For years now, authentic UGG products have been manufactured by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, which has factories in China, Vietnam, Cambodia, The Philippines, The Dominican Republic, and the U.S. If the label says the shoes are made in New Zealand or Australia, that is flashing warning sign of a fake.

What are UGG deckers?

Although Deckers' UGG-branded sheepskin boots are inspired by Australian ugg boot design, Deckers does not claim them to be ugg boots, instead claiming that the boots have been developed over the years to what Deckers term as the UGG-branded, "Classic" Californian-style sheepskin boot.

When did Deckers buy UGG?

Beginning with the acquisition of the UGG® brand in 1995 and continuing with Teva®, Sanuk®, HOKA ONE ONE® and Koolaburra by UGG® , Deckers Brands has grown each brand into a lifestyle leader through innovative design and passionate marketing.
