Kiss your basic boots goodbye and say hello to UGG.

While the weather is just beginning to turn, we want to stock up on the best UGG boots, shoes and slippers from the experts. The brand totes everything from the Classic Ultra Mini to beloved slip-ons, clothing and more.

We’ll be the first to agree that, at first glance, we found UGG to be, well, ugly. Yes, we said it, but after researching the brand and trying some on ourselves, we found ourselves low-key obsessed.

We chatted with none other than UGG themselves for the hottest trend report, rounding up the best shoes, boots and slippers you need — who knows, you may be the first to get in on upcoming viral moments to come. Lindsey Dicola, senior director of global brand communications, lays out the must-have styles that have flown under the radar for far too long, plus highlights other hidden gems like UGG clothes and more.

“Originally known for the iconic Classic boot and now an expansive assortment of footwear and apparel, UGG is really an emotional brand because of how good it makes you feel – inside and out,” Dicola said. “We always hear people’s personal stories about their first experience with UGG and what the brand means to them today – it’s really special that UGG has that connection with consumers all over the world.”

There is a whole world of UGG shoes to explore before the season is over, and you need them ASAP in your cozy winter wardrobe, so it’s time to shop for them and find the style that speaks to you.

These ultra cute UGGs (a phrase you don’t hear all that often) have plush sheepskin lining and a suede heel guard, making chilly days a wanted occasion. Though water and stain-resistant, they’re not built for snowy or icy terrain, so keep them casual for everyday wear. Size down if between two sizes. Customers mention that they run a little large.

With a convenient rear pull tab and embossed leather heel label, this slip-on boot is perfect for effortless everyday wear. The shearling inside is made of sheep and lamb fur, artificially dyed and treated to create a soft, cozy experience.

New York Post Review: “I was gifted the UGG Mini Boots by a friend when we were in Scotland and I lacked anything warm and comfortable enough to walk around in. I literally jumped up and down at the sight of the UGG box. Opening and seeing that they were the Minis was even better. UGGs have made it back into the mainstream, somehow seeming better than ever — no longer a proverbially millennial misstep (as it were). Not only do I get compliments during my errands, bodega runs, and occasional ‘comfy Friday’ office days, but I genuinely feel chic wearing them — like an off-duty model or an Upper East Side mom.” – Kendall Cornish, commerce editor

These slippers were designed for the great outdoors but can be worn inside to lounge about. They give you added height with their 1.5-inch platform sole and sturdy grip. Available in four shades, we appreciate the embroidered stitching up top.

Unlike most UGG boots and shoes, this flexible lace-up boot is temperature-rated to withstand conditions as low as -25 degrees Fahrenheit. It features waterproof leather and plush wool lining so your feet can snuggle up inside and remain dry.

Available in six shades, including a playful hot pink for all the Legally Blonde fans out there, these comfy slippers deliver the signature traction UGG is known for. Featuring a thick sole and luxurious shearling lining, they offer warmth and style.

If you’re looking for your errand slipper to grab the mail, walk the dog, or buy that forgotten item at the grocery, the Tasman is the ticket to all things snug and warm. They have a charming embroidered trim that transitions effortlessly from home to outdoor strolls with its durable, grippy sole.

The mid-level UGGs are a lot easier to find and thank goodness because they are a staple for every outfit come wintertime. The boots can be found at a number of retailers and come in a range of colors, from black and chestnut to burnt cedar and sand suede.

This boot is unique because it features a tall shaft lined with genuine shearling that can be folded down. So basically, for $260, you’re getting two styles from one pair of boots.

This list wouldn’t be complete without the tall boots that started our obsession with UGG and, most likely, yours, too. The Tall II is a great winter boot, protecting your ankles and calves from the snow and rain. They currently come in a range of classic colors like gray, chestnut, black, and more.

According to a 2023 UGG’s blog post, the most popular boot from the brand is its Classic Ugg Boot, in both tall and short. Its Ultra Short Boot is also a beloved pick, as the just above the ankle cut creates an “edgy style” that compliments a variety of looks.

UGGs can last up to 10 years if cared for properly. However, this is largely dependent on how much and where they are worn.

For those looking for a comfortable indoor boot or slipper, UGGs will have your back (or should we say feet?) season after season, but exposing them to the elements will reduce their longevity. The brand gives detailed instructions for how to clean and protect boots, which we recommend checking out. You can also order a UGGs Care Kit ($24), which comes with a cleaning cloth, shampoo, and protectant to keep the boots looking brand new month after month.
