UGG Classic Mini Dipper Boots - Black - Size: 5

While the boots offer warmth, the premium suede material is sensitive to water. It is highly recommended to pre-treat your boots with a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede and sheepskin. Avoid heavy saturation in rain or snow to preserve their appearance and longevity.

For best results, use an UGG-specific care kit or products designed for suede and sheepskin. Gently clean spots with a damp cloth and specialized cleaner, then rinse lightly. Always air dry away from direct heat. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.

UGG boots generally run true to size, but the dense sheepskin lining can make them feel snug initially. The lining will compress and mold to your foot after a few wears, providing a comfortable, custom fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up.

Wearing socks is a personal preference. Many people choose to wear UGG boots barefoot to fully experience the natural warmth and moisture-wicking properties of the sheepskin lining. If you prefer socks, opt for thin, moisture-wicking materials.

The 'Dipper' series offers a modern twist on the iconic Classic Mini silhouette. While retaining the core comfort and style, it often incorporates subtle design updates or variations in the profile or detailing, giving it a unique contemporary appeal.

The most effective way is to regularly apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and sheepskin before wearing them for the first time and periodically thereafter. Follow the product's instructions carefully for best results.

This is common initially due to the dense sheepskin lining. Wear them regularly; the sheepskin will compress and mold to your feet, providing a more comfortable, personalized fit over time.

Use a soft suede brush to gently brush the entire surface of the boot in one direction. This helps to lift the nap and restore the texture. For heavily matted areas, a slight dampening with a clean, cold cloth before brushing can help.

Allow the boots to dry completely naturally. Then, use a suede brush to gently buff out the spot. For more stubborn water spots, lightly dampen the entire boot surface with a clean, cold cloth and allow to air dry completely, then brush. For general stains, use an UGG-specific cleaner following the product instructions.

Allow your boots to air out thoroughly after each wear. For persistent odors, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside each boot, let it sit overnight, and then shake it out. Specialized shoe deodorizers designed for natural materials can also be used.

When not in use, stuff the boots with acid-free tissue paper or use boot shapers to help maintain their original silhouette. Avoid crushing or folding them during storage.
