Lol..why does Weston not know a thing about the Muggs? He didn't know the leather (kudu) or that the new ones are V3? 😅😂 I mean...not that hard to read your own press release ;)
My Costco sells the Ugg side-by-side with the Kirkland version. Everyone speculates Kirkland contracts their brand to whatever factory makes the name brand on their shelf. It would be nice to see these versions on a face off.
It has been my theory for years. Between my daughter and I, we have 6 pairs of Uggs. I also have a pair of the Kirkland ones. I 100% believe Ugg produces them for Costco. The feel and the stitching is incredibly similar. It is typically how retail works. Generic brands are almost always produced by the name brand companies.
Perfect timing! I am in the market for shearling pull-on boots and knew from your original video that Uggs weren't worth the price. Thank you for your detailed analysis and inspection! Now I can make and informed choice. Great work! ❤️ - Marisa
Girl UGG boot lover here (and PSL lover too lol), thank you for confirming what I've always suspected: those Bearpaws are crap!! I've always seen people recommend them as a cheaper alternative and I'm like yeah, they look and feel cheap. The best value UGG-type boots are probably the ones from Costco that you can get for ~$30-40 every year, depending on the style. I will say I have worn branded UGGs for years now and they do last pretty well (make sure to waterproof them), but I would never pay full price. If you're not picky about color, wait until the spring sales and pick them up for 50% off. AVOID the "UGGpure" ones though - they're not real sheepskin and not worth the $$$.
I bought a pair of Bearpaws about 10 years ago and I loved them. I used them for 6-7 years before the wool in the heel wore away. I don't know if the quality went down or if crappy pairs are just as functional but I had no complaints. I also wear their slippers and get a solid 2 years out of them before the wool wears away, which seems good to me.
Thanks for the info! Would love to see comparisons between Australian brands for people wanting to pay for "authentic" but being unsure which to get. (Or other quality competitors.)
I actually got a pair from American Eagle and they were quite comfortable. For the price I felt they were a good value although they are from 2009. Bear Paw is a good brand and I now have multiple pairs.
I do not want to wear uggs or buy any of these shoes but I'm watching all your new uploads because this content is super interesting. I want to be a leather expert like you some day, Weston. It'd be so cool to make things like knife pouches and watch straps out of leather.
For me the softness also matters a lot and the fit. Uggs used to be exquisitely soft and fluffy years ago plus the shape is a bit nicer than some of the traditional dumpy uggs..lol. Which I think is why the brand took off in the first place. The pair I just bought are only kind of soft on the bottom and the rest is a bit scratchy. They are well made, but cost more than they used to and definitely are not worth what they cost today. The Bearpaw boots I have are very soft, but the shaft is a little too wide for me making them awkward to walk in so they sit brand new in my closet. I would still try another pair of a different style from that brand. I like Emu Australia a lot and they are warmer than any boots I've ever had. Still pricey, but worth it more than the Ugg brand today. I've had other brands as well that were marketed as made with suede or sheepskin and fur, but probably were not. Yet, they were still very soft and held up well.
I bought some combed wool from a yarn shop with the intention of adding it to the worn down parts of mine, but never actually did it because I wasn't sure how to proceed. Hope someone has some ideas.
@@kellyrenee77 I ended up just washing it and then using a pet style brush to fluff up the wool which I figured would help it better trap air again, seems to have worked well
My girlfriend loves these shoes. I’m gonna get her a pair of wild wool. I hope she likes them. She has a bunch of uggs boots and shoes. Nice to see uggs are decent quality though.
Bojorndal is my favorite ugg type boots. Minnetonkas are good too. Bojorndal are European made. Bear Paws are ok too. Size down with Bear Paws. I put Uggs on once, and we're shocked at how cheap they are.
I bought a pair from walmart for my sister's birthday in May, she absolutely loved them and wore them almost every day. They were terrible quality, in my opinion, but she still has them, and they are almost completely destroyed.
You're obviously talking about Kmart "ugg" boots. Which are made in china crap like the two pairs Weston says are garbage. Real Aussie UGGS are available widely if you look for them.
@@mCblue79 I actually meant the target ones which are actually very good quality considering, but yeah, you're right that they're "made in china" (sri lanka actually but I know what you're saying) but all the "Australian uggs" that are "widely available" are also cheaply made overseas. Good quality, Australian made ugg boots are very expensive and reasonably difficult to come across
I own a lot of Uggs because I buy 2 each year, and I just bought uggie type booties from Amazon for 30 dollars lol I beat up my uggs so I needed booties that I can beat up and it wouldn’t hurt my Ugg loving heart
I'm dying to make my own pair, does anyoe know where I can get a pattern for UGGs? I have some thin vibram soles that glow in the dark, then I will be using 2 layers of veg, single face medical grade shearling with some lovely full grain oily pull up facing out.
Minnetonka has been going downhill for quite some time. Everything is made in China by low grade materials. But, they still are charging a high price for being stylish . Dirty Harry said it the best...
When I was in Australia earlier this year it was a culture shock learning how they view Uggs and the American brand. They use the word Uggs as shearling slippers in general. I don't buy sheepskin or fur at all anymore (even though I buy leather shoes... baby steps) but I actually considered buying some made in Australia ugg slippers
@7:33 😂 "Bear Paw... It smelled like cancer, honestly".. wow that's truth. Chemicals introduced to cells in the body causing malignancy of cancer cells is exactly why I try to stay away from refined processed junk "food", sunscreen, etc.
You stay away from sunscreen? Please consider a mineral alternative with zinc or titanium. Nothings gonna enter your body there, if you don’t rub it into your wounds.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the majority of RA's audience is from the US. Probably significantly so. Otherwise, you're already on the internet, it isn't that hard to convert weights & measures. That's what I do when I watch content from european channels after all...
@@RyTrapp0 people outside the US think we don't know the metric system because we don't use it but we all learn how to convert to metric in school. Maybe they should learn in school how to convert to standard/imperial or as you stated use the internet
i’m not sure how it is for sheep, but 99% of the leather market is harvested from leftovers from the meat and dairy industry. very few animals are ever slaughtered for their hides. And just because something is made of fur or leather doesn’t mean it’s animal cruelty, it could actually be saving potential waste.
@@Cstil18Sheepskin is a byproduct of the meat industry. If the skins weren't used, they would just go to waste. And omg, there's no such thing as a synthetic that's as good as real sheepskin. Obviously you've never tested both of them in 0°F weather!!!!! Synthetics are not even remotely in the same class.

That thumbnail, though, lmfaoooo.
The insole for wildwool looks so much more lush. That’s the key to a great Ugg boot for me.
“Texel” is the best brand Ugg Made in the Netherlands from Dutch sheep. 🐑

@@RyTrapp0very cool
bought a Costco one for £20ish or 30ish？ great quality, keep my feet warm, extreme durable!
😂Weston...I watched one of your very old videos from the days when you had hair like in the thumbnail!!!🤣😂🤣
The thumbnail is fantastic haha
I was surprised to miss the ‘Ugg from 1974’ brand in the mix
Can you test the EMU Australia sheepskin boots?

How would you refresh shearling on the inside of a boot after a few years of use?

Yeah I’m sticking with UGG since 1974. For others who haven’t seen the other video WildWool IS UGG Since 1974
Wildwool is actually slightly cheaper when I looked at the same boot so go with that one
UGGs are a fake chinese made rip off. If it doesn't say "Made in Australia" somewhere, it isn't a real ugg boot.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan look up UGG since 1974. They ARE made in Australia. :D
@@tomboymjr Sorry I thought you meant the US owned UGG brand (Chinese made knock offs).
@@goodshipkaraboudjan I call them China Uggs
finally the real ugg video
Would you take a look at the Sams Club/ members mark brand style Ugg’s and the Costco Kirkland style Ugg and compare them.

Just ordered Aussie UGG from Australia. Made in Australia, $140 (US) shipping is inclusive.
I bought a pair from walmart for my sister's birthday in May, she absolutely loved them and wore them almost every day. They were terrible quality, in my opinion, but she still has them, and they are almost completely destroyed.
Which ones are the widest toebox?
How come you didn't make your muggs with a proper toe box? I'd love a pair, but they look way too narrow and pointy.
I was wondering what my next nightmare was going to be, then I saw that thumbnail.
That thumbnail is effing fantastic haha XD
I'll send you my 80's Uggs. The quality of Sheepskin is miles better.
Can you review Thursday boots high top sneakers and their leather jackets?
Girls still 100% care about the brand. They’ll pick UGGs a million times over even if the quality gets as bad as the bearpaws
Gotta buy little ugg branding and sew it on a no name ez.
These are crazy expensive even for the cheaper options. In Australia we can grab different Ugg named boots for
Where are you shopping? The cheapest ugg boots are from Kmart and they're $50

It's Laterally almost UGG season here in the North
Liked for the thumbnail, 100% modern art.
That cupsole should look really good in Honey pra gum! Do It! Muhuhaha!
Mi Woolies out of New Zealand are the best ugg style boots i've ever tried, this comes from an australian. lol
Could you make a video about New Balance 574?
Could you find any not made in China? Also Costco made an Ugg as well.
Wild Wool is made in Australia
How much do we need to pay on patreon for you to afford a nail touch up before filming?
Love my Muggs 2.0
Minnetonka has been going downhill for quite some time. Everything is made in China by low grade materials. But, they still are charging a high price for being stylish . Dirty Harry said it the best...
my UGGs are made in Australia. I didn't know some were made in China, but that should be a red flag
they just need to make some blue ones and do a crossover with dragonball, because thats all i see when looking at them
Still no Emu Australia to compare? Tsk.
That thumbnail 😂😂😂
thank you!
