UGG/Swarovski Boots Show City Love

Filed under: Shoes

Last year we brought you news of the UGG Australia-Jimmy Choo boots collaboration. Now the popular boots that many love (and some love to hate) are available in new city-centric versions. These new UGG Australia boots are emblazoned with Swarovski crystals for major markets. Shown above is the New York City version with a glittery skyline but there are also versions for London, Miami, LA, Vegas and Washington D.C. shown in the gallery below. The limited edition boots cost $800-$900 and can only be purchased at the UGG Australia stores in those cities.

Are Your UGGs Fake? A 'Made in Australia' Tag Means YES

Filed under: Shoes

Even if you consider yourself a savvy shopper capable of spotting a fake a mile away you might want to double-check your favorite UGGs, some of the counterfeits up for sale lately are more than a little convincing.

The tricky part is that the latest UGG knock-offs aren't made of chintzy materials or with poor technique -- they actually have some quality behind them. Both boots pictured here are made of quality sheepskin with reinforced seams. They're both heavy, comfortable, and substantial boots. The only obvious difference is in the logo -- the overly large one on right marks the black boot as the imposter.

So how to tell if you've got the genuine article or have been duped with a knockoff? Besides the logo we've got four other telltale signs to look for in the gallery below, courtesy of the WSJ.

Filed under: Shoes

Two iconic brands have come together in what at first blush might sound like an unlikely collaboration but is actually quite inspired: UGG Australia and Jimmy Choo. The limited edition collection takes the best of both worlds for a result that's comfortable, functional and beautiful. There are no platforms or stilettos, only the familiar silhouette of UGG's famous sheepskin boot, glammed up with studs and fringe in pretty colors and intricate patterns that make each pair an individual work of art. Available for pre-order now, see some of the new styles in the gallery below and let us know which one strikes your fancy as a favorite (I'm in love with this one).

There are two styles for women, the Sundance Limited Edition ($350) and the Ultra Short LE ($275). The men also get an Ultra Short LE ($275). All styles come in UGG's signature color, Chestnut, with dark brown soles. The boots are hand-crafted from Grade-A sheepskin and feature an iconic braid pattern designed just for this collection. Each boot is individually numbered for authenticity.
