What to know about Ugg
Twin-face sheepskin is the constant
Everything traces back to the shearling boot Brian Smith sold to Southern California surfers in 1978 — the material, not a silhouette, is what carries across the line.
Four styles carry the catalogue
The Classic Boot, Ultra Mini, Tasman slipper and Goldenstar clog anchor the range; most seasonal work is a variation on those shapes.
Collabs pull it into streetwear
Work with Telfar, Palace, Feng Chen Wang and Madhappy, plus platform soles and shearling mules, keeps the brand in Y2K and streetwear conversations.
The pieces that define Ugg
Tasman Slipper
The braided-collar shearling mule that turned UGG's indoor slipper into a street-worn staple.
Explore Tasman →Ultra Mini
The cropped version of the Classic that anchors the current line and drives the brand's modern resurgence.

Overall fit
runs large
UGG footwear is widely reported to run large and roomy, with the sheepskin lining packing down over time so a snug initial fit is often recommended.
Tip: Size down a half size from your normal size, as the sheepskin compresses and stretches with wear.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed | Order your usual size unless you want a slimmer look, in which case size down. |
| Jackets | true to size | relaxed | Take your normal size; shearling-lined styles have a roomy, cozy fit. |
| Sneakers | slightly large | roomy, cushioned and soft-lined | Order your normal size or size down a half if you like a snug fit. |
| Boots | runs large | roomy with high volume and a wide toe box | Go down a half size from your usual, or one full size if you're a half size, since the lining compresses with wear. |
| Sandals & slides | slightly large | roomy footbed with generous strap volume | Consider sizing down a half size if you're between sizes or prefer a snug fit. |
