i took the boots on tues december 16 which is the day i received them to an authorized Uggs store in Las Vegas at the Caesars Palace Form shops. The manager working looked at them and right away stated they were counterfeit. The soles are hard and when i bend one sole of the boot it cracked in half authentic uggs soles a flexible so manager said to go on the uggs website and put the persons name in that's from ebay and report them.
