FAQs
What materials are the UGG Astromel Platforms made from?
The upper is constructed from a blend of suede, nylon, and recycled textile. The footbed features a cushioned EVA material.
What is the height of the platform?
The UGG Astromel Platforms feature a boosted 2" (5 cm) platform.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede and textile components, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray for light protection.
How do I clean the platform sole?
The platform sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
Can I use my own laces with the Astromel Platforms?
Yes, the shoes are designed with multiple lacing opportunities, allowing you to use other compatible laces if you wish to further personalize your style.
Are UGG Astromel Platforms true to size?
UGG shoes generally run true to size. We recommend referring to the UGG size guide for the most accurate fit information. This specific model is a UK 6.5.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or discoloured.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and colour. For deeper issues, a specialized suede cleaner may be needed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces constantly come untied.
Ensure you are using the flat ticked laces for a more secure knot. Try a double knot or a different lacing technique for improved retention.
Shoes feel unstable due to the platform.
Take time to get accustomed to the 2" platform. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, and practice walking on various surfaces to build confidence. Avoid running or strenuous activities.
General dirt accumulation on the upper.
For nylon and textile areas, wipe gently with a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.
Not sure how to style with the satin laces.
The satin laces are designed for a 'fashion moment.' Pair them with more intentional outfits like tailored trousers, midi dresses, or sophisticated casual wear to elevate your look.

- Streetwear: Cargo pants, hoodies, and bomber jackets.
- Elevated Casual: Midi skirts, slip dresses, or tailored trousers with the satin laces.
Consider the *brown colour family* for warm, earthy tones in your wardrobe, or to add a neutral grounding to brighter colours. The platform design offers a contemporary edge to almost any casual ensemble.
Care
Proper care will preserve the look and feel of your Astromel Platforms. The upper is made of a combination of suede, nylon, and recycled textile.
- Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a quality waterproofing and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and textiles. Follow product instructions carefully.
- Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, gently brush with a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear. *Do not rub aggressively.* Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning Nylon/Textile: For general dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap (if necessary) and gently wipe. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry completely if they get wet. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape.
