    Quick size check. Order your usual shoe size, it’s that simple. As the manufacturer we pattern the boots with consideration and allowance for both the wool pile and stretch factor so you don’t need to guess which size. If unsure of your sizing check a label inside your sport shoes/sneakers or casual shoes and use the conversion charts below if need be. If you are a half size, check the individual style for recommendation to opt up or down to the whole size.

    In our product listings, W means women, M means men, K means kids, and Y means youth.

    Our size charts and measuring instructions do not take into consideration feet disorders or any diseases which affect the feet. All our sizing information is geared towards just regular feet that fit into regular shoes that can be purchased from any regular store. If you do have any medical condition which affect your feet, or your feet have considerable sensitivities, or you have trouble buying regular shoes from a regular store, please contact us for recommendations for UGG boots or Slippers that may be best suited for your feet.

    Determine your size:

    If unsure of size, please follow these steps to determine your size:

    1. Tape a sheet of paper to the floor, flush against the wall. Stand up straight on the sheet of paper with your heel up against the wall.
    2. Place a mark on the paper at the longest part of your foot. Repeat with the other foot, as right and left sizes may be different.
    3. Measure the heel (edge of paper)-to-toe length you marked for each foot.
    4. Taking the longest measurement (foot), use the conversion chart ABOVE to find your correct size.

    Foot Notes:

    • Centimetre measurements are actual foot length not shoe sole length
    • Sizing Charts are indicative of foot length but doesn't allow for various foot and leg widths, high insteps, and any feet disorders.
    • Regular UGG boots and Slippers are usually suitable up to an E fitting because of the stretch nature of sheepskin. However, if you are D or E fitting and your actual foot measurement indicates a smaller size than what you normally purchase in regular shoes, then it is best you order UGGs or slippers based on your regular shoe size, not order based on your foot length measurement.
    • No returns of incorrect size will be accepted once footwear has been worn and stretched.
    • Be sure NOT to choose a larger size for fear of the ugg being too small - your footwear should be firm fitting (but not too tight) when you receive them. Sheepskin will stretch and the wool pile will flatten and shape around your foot, giving a cosy, snugg fit. If they are too loose, as they wear in, they may become too roomy.
    • Larger Youth sizing overlaps with Adult sizing so our footwear is priced according to the size of the footwear, NOT priced for child or adult.

  • Product Care

    Sheepskin is a natural product consisting of pelt and wool. Sheepskin is tanned to preserve the pelt and the pelt and wool is dyed for colour. Sheepskin is very reactive and unpredictable so care must be taken when washing. Read more about product care here.
