Can Ugg Slippers Be Worn Outdoors?

Jody Morse
Uggs are a cozy footwear option for the months of winter. If you are thinking about adding a new pair of Uggs to your wardrobe, you might want to consider something besides the boots. They can be somewhat annoying to put on when you're in a rush and may not fit comfortably over certain types of jeans. Can Ugg slippers be used outdoors? Here are some of the things that you will want to keep in mind if you are thinking about purchasing a pair of Ugg slippers this winter.

Are Ugg Slippers Practical for Outdoor Wear?

There are several types of Ugg slippers which are comfortable for outdoor use. Many of the slippers which are sold by Ugg have soles which are suitable for an outdoor environment, even during the months of winter. In fact, some of the soles are even less flat and more durable than the boots which are sold by Ugg.

As with any other pair of Ugg, you will want to consider using the sheepskin stain and water repellant to prevent suede from being affected by the cold weather. If your Uggs have not yet been sprayed by this water repellant, be sure to avoid wearing your Ugg slippers outside when it is raining, snowing, or the ground is otherwise wet.

Do Ugg Slippers Look Like Slippers Though?

While there are a few pairs of Ugg slippers that you probably won't want to venture out of your yard in, there are several pairs which do not even really look like slippers! They actually bare a closer resemblance to clogs or moccasins. This makes them an ideal option if you are looking for a comfortable pair of Uggs to wear to school or to go shopping in.

Here are a few of the best options to consider if you are looking for Ugg slippers which can be comfortably worn out of the house this winter. When opting for a color, be sure to consider neutral colors if you don't want attention drawn to the fact that they are "slippers." Note that prices listed here are subject to change any time.

Ugg Tasman - $85

Ugg Coquette - $100

Ugg Cozy II - $90

Ugg Cozy Knit - $100

If you are looking for a pair of warm and cozy clogs or moccasins that can be comfortably and fashionably worn out of your home, these Ugg slippers can all be a great choice. Anyone who is still not comfortable with the idea of wearing slippers out of their home may want to consider the Ugg Classic Mini instead. These boots are not huge, but also may be a more suitable option for you.

    I wouldn't wear anything outdoors that looked like slippers, so I'm glad you addressed that issue. I like to wear stylish shoes when I'm outdoors, preferably with high heels so I can overcome my short height (I'm only 5'2).
