FAQs
What materials are the UGG Astromel Platforms made from?
The upper is crafted from a blend of suede, nylon, and recycled textiles. The sole is made from lightweight EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate).
Are the laces interchangeable?
Yes, the Astromel Platforms come with two distinct lace styles: satin laces for a fashion-forward look and flat ticked laces for a more secure and casual fit. You can easily swap them out to match your outfit or preference.
How should I clean my Astromel Platforms?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For nylon and recycled textile parts, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing. Consider applying a water and stain repellent for suede before first wear.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede and textile construction, the Astromel Platforms are not designed for heavy wet weather. Suede is particularly sensitive to moisture. We recommend using a water and stain repellent and avoiding significant exposure to rain or puddles.
Are UGG Astromel Platforms true to size?
UGG footwear typically runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. We recommend referring to UGG's official sizing guide or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
What is the benefit of the EVA sole?
The EVA sole provides lightweight cushioning, making the shoes comfortable for extended wear. It offers good shock absorption and contributes to the overall comfort of the platform design.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or unsecure during wear.
The UGG Astromel Platforms include two types of laces. If you're experiencing looseness, switch from the satin laces to the 'flat ticked laces' for a more secure and robust fit. Ensure they are tied firmly.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush away debris. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.
The platform sole feels unfamiliar or difficult to walk in.
Platform soles can take some getting used to. Start by wearing them for shorter periods around the house to adjust to the elevated feel. Ensure your laces are tied securely for maximum stability.
Shoes are uncomfortable or rub in certain spots.
Verify you have the correct size. The padded tongue and lace-up closure allow for some adjustability; try loosening or tightening the laces to achieve a better fit. Allow for a break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Lacing
Your Astromel Platforms come with two sets of laces to customize your look and fit.
- Choose Your Laces: Select between the `satin laces` for a fashion moment or the `flat ticked laces` for a more secure, everyday fit.
- Thread Laces: Carefully thread your chosen laces through the eyelets. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed for a balanced look.
- Adjust for Comfort: Tie the laces to your desired snugness. The padded tongue will help provide a comfortable, cushioned feel.
Compatibility & Styling
These platforms are designed to be a versatile addition to your wardrobe, complementing a range of outfits:
- Casual Chic: Pair with jeans (cropped, straight-leg, or wide-leg), leggings, or casual skirts.
- Smart Casual: Combine with tailored trousers, midi dresses, or sophisticated jumpsuits to add an unexpected, modern edge.
- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for year-round wear, though specific care is needed in wet conditions.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your UGG Astromel Platforms maintain their appearance and longevity.
- Initial Protection: Before your first wear, treat the `suede` areas with a high-quality water and stain repellent specifically formulated for suede and nubuck materials. Repeat periodically.
- Cleaning Suede: For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush in one direction to remove dust and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the suede.
- Cleaning Nylon/Textile: For the `nylon` and recycled `textile` sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then blot dry with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your platforms in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and light.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
