Anyone tried the Costco knock off uggs?

[mrsklamc]

Don't really love the look of uggs but co-worker keeps talking about how it's like wearing slippers to work and THAT does appeal.

They are great. Warm, soft, waterproof. I love them.

how much are they? The closest COSTO is over an hour away but for the right price I'd my sister to pick them up for me and get them when I see her at Christmas

I just saw the FUggs at Costco yesterday and was not particularly impressed. Everything was ... thin. The sole, the outside suede, the inside shearling ... all were pretty thin. My DD has real Uggs and there is no comparison. Of course, there is no comparison in price either . I think it is fair to compare them to other FUggs and even then they come up short. I bought my DD a pair of BearPaws Talls at TJ Maxx for $39 last week and the Bear Paws are also thicker and studier for just a little bit more than the Costco FUggs. BTW, no suede Uggs or FUggs are waterproof. You need to spray them and even once you do "waterproof" is a matter of opinion.

My daughter got a pair of the Costco Fuggs last Christmas and she loves them. They still look really nice and the inside shearling is still quite soft. I wouldn't call them thin at all. They are nice and light however. We sprayed them with a waterproofer made for suede and they've held up very well. They're 1/4 to 1/3 the price of real Uggs and Uggs are not 3 to 4 times better. We've more than gotten our moneys worth, especially since this DD is not at all brand conscious yet.

Glad to hear this. I'm getting them from my parents for Christmas.

They were $36.99 at our Costco.

They must be different this year than in the past if what you saw were thin, PP. The pairs I have are truly exactly like the true Uggs. Minus the label, I wouldn't be surprised if they were made by Uggs. I have found Cole-Hahn men's shoes there before with a Kirland sticker on the box. They work out great deals.

My feet never got wet outside for hours in out very deep snow last year.

I just bought a pair last week. In my house there are Uggs, Emus, Costco, Bearpaws and Target Fuggs. IMO, the Costco brand are not as nice as Uggs or Emus but way nicer than Bearpaws or Target Fuggs. I cannot speak to long term wear yet but they seem worth $37.

Bought the Costco brand a couple months ago and am finally getting some use out of them. I have a pair of Ugg brand and these are exactly the same, to me. Made in China from Australian shearling, just like Ugg brand. Very thick inside, same type of sole as Ugg. I love them, and for $37, I may get another color. I did see they had kid ones last week too.

I own three pairs...some for more than two years. Adore them. They wear like iron, and are quite comfortable and warm...even in the bitter cold MN winters. I recommend them highly...especially when compared to the price of the Uggs. I doubt that my three pairs together cost the same as a single pair of Uggs.

And, look at it this way, if you don't care for them, take them back for a full refund.

Well worth the risk in my opinion.

Yes, steer clear of the Bear Paws. Not soft snuggley suede and the soles are thin on those.

Whatever . Obviously our experiences are different. The BearPaws I just bought were much nicer than the Costco FUggs I saw this weekend.

I'm not commenting on the boots but the name. I don't know about anyone else but when I was growing up Fugly meant something and that directly where my mind went when I read the name Fuggs. How did they not come across that while doing market research

 

[CaFeeney]

I bought the Costco boots for my DD for $19... let's just say that we are very happy with the boots, they look cute with skirts and tights and are very warm and comfy.
No need to pay $80 for a pair of boots for a 4 year old, JMHO.

They are great quality - matter of fact, we did a side by side comparison last year between my pair of Costco uggs and a colleague's real thing - she was blown away at the quality for the cost and there were very few differences. As soon as they hit the store this year I took her with me and she bought a couple pairs in different colors. Says they feel the same as her Uggs on the inside and she saved tons of money.

I myself wore my one pair last year nearly everyday they were so comfortable and bought another pair this year, too.

For $40, I think they're fantastic. And remember that with Costco, if you decide against them you can return them at anytime.

They aren't called Fuggs by the store - that is just something people call Fake Uggs for short

I think the box says shearling boots.

I can't believe that some people refer to these with that name, considering what it means around here........I had to giggle a little to myself, and then wonder if they knew what it really means

Anyhow, back on subject. I actually just returned my DD's 'costco uggs' because she got them in black and the dye rubbed off on everything on the inside (feet/tights). I offered to get her the natural color, but she declined because she didn't think they were that comfy anyway.

how do they run width wise? I have wider feet and having a hard time finding any that I can fit in.

I have wide width and narrow heel and I tried these on the other day and the 1/2 size up fit fine. I'm an 8.5 and the 9 fit me.

They stretch to fit the foot. I have a wide foot and they fit very comfortably.
