the Australian label.
I’ve had both real and other brands. The best alternative that I’ve worn from Bearpaws, Target, etc are the Kirkland version of Costco for $30 but UGGs are still better quality not by much especially for that huge price difference. UGGs at a sale price I highly recommend Nordstrom Rack 10/10
I love bearpaws, I wear my boots all winter so they end up really smelly beyond cleaning so I replace them yearly and with the price point its perfect.
I love Bear Paws, too. Someone on here said they’re not as comfortable, but I think they tried the wrong style for them. I love the Lori (like the UGG Bailey Button), the Regina (comfy & chic), and the Dorothy (knee high), for comfort. The waterproof McKinley is great for places with deep, wet snow, like here in Minnesota. There’s a fuzzy-inside sneaker I want to try, now, too! What’s your favorite style?
Shape wise, true. I wish I’d never put them on cause I’ve sworn off style. I do think some of the girly uggs (with colors, bows, shimmer, and bling) are cute, but never svelte!
My first pair of Ugg boots were from my grandma. She says, I have some ugly boots that were recommended for winter boots but I don’t like them, if they fit take them! I wore those Ugg’s for several years. She passed soon after so I also treasured them because she gave them to me. I have two separate different looking Ugg’s that I love how warm they are.
I have a pair of $20 ugg knock offs I got at Walmart years ago just for something warmer than tennis shoes and with no heels like boots. I’ve worn them in the snow and rain and they have held up so well for at least 3 or 4 years
I have the Bearpaws, from last year they are great ,cozy and very warm in a cold dry day thanks to my sister Mireya. We also have the ugg couch blankets 💕 they are excellent.
I have a 10 year old pair of Uggs!! Love them!! I treated them before worn and retreat them every year. They are great and have lasted. I also use the cleaner and boot brush.
I’ve had my Uggs for years. I wear them inside the house. No longer made in Australia. Originally worn by surfers on the beach. Never meant to be winter boots. Quality has deteriorated over the years.
I've had one pair of mine for 10 years. They still are great and I wear them all the time in the winter. I've just need to change the insole a few times. Love uggs
I've had two pairs (one grey set, one black set) of knockoff uggs from Target for the past 5 years and I love them. They still look brand new even though I wear them daily throughout every winter. I paid less than $25 for each pair at the time. If they ever wear out, I will buy another set of the knockoffs.
Ugg has a sister company that is called Koolaburra by Ugg which is basically Ugg's at half the cost for the same boots. I have a pair and I really love them. I got a pair for my daughter and granddaughter and they love them too. They are soft, warm and great to run errans in.
I’ve got Uggs but prefer the Kirkland brand sold by Costco. They have a memory foam sole under the shearling so are far more comfortable. I had an early pair of Bear Paws that had faux fur: they made my feet sweat which created a really cold foot. Buy a couple of pairs of Kirklands and you’ll still spend less than the Uggs, have a couple of different looks and have very comfortable, warm boots.
Just bought a new pair of UGGS. I have bought them over the years; I think they have cheapened the product and I was disappointed, they felt less plush, and cheap. Not as big of a fan as I used to be.
Absolutely love my ALL my pairs of Uggs! I still have a pair I have had for more than 20 years of the boots I have, but I make sure not to wear them on the warmer slushier days. Living in Canada I make sure to wear them on much colder days where it isn't slushier, I have my Ugg rain boots for those days. As well I make sure to clean and water treat them every winter season helping with keeping them looking new. I have only worn through a single pair in the 30 plus years I have been buying Uggs and those lasted me ten years themselves, but I truly believe if they are taken care of regularly they will last an extremely long time to get your money's worth out of them. That being said, there are some decent cheaper replicas that can do you just as well.
Great comparison! I love the close up shots to really see the difference in quality! If you're going to continue to review shoes, can you please look into proper terminology? It would help you to describe the parts of the shoes you're talking about (outsole instead of platform, heel counter instead of heel material, lining vs upper etc). Rose Anvil here on TH-cam taught me terminology and it's helped me as a consumer for sure!
Love my original Ugg’s, mine have the Metal Ugg ‘tag’ on the back, no cloth tag ... just got a pair of KoolaBurra by Ugg at Kohl’s for $55 they’re equally as cute and seem comfortable too (have only had them a few days now)
Yess Bear Paw's are the best! Cozy and durable. Excellent for DRY, cold conditions. They look so cute with jeans and cozy sweater when u need to run errands. Ugg has a cheaper version called Koolabura that are sold at Kohl's and they are excellent too🖤
Can’t beat a Bearpaw, they last forever, are warm and weather resistant. The size in Bearpaw are on point. I have UGG’s and Bearpaw and the Bearpaw is just as comfortable as the uGG’s.
I’ve owned 3 pairs of ugg boots and they are so comfortable !! You need to buy the spray to keep them protected and lasts longer but they are definitely NOT snow ❄️ proof regardless if you spray them or not !! Don’t go skiing or snowboarding or snow shoeing with them !! They made a newer version of the ugg boots now that is waterproof or rain 🌧 boots !! I plan on getting them when my old ugg boots wear out !!
I have a few different pairs of uggs and I love them. I have had one pair for about 8 - 10 years and I have worn that pair the most out of all of the pairs I have. Probably worn them at least 2 days a week. I am only just thinking that they are looking a bit shabby. UGG boots are definitely worth the money in my opinion. The cheaper versions that I’ve seen other people wear always end with their heel going over the. It heel when they walk and look terrible.
Uggs are definitely the best! A suede protector and brush can keep them looking new for years. The soles last years & I walk alot. Wear them autumn to winter but not in bad snow as they aren't waterproof.
I stopped at Famous Footwear to test out Bearpaw vs. Koolaburra by Ugg. I definitely love the feel of Bearpaw it was closest to the feel of Uggs. It's does have some weight to it but I feel it is not a problem to me. I did not like Koolaburra's to be honest. I had expecations to like them but didn't. Here's why I favored Bearpaws: if you live in the northern MidWest states (Minnesota where Im from) Bearpaw is where it's at. It's plushier and if you happen to stomp in some snow, you wouldn't feel seepage of moisture. Koolaburra's are best if you live in the Southern/warmer climate states and not as plushy and not-as-heavy feelingas a lot of the positive reviews I've read. Still an excellent boot, just depends where you are during the winter months! I've own black Uggs previously so I can attest to that!
thats good to know! I had a fam member who had always wore knock offs of them and she had the stinkiest feet alllllll winter long, could clear a room just having her feet or her boots in a room!
I love my UGGs, well worth every cent! Those who don't like them haven't tried them, because they are LUXURIOUS on the feet! I wear mine with a thin, cotton sock, but they are designed to be worn without socks. Edit; 2nd winter in my UGGs, and they still look like new, barely any wear on the sole, the lining is still fluffy, comfy, and warm, and I'm still wearing them everywhere...
The flip flops of winter! I had a pair of Bearpaws for 10 years, worn throughout the winter all those years. Just bought a second pair last winter. They're for function, not for fashion 😆
Absolutely loveee my Uggs they are definitely worth the price and last for many years. You would think the bottom of the boots wouldn’t wear good but I can insure you they do I’ve had a pair for 6 years and the bottom of the boots still looks great!
None of these are the real Australian Ugg Boots. The name was taken by US company who produces them in Asia which has lowered original quality somewhat. You can still buy real deal in Australia where quality is still consistent & you'll have them for years.
I feel Uggs are worth the price. I would rather pay $170 once than $35 every year because they didn’t hold up to normal wear and tear. My first pair I bought In the early 2000s still look brand new and I wear them a lot! I recently bought the ultra min and tazmans and I know they will be around for a long time
Thank goodness UGG boots are lighter. I live in a very cold snowy area and after walking around all day, you don't want a very heavy boot. The ones I like best are the waterproof ones.
I have an older original pair of baby blue uggs which I love. You can purchase waterproofing spray which I recommend. Also using a suede brush helps to keep them looking clean and not matted. They will last longer if you give these tips a try!
I have had Bearpaw's and uggs. The heel area deteriorate very quickly in the bearpaws within a few weeks of wearing. It caused massive blistering even with socks, and wouldn't protect even with waterproofing when shoveling because it would pool right in the creases. I've had uggs in the classic style with a foam type bottom and a rubber bottom and the rubber bottom is still going strong 6+ years later. I bought another pair that are more for winter and I love both pairs.
I love my Uggs. The 1st day I tried them on they were on sale and I'd been on my feet all day. I put them on and they felt like heaven. I haven't tried Bear Paw yet. Considering though.
I have both a pair of copy Uggs from Aldo purchased about a decade ago that really held up and a pair of real Uggs (the taller type with buttons on the side). I will issue this warning, since you talked about wearing Uggs on slushy days - they are not waterproof. I wore mine to go to work on a day where the weather was really mild, turning the snow to slush, and when I got to the office, my feet were soaked! So word to the wise, those are better suited for actual snow and colder days. The soles are also very slippery whenever the ground turns icy.
I have the UGG boots I didn’t pay the retail price. I was able to purchase them in the market place in Facebook and cleaned them and sealed them. I am so happy with them. I love love love them. I live in North Alabama so I don’t have the slushy winters it here places have.
LOVE my UGGs!! I’ve had mine 5 years and they’re the only boots that keep my feet warm here in the central NY snow. I also wear them outside in the Spring and Summer working in my garden and my feet don’t sweat and they barely look worn. The sole is very sturdy with a good tread and helps to avoid slipping in the snow. My UGGs have a metal label on the back heel so I wonder if the quality has slipped? But I recently bought a few other styles and they feel just as comfy, warm and well made...so not sure.
They are pricey but I think they’re worth it. My husband doesn’t like the looks of it either but I forced him to try it on and he understood why I am into it lol It’s warm and comfy plus so easy to put on when in a hurry. 👌
I have a air of Ugg’s that are 30 years old. I just found a brand new pair of 170.00 Ugg’s at a consignment store for 35.00 yay. They are different. The footbed on the newer Ugg’s is not removable but the older ugg is removable, they are also put together differently.
You want to get your UGGs from UGG Australia since 1974. They are handmade in Australia and have a warranty, you can replace the inner sole. I don’t know where she got hers.
UGG does have some styles that aren't so boxy. I have the driver/slippers with lots of rhinestones on the top, some tall ones that have some shape to them and fur & sheerling, and the classic but in grey with rhinestones and I think it's called Karina style. Don't wear socks with them and you'll stay warmer. The design is basically, you're home, barefoot, and ya gotta run out, ya pop 'em on and stay toasty warm. LOL I always heavily coat mine with protection spray and it's been ions now in snow and gunk and they look brand new still. If I'm gonna be walking in the store for an hr, I probably wouldn't wear them, but perfect for running errands and such. I got some sheerling insoles online for them that have arch support and put a pair in each of the ones I have (I have 4 pair) and they are pretty much indestructible and it's impossible to have cold feet in them. I've never found a 'dupe' pair that kept my feet warm, including Bear Paw. BTW, never wear a pair of Uggs outside before dousing them with waterproof protection spray before 1st wear and they'll last forever.
Had my UGGS for 12 years. Look new as long as you clean them right. I live in Chicago and wear mine all winter long. For the best comfort wear UGGS barefoot.
These boots should not be worn in the snow, even when treated they don't hold up. They are great on a cold, dry day.
I agree but I wear mine regular UGGs in the snow but I would rather wear my waterproof UGGs in the snow.
This goes for the expensive ones as well right?
@@lettiemessi8863 right.

Does Ugg have a special meaning?
Where I can get sheep skin boots by aussie family bussiness online?
The old ugg brand was the best, bring back ugg to the native land of Australia and the quality will be fantastic it's unfortunate it got sold off

Did the inner ankle of your Ugg’s start to slouch or have your boots kept their structure well??
I have and wear bearpaws! I love them I have two pair and have had one pair for over 5 years. Get the right size they do stretch out. I do love that the bearpaws have the neverwet coating.
I have had Ugg’s and bear paws and honestly prefer bear paw! More affordable and great quality!
Can't live without my UGGs! I have 5 styles plus house shoes. Try the flip flops too! Ahh-mazing!
Yes, my feet love them. I’m glad there are now styles for every season. I wear them all year.
I have BearPaws and I LOVE them!
I was like you at first and avoided Ugg’s because they are not “pretty” but I’m converted i havae long ones and short ones my oldest pair is about 6 years old and they have not split or anything the quality has been really good and the are still so warm and comfortable
Me, too. I was won over as soon as I tried them on my feet. The feel is incomparable. My boyfriend thinks I’m a dork, and fashion magazines say I’m too old to wear UGGs “Over 30,” but idc. I live in Minnesota, where it gets below 0°F often, sometimes -30° to -50°F. UGGs are the best at keeping my feet warm & cozy. This year I got the new Classic Clear (plastic coated) UGGs, and I love them...they’re infallibly waterproof for wet, slushy days, and fall/spring rain ☔️ ❄️.
I love my UGG boots. Have been wearing them for 12 years now! The best way to experience them is to wear them bare feet. Uggs were not meant to be worn with socks. By wearing them bare feet, it can regulate your body temperature better. Plus they feel super soft and cozy on your feet. Give it a try!! : )
I have been wearing Ugg’s for 17 years and have always worn them no socks , such a wonderfully comfy feeling 😀👍🏻💯 Love them
Bearpaws are my favorite I love them in the winter
I have waterproof black leather Ugg boots. And they are the only ones that keep my feet warm, I think you should’ve tried them outside for warmth capacity.
You could get the protector spray for the leather to make it “waterproof”. It would change the color a bit though.
Being an Aussie I’ve had numerous pairs of Ugg boots over the years. I always ensure they are made from genuine sheepskin, as your feet don’t sweat if they are. I live in mine all winter long. Best footwear ever!! Apart from my Havaianas all summer long hahahaha
That’s Ab Fab
They are not Australia
Uggs are cheaply made.
@@jillhopson4949 not here in Australia they aren't
They are now made in China. I just watched a video of how an American company bought the rights to the UGG name, stopping the Australian company from producing the boots under the Australian label.
I’ve had both real and other brands.
The best alternative that I’ve worn from Bearpaws, Target, etc are the Kirkland version of Costco for $30 but UGGs are still better quality not by much especially for that huge price difference.
UGGs at a sale price I highly recommend Nordstrom Rack 10/10
I love bearpaws, I wear my boots all winter so they end up really smelly beyond cleaning so I replace them yearly and with the price point its perfect.
I love Bear Paws, too. Someone on here said they’re not as comfortable, but I think they tried the wrong style for them. I love the Lori (like the UGG Bailey Button), the Regina (comfy & chic), and the Dorothy (knee high), for comfort. The waterproof McKinley is great for places with deep, wet snow, like here in Minnesota. There’s a fuzzy-inside sneaker I want to try, now, too! What’s your favorite style?
Bearpaw is my favorite! Especially for the price
I bought uggs and hated them! I've worn dupes for years, so the uggs got returned and I'll be sticking with the dupes from now on!
Probably the ugliest boots available. Shape wise.
Shape wise, true. I wish I’d never put them on cause I’ve sworn off style. I do think some of the girly uggs (with colors, bows, shimmer, and bling) are cute, but never svelte!
So ugly I just cant....
My first pair of Ugg boots were from my grandma. She says, I have some ugly boots that were recommended for winter boots but I don’t like them, if they fit take them! I wore those Ugg’s for several years. She passed soon after so I also treasured them because she gave them to me. I have two separate different looking Ugg’s that I love how warm they are.
I have Emus - or what my husband calls expensive Uggs. They are ok. But I love BearPaws and wear them more often.
I have a pair of $20 ugg knock offs I got at Walmart years ago just for something warmer than tennis shoes and with no heels like boots. I’ve worn them in the snow and rain and they have held up so well for at least 3 or 4 years
I have Bearpaw's and my daughter has Uggs. Both very good.
I have the Bearpaws, from last year they are great ,cozy and very warm in a cold dry day thanks to my sister Mireya. We also have the ugg couch blankets 💕 they are excellent.
I have tried different kinds even the bear paws which make my toes cold after awhile of wear and always go back to UGGs. ❤️
That’s my concern too... only Ugg’s keep my feet warm👍🏼
Agree 100%! Nothing compares to UGGs
Agree
I have a 10 year old pair of Uggs!! Love them!! I treated them before worn and retreat them every year. They are great and have lasted. I also use the cleaner and boot brush.
I got the Bearpaw uggs at Ross I've had them four year or so and love them for them for 28 dollars!
I’ve had my Uggs for years. I wear them inside the house. No longer made in Australia. Originally worn by surfers on the beach. Never meant to be winter boots. Quality has deteriorated over the years.
For a sec i was like why you say ugh? But then i realized you meant ugg 😂
You can still get Aus made Uggs. australianuggboots.com.au
I've had one pair of mine for 10 years. They still are great and I wear them all the time in the winter. I've just need to change the insole a few times. Love uggs
I've had two pairs (one grey set, one black set) of knockoff uggs from Target for the past 5 years and I love them. They still look brand new even though I wear them daily throughout every winter. I paid less than $25 for each pair at the time. If they ever wear out, I will buy another set of the knockoffs.
Want a nice shearling? Go with Born. The Nome or the Yuma are my pick!
I have bear paws boots.. I find them really comfortable!
Ugg has a sister company that is called Koolaburra by Ugg which is basically Ugg's at half the cost for the same boots. I have a pair and I really love them. I got a pair for my daughter and granddaughter and they love them too. They are soft, warm and great to run errans in.
I have a pair of bearpaw and I love them had them for years
I’ve got Uggs but prefer the Kirkland brand sold by Costco. They have a memory foam sole under the shearling so are far more comfortable. I had an early pair of Bear Paws that had faux fur: they made my feet sweat which created a really cold foot. Buy a couple of pairs of Kirklands and you’ll still spend less than the Uggs, have a couple of different looks and have very comfortable, warm boots.
My UGGs still look brand new, I got them in 2015, I wear them all winter ❄️
Also Koolaburra... they are from UGG but cheaper and have some cute styles.
Just bought a new pair of UGGS. I have bought them over the years; I think they have cheapened the product and I was disappointed, they felt less plush, and cheap. Not as big of a fan as I used to be.
I honestly do not care for that style of boot. It’s never been my thing.
Don’t put them on your feet, then. Since I did, I’ve abandoned high fashion footwear, completely!
so why are u here
I have had my Ugg’s for 8-9 years and they look brand new still.
Did the inner ankle of your Ugg’s start to slouch or have your boots kept their structure well??
@@cynthia6514 no slouching or anything. They still look perfect.
@@wendyhull4526 Thank you so much, about to order mine now :)
@@cynthia6514 you won’t be disappointed. They are so comfortable. When mine get a little dirty I just use a soft brush on them.
Absolutely love my ALL my pairs of Uggs! I still have a pair I have had for more than 20 years of the boots I have, but I make sure not to wear them on the warmer slushier days. Living in Canada I make sure to wear them on much colder days where it isn't slushier, I have my Ugg rain boots for those days. As well I make sure to clean and water treat them every winter season helping with keeping them looking new. I have only worn through a single pair in the 30 plus years I have been buying Uggs and those lasted me ten years themselves, but I truly believe if they are taken care of regularly they will last an extremely long time to get your money's worth out of them.
That being said, there are some decent cheaper replicas that can do you just as well.
Great comparison! I love the close up shots to really see the difference in quality! If you're going to continue to review shoes, can you please look into proper terminology? It would help you to describe the parts of the shoes you're talking about (outsole instead of platform, heel counter instead of heel material, lining vs upper etc). Rose Anvil here on TH-cam taught me terminology and it's helped me as a consumer for sure!
I have Bearpaw. I love them.
Love my original Ugg’s, mine have the Metal Ugg ‘tag’ on the back, no cloth tag ... just got a pair of KoolaBurra by Ugg at Kohl’s for $55 they’re equally as cute and seem comfortable too (have only had them a few days now)
I have the Koolaburras and love them! They're my go-to shoe even without snow!
My UGGs have a suede leather label on the back.
Yess Bear Paw's are the best! Cozy and durable. Excellent for DRY, cold conditions. They look so cute with jeans and cozy sweater when u need to run errands. Ugg has a cheaper version called Koolabura that are sold at Kohl's and they are excellent too🖤
I know I'm 11 months late to this thread, and didn't want to read through 300 comments, but....Ugh owns Bearpaws. Food for thought.
Can’t beat a Bearpaw, they last forever, are warm and weather resistant. The size in Bearpaw are on point. I have UGG’s and Bearpaw and the Bearpaw is just as comfortable as the uGG’s.
Love Uggs. So warm and comfortable. I was sold with my first pair. Have 13 pairs. The waterproof ones are great in snow. Worth the money.
I’ve owned 3 pairs of ugg boots and they are so comfortable !!
You need to buy the spray to keep them protected and lasts longer but they are definitely NOT snow ❄️ proof regardless if you spray them or not !!
Don’t go skiing or snowboarding or snow shoeing with them !!
They made a newer version of the ugg boots now that is waterproof or rain 🌧 boots !! I plan on getting them when my old ugg boots wear out !!
I have a few different pairs of uggs and I love them. I have had one pair for about 8 - 10 years and I have worn that pair the most out of all of the pairs I have. Probably worn them at least 2 days a week. I am only just thinking that they are looking a bit shabby. UGG boots are definitely worth the money in my opinion. The cheaper versions that I’ve seen other people wear always end with their heel going over the. It heel when they walk and look terrible.
Uggs are definitely the best! A suede protector and brush can keep them looking new for years. The soles last years & I walk alot. Wear them autumn to winter but not in bad snow as they aren't waterproof.
Australia makes the brand Emu Ugg’s now that are great I had a pair lasted years and years .
I stopped at Famous Footwear to test out Bearpaw vs. Koolaburra by Ugg. I definitely love the feel of Bearpaw it was closest to the feel of Uggs. It's does have some weight to it but I feel it is not a problem to me. I did not like Koolaburra's to be honest. I had expecations to like them but didn't. Here's why I favored Bearpaws: if you live in the northern MidWest states (Minnesota where Im from) Bearpaw is where it's at. It's plushier and if you happen to stomp in some snow, you wouldn't feel seepage of moisture. Koolaburra's are best if you live in the Southern/warmer climate states and not as plushy and not-as-heavy feelingas a lot of the positive reviews I've read. Still an excellent boot, just depends where you are during the winter months! I've own black Uggs previously so I can attest to that!
If you did a wear/sweat test you would have found that your feet do not sweat in the Uggs.
thats good to know! I had a fam member who had always wore knock offs of them and she had the stinkiest feet alllllll winter long, could clear a room just having her feet or her boots in a room!
I love my UGGs, well worth every cent! Those who don't like them haven't tried them, because they are LUXURIOUS on the feet! I wear mine with a thin, cotton sock, but they are designed to be worn without socks.
Edit; 2nd winter in my UGGs, and they still look like new, barely any wear on the sole, the lining is still fluffy, comfy, and warm, and I'm still wearing them everywhere...
The flip flops of winter! I had a pair of Bearpaws for 10 years, worn throughout the winter all those years. Just bought a second pair last winter. They're for function, not for fashion 😆
You are precious! I just ordered my first pair today. I went with the Neumel. Finally I can be cool too!lol
I love your videos!
I’m obsessed w my ugg collection but I’ll only buy from the official site for the exact reasons she was talking about
Absolutely loveee my Uggs they are definitely worth the price and last for many years. You would think the bottom of the boots wouldn’t wear good but I can insure you they do I’ve had a pair for 6 years and the bottom of the boots still looks great!
None of these are the real Australian Ugg Boots. The name was taken by US company who produces them in Asia which has lowered original quality somewhat. You can still buy real deal in Australia where quality is still consistent & you'll have them for years.
I feel Uggs are worth the price. I would rather pay $170 once than $35 every year because they didn’t hold up to normal wear and tear. My first pair I bought In the early 2000s still look brand new and I wear them a lot! I recently bought the ultra min and tazmans and I know they will be around for a long time
Thank goodness UGG boots are lighter. I live in a very cold snowy area and after walking around all day, you don't want a very heavy boot. The ones I like best are the waterproof ones.
With that hat all i can hear is YEE HAW 🤠😂😂😂 also when u say it like slippers.....ummm most boots r like that 😂
I have an older original pair of baby blue uggs which I love. You can purchase waterproofing spray which I recommend. Also using a suede brush helps to keep them looking clean and not matted. They will last longer if you give these tips a try!
I have had Bearpaw's and uggs. The heel area deteriorate very quickly in the bearpaws within a few weeks of wearing. It caused massive blistering even with socks, and wouldn't protect even with waterproofing when shoveling because it would pool right in the creases. I've had uggs in the classic style with a foam type bottom and a rubber bottom and the rubber bottom is still going strong 6+ years later. I bought another pair that are more for winter and I love both pairs.
I love my Uggs. The 1st day I tried them on they were on sale and I'd been on my feet all day. I put them on and they felt like heaven. I haven't tried Bear Paw yet. Considering though.
I have both a pair of copy Uggs from Aldo purchased about a decade ago that really held up and a pair of real Uggs (the taller type with buttons on the side). I will issue this warning, since you talked about wearing Uggs on slushy days - they are not waterproof. I wore mine to go to work on a day where the weather was really mild, turning the snow to slush, and when I got to the office, my feet were soaked! So word to the wise, those are better suited for actual snow and colder days. The soles are also very slippery whenever the ground turns icy.
I've went through Uggs and Bearpaw... for the money... the Sorel In and Out Bootie has been my fav and lasted the longest.
I have the UGG boots I didn’t pay the retail price. I was able to purchase them in the market place in Facebook and cleaned them and sealed them. I am so happy with them. I love love love them. I live in North Alabama so I don’t have the slushy winters it here places have.
LOVE my UGGs!! I’ve had mine 5 years and they’re the only boots that keep my feet warm here in the central NY snow. I also wear them outside in the Spring and Summer working in my garden and my feet don’t sweat and they barely look worn. The sole is very sturdy with a good tread and helps to avoid slipping in the snow. My UGGs have a metal label on the back heel so I wonder if the quality has slipped? But I recently bought a few other styles and they feel just as comfy, warm and well made...so not sure.
I rock bearpaw 4 years. I suppose I could buy Uggs but I've been satisfied with my bp's
They are pricey but I think they’re worth it. My husband doesn’t like the looks of it either but I forced him to try it on and he understood why I am into it lol It’s warm and comfy plus so easy to put on when in a hurry. 👌
I have a air of Ugg’s that are 30 years old. I just found a brand new pair of 170.00 Ugg’s at a consignment store for 35.00 yay. They are different. The footbed on the newer Ugg’s is not removable but the older ugg is removable, they are also put together differently.
You want to get your UGGs from UGG Australia since 1974. They are handmade in Australia and have a warranty, you can replace the inner sole. I don’t know where she got hers.
I own several pairs of Uggs. You’re supposed to wear them without socks, and you usually need to go one size smaller than what you usually wear.
I have the Universal Thread boots. I live in a small town in Alabama & we rarely get snow, so they work for me.
I have 3 or of uggs boots and love them all! Great comparison video. Thank you.
I have had my uggs for almost 9 years and they still haven't fallen apart. I definitely try not to walk in deep snow with them or the rain.
I love ugg boots
UGG does have some styles that aren't so boxy. I have the driver/slippers with lots of rhinestones on the top, some tall ones that have some shape to them and fur & sheerling, and the classic but in grey with rhinestones and I think it's called Karina style. Don't wear socks with them and you'll stay warmer. The design is basically, you're home, barefoot, and ya gotta run out, ya pop 'em on and stay toasty warm. LOL I always heavily coat mine with protection spray and it's been ions now in snow and gunk and they look brand new still. If I'm gonna be walking in the store for an hr, I probably wouldn't wear them, but perfect for running errands and such. I got some sheerling insoles online for them that have arch support and put a pair in each of the ones I have (I have 4 pair) and they are pretty much indestructible and it's impossible to have cold feet in them. I've never found a 'dupe' pair that kept my feet warm, including Bear Paw. BTW, never wear a pair of Uggs outside before dousing them with waterproof protection spray before 1st wear and they'll last forever.
Had my UGGS for 12 years. Look new as long as you clean them right. I live in Chicago and wear mine all winter long. For the best comfort wear UGGS barefoot.
