UGG Classic Mini Platform Boots - Brown - 8 UK

No, these boots are not waterproof. The suede upper is sensitive to water and can stain or become damaged. We highly recommend applying a quality suede and sheepskin protector spray to help repel light moisture and stains, but avoid heavy rain or snow.

UGG Classic Mini Platform Boots generally run true to size. If you are typically a half size, it's often recommended to size up for the most comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear socks. The sheepskin lining will also compact and mold to your foot over time.

SugarSole™ is an innovative and sustainable EVA foam used in the outsole. It's made from renewable sugarcane, offering the same lightweight cushioning and durability as traditional EVA, but with a reduced reliance on petroleum-based materials, lessening its environmental impact.

While the sheepskin lining is naturally breathable and helps regulate temperature, these boots are primarily designed for warmth in colder climates. They may be too warm for comfortable wear in spring or summer temperatures.

To clean the interior lining, use a specialized UGG cleaner and conditioner or a gentle wool/sheepskin specific shampoo. Dilute the cleaner as directed, apply sparingly, and gently blot. Avoid saturating the lining. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.

The platform is designed to be stable and comfortable. While it adds height, the boots maintain a balanced feel. They may feel slightly different than flat boots initially, but most users adapt quickly. They are well-suited for everyday walking on even surfaces.

The suede upper can be delicate. For dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off surface particles. For water spots, allow the boots to dry naturally, then use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner kit is recommended, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Reapply a protector spray after cleaning.

Ensure your socks are not too thick, as this can compress the sheepskin lining and reduce its insulating properties. If the lining is matted down from wear, use a sheepskin brush to fluff it up. For extreme cold, check if the boots are wet or if an additional thin thermal insole might be needed if space allows.

New UGG boots, especially those with a platform sole, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house. The sheepskin lining will naturally mold to the shape of your feet and compact slightly over time, enhancing comfort.

While the SugarSole™ EVA outsole provides good traction, any footwear can be slippery on ice or very wet surfaces. Exercise caution on such terrains. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris that could reduce grip.
