Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Platform vs Ugg Classic Mini Dipper Puffer Boot

Both are Ugg mini boots with a 2-inch platform, so the real choice is slip-on suede versus a lace-up puffer. The Classic Ultra Mini Platform is the classic look: genuine suede and sheepskin, a wool lining, and a back zipper that makes it easy to pull on. The Classic Mini Dipper Puffer adds a neoprene shaft, a lace-up closure, and a sugarcane EVA outsole, so it grips better in wet, cold weather. Owners rate the Dipper higher, but on far fewer ratings. Buy the Ultra Mini for the iconic silhouette and the Dipper for winter traction and a snugger fit.

• Choose the Classic Ultra Mini Platform if you want the classic Ugg mini look in genuine suede and sheepskin, and you prefer slipping boots on over lacing up.
• Choose the Classic Mini Dipper Puffer if you want a lace-up winter boot with a neoprene shaft and a sugarcane EVA outsole that handles wet pavement better.
