The receipt indicated that the boots were manufactured at a plant listed as "M L K" located in Shanghia, China. However my credit card was billed by uggfurboots.com Putian, China. I spelled that incorretly on the original report. I now have bought genuine (Decker) Ugg australia classic short boots from an authorized UGG store where I live. I paid about $97 US for the fakes on uggfurboots.com, and got kid's size boots from the Feet First store for $99. I highly recommend going to the Ugg australia website, and checking the list of stores that they distribute to so no one gets scammed by companies like uggfurboots.com. Once they see that people are on to their scam, they will probably change their name, so don't be fooled. Most of the time the website has no phone number, address, or even a location listed. If you try to contact them, your e-mail will get bounced back because they don't want anyone attempting to return the products (not to mention the fact that they probably don't speak or read English.--This is indicative of the poor grammar and spelling on the website.) I also forgot to mention that the day after I ordered my boots, their website went down for an entire day, and when it came back up I was not able to acess my order because it didn't recognize my user name and password. I have to say that the fakes are not horrible, although the fur liner is absolutely not sheepskin and is not as padded with it in the inner sole. For adult size boots, the shaft is the same size as the genuine kid's size (about 2-3 inches shorter than the UGG classic women's should be), and the sand shade is a bit darker in color than the genuine ones that I now have. Most poor fakes that I have read about are very obvious, but these are not--right down to the little "R"'s on the sole. But they were also very expensive for not being real UGGs. I ended up giving them to my daughter, but have learned a valuable, albeit expensive, lesson as an American consumer.
