FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the UGG Classic Mini Platform boots are made of suede and are not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend treating them with a quality suede and sheepskin protector spray to help repel water and stains, but they are best worn in dry conditions.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
These boots are a UK size 4 for children. For best fit, measure your child's foot length and compare it to the UGG size guide. It's often recommended to size up if your child is between sizes or if you plan for them to wear thicker socks.
Can these boots be worn in snow or heavy rain?
While warm, these boots are not designed for heavy snow or rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the suede and sheepskin. For wet conditions, consider specialized waterproof footwear.
What is UGGplush™?
UGGplush™ is a proprietary blend of repurposed wool and Tencel Lyocell woven into a durable backing. It delivers the signature UGG softness and warmth in a more sustainable way, providing a luxurious feel inside the boots.
How often should I clean or protect my boots?
It's recommended to treat your boots with a protector spray before the first wear and reapply every few months, especially before seasonal use. Clean them as needed, immediately addressing any spills or dirt to prevent permanent staining.
Are these suitable for toddlers or only older kids?
These are available in children's sizing, including UK size 4. While they offer warmth, the 1.5-inch platform might require a child who is already steady on their feet. Always consider your child's walking ability when choosing platform shoes.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks discolored or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of UGG cleaner and conditioner as directed on the product label, then rinse with a damp sponge and allow to air dry completely.
Boots feel damp or wet inside
If the boots get wet, stuff them with crumpled newspaper or paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Do not force dry.
Boots have an odor
To refresh the interior, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside each boot and let it sit overnight. Vacuum or shake out the baking soda in the morning. Specialty shoe deodorizers designed for sheepskin can also be used.
Suede feels stiff or rough after drying
After drying, gently brush the suede with a soft suede brush to restore its nap and softness. This helps to re-fluff the fibers.
Platform sole seems slippery
Ensure the soles are clean of any dirt or debris that might reduce traction. While the sole provides grip, caution should always be exercised on wet or icy surfaces. Info needed: Check for wear and tear on the sole's tread.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your UGG Classic Mini Platform boots, follow these care steps:
- Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, treat the suede upper with a high-quality suede and sheepskin protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently brush with a soft suede brush. For more stubborn stains, use a specialized UGG cleaner and conditioner, following the product instructions carefully.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the suede and sheepskin.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot shapers or stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain their form when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your UGG boots, as this will damage the materials.
