FAQs
What is the platform height of the UGG Astromel Platforms?
The UGG Astromel Platforms feature an approximately 2-inch (5cm) EVA midsole for an elevated stance.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
While the materials are durable, the suede and recycled textile upper is not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain and snow. We recommend treating the suede with a water-repellent spray designed for suede to offer some protection.
How do I care for the suede material on the Astromel Platforms?
Regularly brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. For stains, use a suede cleaner and eraser, following the product instructions carefully. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do the Astromel Platforms come with different laces?
Yes, each pair of UGG Astromel Platforms includes two sets of laces: satin laces for a fashion-forward look and flat ticked laces for a more traditional, secure fit.
What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
The upper is crafted from a blend of soft suede and recycled textile. The midsole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) for cushioning, and the outsole is synthetic for durability and grip.
Are the UGG Astromel Platforms true to size?
UGG footwear generally runs true to size. If you typically wear a half size, it is often recommended to size up for the best fit, especially with platform styles.
How do the Astromel Platforms differ from the UGG Lowmel sneakers?
The Astromel is a platform version of the Lowmel sneaker. It retains the signature UGG aesthetic and comfort but adds a significant 2-inch platform sole for an elevated, contemporary look, providing a distinct stylistic variation.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper appears dull or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush.
Laces feel loose or come untied frequently.
If you are using the satin laces, switch to the flat ticked laces for a more secure fit. Ensure laces are tied tightly and double-knot if necessary for added security.
Platform sole has visible scuff marks.
Gently clean the scuffed area with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For more persistent marks, a dedicated rubber or sneaker cleaner may be used, avoiding harsh abrasives.
Shoes feel less comfortable after extended wear.
Allow for a brief break-in period, as new shoes can sometimes feel stiff. Ensure you have the correct size. If needed, consider thin, arch-supporting insoles for additional comfort, though the EVA midsole is designed for cushioning.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your UGG Astromel Platforms, especially given the mixed materials:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality *suede protector spray* to guard against water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, gently brush the suede with a specialized *suede brush* to restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a *suede cleaner and eraser* kit. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Cleaning Recycled Textile: For the canvas portions, gently spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Blot dry.
- Cleaning Sole and Midsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and synthetic sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your platforms in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
