FAQs
How do I clean my UGG Astromel Trainers?
For suede areas, use a suede brush and eraser. For recycled textile/canvas, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from heat. It's recommended to pre-treat suede with a water and stain repellent.
What materials are the UGG Astromel Trainers made from?
The upper features a mix of soft suede and recycled canvas/textile. The sole is synthetic, and it includes an EVA midsole for comfort.
What is the height of the platform sole?
The UGG Astromel Trainers feature a 2-inch platform sole, providing a noticeable lift and modern silhouette.
Are these trainers true to size?
UGG footwear generally runs true to size, but individual fit can vary. It's always best to check UGG's official sizing guide if you are unsure or to try them on if possible. The variant listed is UK 7.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Due to the suede material, it's not recommended to wear the Astromel trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage suede. Pre-treating with a water repellent can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the difference between Astromel and Lowmel?
The Astromel is described as a 'platform take on the Lowmel.' This means the Astromel features an elevated platform sole, while the Lowmel is likely a flatter or less elevated sneaker design, sharing similar upper styling.
How do I change the laces?
Simply unlace the existing laces and thread through your preferred style (satin or flat ticked) following the same eyelet pattern. Ensure they are tied securely for comfort and fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or scuffed.
Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Laces feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lacing pattern or tension. The flat ticked laces are generally better for a secure fit, while satin laces can be styled more loosely for a fashion aesthetic. Experiment with different lacing techniques.
The platform feels unstable when walking.
While designed for stability, platforms can take some adjustment. Wear them around the house for short periods to get accustomed to the elevated sole. Ensure the laces are securely tied to provide ankle support.
My feet feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. While the EVA midsole provides cushioning, new shoes can sometimes require a break-in period. Wear appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider adding thin insoles for extra arch support or cushioning.
Trainers got wet and look discolored.
Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. If discoloration persists, professional cleaning might be necessary. It's best to avoid wearing suede in wet conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Suede Areas: For optimal care, it's recommended to treat the suede sections with a water and stain repellent spray before first use. To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Recycled Textile/Canvas Areas: These sections can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Sole: The synthetic sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
