Classic Mini Platform vs UGG Mini Bailey Bow II Boot

Both are UGG mini ankle boots with sheepskin lining, so warmth and comfort are close. The Classic Mini Platform adds a 2-inch platform and a taller 5-inch shaft, which gives more lift and a bolder look, but it is heavier and less flexible underfoot. The Mini Bailey Bow II is the lighter, more classic boot, with a fixed satin bow and a sugarcane EVA sole; owners rate it higher, though from fewer reviews. Buy the Platform for height and a statement; buy the Bailey Bow for a lighter, softer, more traditional boot.

• Choose the Classic Mini Platform if you want extra height and a chunkier silhouette and do not mind a heavier, stiffer step.
• Choose the Mini Bailey Bow II if you want the lighter, softer classic mini with a feminine bow and easier all-day wear.
