Which is better for winter weather?

The Classic Ultra Mini. It has a closed heel, a 3.5-inch sheepskin shaft and a water-repellent treatment. The Tasman is a mule with an open back and no listed water repellency, so it suits dry, mild days better.

Both use suede uppers and cushioned insoles, but the Ultra Mini's Treadlite rubber-blend outsole should hold up better on pavement than the Tasman's EVA sole. Sheepskin on either can mat with heavy wear, so rotate them and keep them dry.

Is the Tasman worth stepping up to over the Ultra Mini?

Only if you want a slip-on for indoors and quick errands. It rates higher with owners and is easier to put on, but it gives up ankle coverage, warmth and wet-weather protection.

Which is easier to put on?

The Tasman. It is a true slip-on with no laces. The Ultra Mini pulls on with a rear tab but has a short lace-up front detail that takes a moment longer.

Are these kids' shoes or women's shoes?

The Ultra Mini listing covers kids' sizes, and the Tasman listing is filed under women's casual shoes with some kids' sizing noted. Check the size chart on the product page before ordering.

Can I wear the Tasman outdoors?

Yes, on dry ground and short trips. The EVA outsole is fine for errands, but the open back and suede upper are not built for snow, slush or long walks.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini vs UGG Tasman

The Classic Ultra Mini is the better pick for cold, wet weather and for anyone who wants a real boot: 17mm twinface sheepskin, a 3.5-inch shaft, a water-repellent treatment and a Treadlite sole. The Tasman is a slip-on mule with a lower, open back and a braided collar, so it suits indoor and dry casual wear better than slush. Owners rate the Tasman slightly higher (4.4 vs 4.0), but the Ultra Mini's extra coverage and lining make it the more versatile winter shoe.

Choose the Classic Ultra Mini if you want a pull-on ankle boot for winter, wet pavement and long walks, with full sheepskin coverage around the foot.
Choose the Tasman if you want an easy slip-on mule for indoors, quick errands and dry days, and you like the braided collar look.
