Are the UGG Uptowner Short boots waterproof?

No. The suede, leather and velvet uppers are not waterproof, and the EVA sole has no waterproof membrane. Treat them with a protector and keep them for dry or lightly snowy days.

How do the Uptowner Short boots fit?

They run in normal B width and are slip-on, so most buyers take their usual UGG size. People with wide feet or high arches may want to size up.

How tall is the platform and shaft?

The platform and block heel are both 1.5 inches, and the shaft measures 8 inches from the sole. That puts the top of the boot around mid-calf on most wearers.

What is the boot made of?

Uppers come in suede, leather, velvet or polyester depending on the colorway. The lining mixes wool, faux fur, sheepskin and recycled fabric, and the insole is leather and wool over an EVA midsole.

How do they compare with the classic UGG short boot?

The Uptowner adds a 1.5-inch platform and a sportier EVA sole while keeping the slip-on shape and warm lining. It is lighter and more casual than the classic short, but less sleek.

Can I wear them in snow?

Light snow is fine, but the suede and velvet versions stain easily and the sole lacks deep lugs. For deep snow or slush, a waterproof winter boot is the better choice.
