How does the Classic Short II differ from the original Classic Short?

The main change is the outsole: the II uses a molded Treadlite by UGG sole that is lighter and has better traction than the older EVA sole. The sheepskin upper and wool lining carry over.

Are these boots waterproof?

No. The Twinface sheepskin and suede upper is not waterproof, so rain, slush and road salt can stain it. Treat them with a suede protector and avoid wet days.

Should I wear them with socks?

The wool lining is warm enough that many owners wear them barefoot. Thin socks work if you want a snugger fit or run cold.

Do they run true to size?

The Classic line generally fits true to size, and the sheepskin softens with wear. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, many shoppers size up.

How should I clean the chestnut suede?

Brush off dry dirt with a suede brush and use a sheepskin and suede cleaner for marks. Let them air dry away from direct heat, and avoid washing machines.
