UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boots - Brown - 5 UK

No, the UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boots are not inherently waterproof. They are made from premium suede, which is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is highly recommended to treat them with a suede and sheepskin protector spray before wear and to reapply it periodically to enhance water resistance.

For best results, use a specialized UGG care kit. Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, apply a small amount of UGG cleaner and conditioner to a damp sponge and gently clean the entire surface of the boot. Rinse the sponge and remove any excess product. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.

UGG boots are designed to be worn barefoot to maximize the natural warmth and moisture-wicking properties of the sheepskin lining. However, you can wear thin socks if preferred. Wearing thick socks may alter the fit and reduce the natural breathability.

Treadlite by UGG is a proprietary sole compound developed by UGG. It offers significantly increased cushioning, durability, and traction compared to traditional UGG soles, while remaining lightweight and flexible. This improves the overall wearing experience.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boots generally fit true to size. The sheepskin lining will compress over time, molding to your foot for a custom fit. If you are typically between sizes, UGG usually recommends ordering your true size. Refer to the UGG official sizing chart for the most accurate guidance.

While the Treadlite sole offers some traction, the suede upper is not designed for heavy snow, slush, or icy conditions, even with treatment. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede and sheepskin. These boots are best suited for dry, cold weather.

Gently blot any excess water with a clean cloth. If the entire boot is wet, lightly dampen the entire outer surface of both boots with clean, cold water (this helps prevent a water line). Allow them to air dry completely and naturally, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dirt and scuffs. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used before brushing.

Over time, the sheepskin may compress. You can often restore some of its fluffiness by gently brushing the interior lining with a soft brush (like a pet brush) or by hand to lift the fibers. Ensure the boots are completely dry before doing this.
