I have also had a chance to compare the original Ugg Australia brand 'Cardy' (http://www.themanufacturer.com.au/) and the Mark Stone Cardigans to see what the differences and similarities are.
Ugg Australia Cardy are the boots that everyone in Europe is mad about. If you are brand conscious then these are the boots for you. At $219.95 AU plus delivery they are expensive but this is the genuine article. These boots come with tags and in the genuine box by Ugg Australia. They are made in China but have that fluffy sheepskin inner that we love love love.
Cardigan by Mark Stone - are a style alike boot from Jumbo Ugg Boots. At $159 au plus delivery they are substantially cheaper but just as nice and still with the plush sheepskin inner we love.
So lets compare...
They look almost identical in colour and styling.
They are the same same sizing (I am a size 6 and both brands fit perfectly)
They are the same height and have the same number of buttons
The buttons have brand stamps - Ugg Australia OR Mark Stone
The soles are different as the genuine Ugg Australia is imprinted into the sole and the Mark Stone are generic.
And obviously the label on the back is different, and I think that the Ugg Australia sole is a slightly better match in colour but only slight.
**Note one has stuffing so it looks like it is wider but they are the same. It is just my poor photo.
Ugg Australia have a no exchange policy but the Mark Stone do offer exchange (see the web site)
It is also interesting that the American owners of Ugg Australia - Deckers Corp have now put a STOP on Aussies selling their boots outside of Australia - that means that if you are in the UK or US we will soon not be able to sell to you!!!
LUCKILY I have stock in my warehouse of both boots for a short time are are able to supply, but once I run out that's it!

Australia ugg
ugg.com.au is unreliable! I ordered 4 pairs of boots and only received 3 pairs. Initially they said they had shipped the 4th pair with the others, continued to chase and they promised to express ship the boots. After a month of chasing I emailed for time frame and they said they had no idea when they would be able to provide boots and gave me a refund. This is relatively useless as it was a mothers day gift and we are now 3 weeks late. Very disappointing. Terrible customer service who didn't notify of delays except when chased and never delivered the product.Do not buy from them if you want a reliable product. Also the sizes are wrong as the men's size 8 was a size smaller then the women's 9.
I bought a pair of the Mark Stone knitted boots after reading this review. I got them from a different seller, and after wearing them for about 30 mins, I noticed my feet were getting a bit sore across the top. Well, I persevered but after wearing them all day, my feet really ached that night. I wore them again the next day with the same result. I was a bit stressed because they had cost a lot of money and now I was seriously considering giving them away. But I decided to try something first. I put my hand in, right to the toes and noticed there was some sort of lining that was a bit tight across the foot area, it restricted movement. So, I got hold of some very small embroidery scissors, and used these to cut this lining out.Yay, now they are comfy and lovely. Thank goodness.
