I have always wondered that these companies make 1000s of different models…do they put effort in each of their shoes?
They advertise even in mid range models that they are using this "tech".

But is it true?

Hi everyone!

Greetings from Washington, USA! My girlfriend has always wanted UGGs and specifically talked about how the "UGGs from Australia" are better than the US version. Just as we were about to buy some, we heard the news about the branding change. Apparently, they lost the rights to the UGG name in the US, and all products shipped internationally will now have the 74 logo instead. (Apologies if I’m not getting the full story right!)

Is there any way I can buy authentic UGGs from Australia and have them shipped to the US with the original logo? Maybe someone can order and ship them to their home and then forward them to me? Of course, I will pay for them and a little extra for taking the responsibility. Is there a safe way to do it? Or is there a specific subreddit or method I could try?

It would be such a cool surprise for her to get the authentic Australian version. Any advice is appreciated—thanks!

I am looking for a pair of waterproof/resistant shoes for a cruise in February. I have a pair of the Target brand knock off birkenstock rubber/plastic shoes and I also ordered a pair of the Birkenstock Arizona plastic/rubber shoes but the problem I am running into is both the Target and Birkenstocks squeak like crazy when I wear them. I think it’s because I have a very pronounced arch. Looking for ideas on good shoes to wear back and forth to the pool and at the beach for our trip in 18 days.

TIA!

Eclyptix 2000 or Run 70s 2.0 (both are adidas) I’m going to be walking around 10k+ steps a day so I need comfy and cute shoes.

I've been having some trouble finding lace-up walking shoes that are comfortable, and I'm seeking advice.

I'm not quite sure how to describe the issue except to say that my feet seem to need more vertical space inside the shoe, although the length and width are appropriate and comfortable. My feet don't seem especially "tall" (for lack of a better word), but when I'm wearing shoes, it feels like the upper surface is pressing down on the top of my feet in a way that causes me discomfort or even pain.

Are there features or specifications I should look for when I'm buying? Particular brands that might be better? (My most recent purchase was Rockport and I had to return them after wearing them for two full days.) Is there a more technical way to describe the issue I'm facing?
