I bought these for my niece who so unselfishly wrote on her birthday wish list "knock-off uggs" because she knew her parents couldn't afford them. So I got her the real thing. They arrived within days of the order (very quick delivery) and her parents told me the first thing she did was check the label because she couldn't believe she got the real thing. And sure enough the label said "made in Australia". I guess that meant they were real. Best gift ever!
