How does the Ultra Mini differ from the Classic Short?

The Ultra Mini has a much lower shaft that sits just above the ankle, while the Classic Short rises higher for more warmth and coverage. Both use suede and wool lining, but the Ultra Mini is easier to slip on and pairs better with cropped trousers.

Should I size up or down?

Most shoppers take their usual UGG size. If you plan to wear thick socks or have a wide foot, going up half a size helps with the snug ankle opening.

No. The suede upper and wool lining are not water-resistant. Treat the suede with a protector and avoid rain, slush and snow.

Can I wear them without socks?

Yes, the wool lining is soft against bare skin, which is how many owners wear them. Socks help keep the lining cleaner and add warmth in cold weather.

Yes, UGG lists the Classic Ultra Mini as unisex and runs it across a broad size range. Check the size chart, since the fit is the same for men and women.

How should I clean them?

Brush dry dirt off the suede and use a suede cleaner for marks; do not machine wash. Air-dry away from direct heat, and refresh the wool lining with a damp cloth.
