TRENDS come and go, but it seems Uggs will never go out of style as fashionistas are in love with the iconic Aussie shoe brand.
Whilst they might be everywhere on social media, one woman has warned against getting a cheaper version of the classic shoes.
Even more alarmingly, content creator Juliana didn’t get dupes of the sheepskin shoes but still ended up disappointed.
The Tiktok star revealed that she’d received the shoes for her birthday, after showing her loved ones that she could get them cheaper buying same size in the kids section.
Of course, her family used the money saving hack and bought her a pair of chestnut-coloured Kids’ Ugg Mini boots.
For those curious about how much money you could save by doing this, the average pair of adult Ugg minis costs roughly £165 – whereas the kids’ version will set you back only £110.
Whilst she was very grateful, the teen noticed a major difference in the kids’ shoes and later complained: “Why does nobody tell you this about Uggs?”
Speaking about this in a short video, she moaned: “I didn’t realise that they were different. So this is what nobody tells you.”
Showing the shoes to the camera, she revealed that the kids’ soles wasn’t as thick as the adults’.
“The sole is like… not, not too much, but it’s like a little bit thinner,” Juliana revealed to her 5,000 followers.
Though you might not think this makes much difference, it could mean that your shoes might wear out faster.
Juliana even admitted to measuring her new shoes and compared to other pairs of Uggs she owned.
“I compared these to my other ones that I have and it’s like a good like this much,” she demonstrated showing an inch with her fingers.
She added: “And it kind of makes a difference once it’s on.”
Though had thought the hack would be a shoe-in, the young woman did admit that there weren’t exactly as she’d hoped.
Despite insisting that she ‘still likes’ them, the influencer later revealed in that she exchanged them for an adult size.
However, many in the comments who had tried this hack weren’t off put by the difference in thickness.
One UGGs fan wrote: “Still love them, though. As someone who’s been wearing Uggs for over 20 years. They look like the old-school UGGS Australia originals.
“I just ordered the kids platform Uggs and didn’t realise they were slightly lower than women’s,” another admitted, revealing that they’d made the same mistake.
They didn’t seem too bother though, writing: “Never mind still saved me almost £80.”
Others were against using the money saving hack, as it could mean that the shoes don’t go the distance.
“I think kids’ sizes are generally lesser in quality since kids grow out kinda quickly so they’re not made to last as much,” suggested a third.
A fourth even argued that she never buys kids shoes because of this issue.
She commented: “Uggs are something I always buy in women sizes…everything else I buy kids.”
We wonder whether you will be brave enough to make use of this thrifty hack?
