If you’re buying sheepskin boots online do your research so you know what you’re getting.

I would have thought that the whole concept of a blog was the lack of journalism training required- its a voice for everyone, so I see no reason to criticise Leon’s work.

Those looking for an Ugg bargain may find themselves buying boots from online stores promising to send the sought after UGG Australia brand, only to end up with imitations made from cheaper synthetic alternatives to the quality lambswool used by brands such as UGG Australia and Love from Australia.

Twinned with the possibility of receiving something other than the UGG Australia brand you were expecting is it really worth it? Remember Ugg is a generic term in Australia, so companies down under can use the term for their products.
You’ll find hundreds of conversations on message boards (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=532039) and social networks about the much loved comfy boot – discussions on where to buy, how to spot fakes and which online stores are reputable are commonplace.

Your best bet is to buy from a UK based website; give them a call to check them out and see what’s said about them online. The community on the Moneysavingexpert (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=532039) forums seem to be clued up on the good and the bad online shoe stores.
Where will you be buying your Ugg boots from?
in response to anonymous who said they purchased Ugg boots from www.get-ugg.com. these are almost 100% likely to be fakes according to UGG australias website any website with the word ugg in the address is most certainly counterfeit:
http://www.uggaustralia.com/gb/retailstores/counterfeit.aspx
nowadays those making counterfeits have been able to make them almost identical to genuine ones and any much cheaper than the retail price should be big warning signs. So although your boots may seem real they will not be.
basically do not but from any website other than uggaustralia.com that has the word UGG in it in some form.
I will be buying mine from Office

Hi Anonymous, I’m unable to speak for other bloggers but I personally bypassed University to build up working experience, and therefore am free of any journalistic training as you have noticed.
If you are in the industry and have something to offer, you should perhaps consider applying to write a Drapers blog,Ugg Cardy, or maybe you could help the bloggers on here by making some positive suggestions to making our work better.
Do you have a blog? It would be great to see what you do in the industry and some of your thoughts – I personally like reading the opinions of others in the industry quite a lot.
