Right then, let's get straight to the million-dollar question: Are UGGs true to size? The short answer for most people is yes—you'll want to stick with your normal UK shoe size. But here’s the crucial bit: they're meant to feel snug at first. That initial tightness isn't a sign you've got the wrong size; it's the secret to getting that perfect, custom-moulded fit down the line.

How Your UGG Should Really Fit

As the weather turns and we start craving all things cosy, there’s nothing worse than footwear that doesn't fit just right. This is especially true for premium sheepskin boots, which have become a non-negotiable part of modern life for every woman—whether she's navigating a busy career from home, dashing out for errands, or simply embracing a well-deserved moment of relaxation on the weekend.

That incredibly plush sheepskin lining is designed to do something pretty clever: it gradually compresses and moulds to the unique contours of your feet. Think of it like breaking in a quality pair of leather shoes. It’s a process. According to UK retailers, this initial snugness is completely by design. The temptation to size up is real, but fighting that urge is key to avoiding a loose, sloppy fit once the wool settles. If you want to dive deeper, the UGG fit guide from Allsole has some great insights on this.

This is precisely why choosing your true size from the get-go is so important. After just a few wears, your boots will feel less like you bought them off the shelf and more like they were made just for you. Take the ever-popular Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots, for example. Their legendary comfort relies entirely on this principle. Getting the size right from day one means you’ll be enjoying that perfect-fit feeling for years, whether you're rocking the Ultra Mini Classic Platform Boots or padding around the house in the Premium Classic Slippers.

The Magic of Sheepskin and Your Perfect Fit

So, what's the secret that turns a brand-new, snug boot into your absolute favourite pair of shoes? It all comes down to the wonderful properties of genuine sheepskin. Understanding this natural magic is the key to why we always say you should stick to your standard size, even if they feel a little tight right out of the box.

Think of it like this: a new pair of sheepskin boots is like a custom memory foam mattress just for your feet. The wool lining starts off incredibly dense and plush. But as you wear them, that amazing natural fibre begins to compress and mould perfectly to the unique shape of your foot. It hugs your arches, gives your toes the space they need, and settles around your heels. This is the “packing out” process, and it’s precisely why buying your true size is so crucial.

More Than Just a Cosy Fit

Beyond creating that bespoke fit, genuine sheepskin is also thermostatic. It's a fancy word for something amazing – it keeps your feet toasty warm when it's chilly but stays breathable and cool when the weather heats up. This makes premium footwear like our Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots a true year-round essential. They’re perfect for everything from a crisp autumn walk in the Northern Hemisphere to lounging at home on a cool summer evening in the Southern Hemisphere. If you're curious about what makes our materials so special, you can discover more about these signature materials right here.

This natural moulding process is why sizing up is a common mistake. A boot that feels roomy at first will often become too loose after the sheepskin settles, leading to a sloppy and less supportive fit.

Choosing the right size is all about trusting the sheepskin to do its thing. It takes a little patience, but the reward is a pair of boots that feel like they were made just for you. This principle holds true for any high-quality sheepskin product, guaranteeing you comfort and support that lasts.

How to Measure Your Feet for UGGs at Home

To make sure you're absolutely confident when ordering online, measuring your feet is the easiest way to ditch the sizing guesswork. It’s a simple trick that empowers you to find that perfect fit, whether you're treating yourself or gifting a pair of Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots to someone special. All you’ll need is a piece of paper, a pen, and a ruler.

It’s always best to measure your feet in the evening. Just like the rest of our bodies, our feet can swell a little throughout the day. Measuring them when they are at their largest means you won't accidentally pick a size that ends up feeling too tight.

This infographic breaks down the super simple three-step process to get an accurate foot measurement.

As you can see, it's incredibly easy to find your exact length in centimetres. This gives you a reliable number to convert into your correct UK shoe size, taking all the mystery out of the process.

From Your Measurement to the Right Size

Once you’ve got your measurement, the next step is to pop it against a brand’s size chart. This is where you connect your personal measurement to the perfect boot.

For our Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots, we’ve made this part incredibly simple. Just take your centimetre measurement and check it against our detailed conversion tables. You'll find everything you need by viewing our comprehensive size charts. This little step is the key to ensuring your new boots are a perfect match, right out of the box.

A Sizing Spotlight on Popular UGG Styles

While our "true to size" advice is a fantastic starting point, it’s worth remembering that not all UGG boots are created equal. The specific design of a boot—from its sole to its silhouette—can subtly change how it feels on your foot. A sturdy platform sole will have a different feel than a super-flexible slipper, and these little details matter.

This is especially true as fashion evolves, bringing fresh UGG styles into our wardrobes. With the chillier seasons just around the corner, we’re all looking for that perfect pair, whether it's a timeless classic or a trendy new design. Understanding the nuances between them is your secret weapon for finding a flawless fit.

Let's put the theory into practice and look at five popular models from Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots to see how these rules apply in the real world.

Platforms and Classic Boots

Platform UGGs have absolutely taken over, giving us that bit of height we love without sacrificing any of the signature comfort. The catch? That firmer, more structured sole creates a different feel underfoot compared to the classic, bendy soles you might be used to.

• Ultra Mini Classic Platform Boots: With their solid platform, these boots don't have a lot of "give" right out of the box. The sheepskin inside will still mould beautifully to your foot, but the base itself is rigid. Our advice? Stick to your true UK size for a secure fit that won't feel loose once the lining settles in.
• Premium Short Classic Boots: This is the quintessential UGG boot. Its flexible sole and iconic shape make it the perfect example of our "snug at first" rule. Trust the process and go for your standard size; it will stretch and soften into a fit that feels like it was made just for you.

Slippers for Every Occasion

UGG slippers are no longer just for lounging around the house. They're for working from home, quick trips to the shops, and everything in between. That’s why getting the fit spot-on is so important for all-day comfort.

Here's the key thing to remember with slippers: their softer construction often feels more forgiving at first. But the same rule applies! That plush lining will compress over time, so starting with your true size is still the best way to get a secure fit that lasts.

Let’s look at a few of our favourites:

• Kenzie Platform Slippers: Just like their boot cousins, these platform slippers have a sturdier sole. Your true size will make sure your foot stays put and doesn’t slide around.
• Premium Classic Slippers: These are pure, unadulterated comfort. Their incredibly flexible design will feel amazing from the first wear, but you'll want to stick to your usual size to stop them from becoming too loose later on.
• Premium Explorer Slippers: Built with a more robust outdoor sole, this hybrid style is all about durability. The fit is designed to be firm and supportive, so your standard size is definitely the way to go.

Sizing Advice for Half Sizes and Wide Feet

Trying to find the perfect pair of boots when you don't fit the standard size mould can be a real headache. It's a common worry for women who are between sizes or have wider feet, especially when asking: are Uggs true to size for my feet?

If you find yourself stuck between two sizes, like a UK 5.5, our best advice is almost always to size down to a 5. Why? A boot that starts off a little too big will only get sloppier as that gorgeous sheepskin lining naturally compresses. Sizing down, on the other hand, lets the plush wool mould to your foot, creating a snug, custom-like fit that feels like it was made just for you.

What About Wider Feet?

For those of us with wider feet, the natural materials in genuine sheepskin boots are an absolute lifesaver. The supple suede exterior and the flexible wool interior are incredibly forgiving, comfortably adapting to a wider foot shape over time.

While most of our styles will stretch beautifully, anyone with wider feet will likely find the classic silhouettes are a more comfortable fit right out of the box. It’s all down to the natural give in the material, which is what makes them so special.

This inherent flexibility means you never have to sacrifice that signature cosy feeling. For more tips on keeping your feet perfectly snug, you can check out our practical guide to keeping feet warm in winter. By trusting the materials, every woman can find her perfect pair.

Maintaining The Perfect Fit With Proper Care

So, you've found your perfect size—fantastic! Now, the trick is to make sure that snug, comfy fit lasts for years to come. Looking after your sheepskin boots properly is the secret to maintaining their shape, comfort, and longevity season after season.

First things first, and this is a big one: never put your boots in the washing machine. It’s the quickest way to damage the delicate sheepskin and can cause them to shrink and lose that perfect shape.

Instead, a little bit of preventative care goes a long way. Before you even think about wearing them outside, give them a good spray with a quality water and stain repellent. This is a real game-changer, creating a protective barrier against unexpected spills or a classic British downpour. If they do happen to get wet, just let them air-dry naturally, well away from direct heat or sunlight. This keeps the sheepskin buttery soft and supple.

For any stubborn stains or just a general refresh, it's always best to follow the experts. You can find out exactly how to get them looking like new by following our step-by-step sheepskin boot cleaning guide.

Your UGG Sizing Questions Answered

Even with all the best advice in the world, sometimes a couple of last-minute questions pop up just before you commit. To help you click "buy" with total confidence, we've tackled some of the most common queries that come our way about finding that perfect fit.

Should My Toes Touch the End of New UGGs?

Yes, they should! It's completely normal for your toes to gently brush against the front of the boot when they're brand new. They shouldn't feel painfully cramped, of course, but feeling the front is actually a great sign.

That super-thick, plush sheepskin lining is designed to compress and mould to the unique shape of your foot over time, creating a custom-fit feel with just a little bit more room.

Does Sizing Differ Between Men's and Women's UGGs?

Absolutely. Men's and women's feet have different proportions, and our sizing reflects that. A women's UK size 7 is a completely different fit from a men's UK size 7.

To get it right, always stick to the gender-specific size chart for the boots you're buying. It’s the only way to guarantee a truly comfortable and accurate fit.

Genuine sheepskin boots like Snuggyz Australian Made UGG Boots are made to be worn barefoot. The natural fibres are brilliant at regulating temperature and wicking away moisture. Chucking on a pair of socks, especially thick ones, can disrupt this whole process and make a perfectly sized boot feel far too tight.

We always suggest buying your true size with the intention of wearing them without socks. That way, you get the full, luxurious benefit of that soft sheepskin and a fit that becomes perfectly yours.
