Ultra Mini Ugg Boot Review

I’ve come a long way since folding over the top of my UGG boots with every outfit in middle school, thinking it was peak style (and honestly, it might have been at the time). Yog has since transformed its collection of casual shoes, launching fresh silhouettes every winter that reliably find a place in everyone’s wardrobe. And as someone who has proudly fallen for every UGG trend, from Tasman slippers to mini platforms, one design that is undoubtedly here to stay in my closet is the classic Ultra Mini boot, the ultimate proof that UGGs are still in style.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boot

Offering a more modern spin on the classic UGG Mini, the shaft of the Ultraminis stops just short of the ankle so your heel stays in place, your foot moves freely, and you’re cuddled up in cozy warmth. My feet warm up quickly in them – even in the coldest of temperatures – thanks to the signature UGG sheepskin lining that buyers crave in these coveted boots. But it’s the soft twin sheepskin exterior that nails the laid-back girl, which returns season after season.

Some may argue these shoes are not Built to run, but I think otherwise. The lightweight, flexible rubber sole moves wonderfully in these uggs, while the soft sheepskin insole cushions every step, proving that cozy can be just as comfortable. While I wouldn’t recommend trekking or hiking in the snow (since the sheepskin material isn’t waterproof), I love wearing them for everything from quick errands to sightseeing or just as a house slipper.

I’ve run the length of Central Park in my Ultraminis on a brisk New York afternoon, and my feet felt fully supported with every step. I appreciate the flexibility of the shoe not only for freedom of movement, but also for packing. I managed to throw my Ultraminis in carry-on for a ski trip last year, and their foldable, lightweight structure held them perfectly while saving valuable suitcase space.

UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boot

The question remains though: How can you style UGG boots? The brand originally labeled its popular boot line for casual wear with casual wear and loungewear. But if I’ve learned anything in my three years sporting UGG Ultra Minis, it’s that they can go with anything. Thanks to their short shaft, these shoes can be worn with any type of pant without restriction. Pair with any set of sweats, or straight-leg denim and a chunky sweater for a casual dinner on a chilly night for a seamless, put-together outfit.

With new UGG designs and details dropping annually, you’re bound to find a pair that matches your winter style. While I’m partial to the ultra minis, there are plenty of equally fashionable options that bridge the gap between cozy and chic, from the brand new Zora ballet flats to the on-trend Golden Star clogs, with some styles even on rare markdowns. It’s known for UGG boots in all sorts of neutral hues, including the ever-popular chestnut, which is both nostalgic and on-trend.

It’s no surprise that the Ultra Mini Yogs continue to be my most-worn winter boots—they’re comfortable, versatile, and incredibly travel-friendly. If you’re craving that same cozy comfort, here are other UGG styles that deserve a spot in your winter boot rotation.

UGG Ultra Mini Platform Boot

If there’s a runner-up in my UGG collection, it’s the Ultra Mini Platform Boots. Boasting the same silhouette as the Ultra Mini, except with a two-inch platform, these shoes easily accommodate newborns with versatility. I like to dress them up with a long wool coat and dark denim – my winter uniform for the last couple of years.

UGG Classic Long Boot

Ah, the uggs that started it all for me. There’s no doubt that your body will feel extra taut and lush in a classic tall boot, thanks to the ankle leather lining and insole that travels below the knee. And dare I say it, they’re on the rise (again), as I see city dwellers tucking them into joggers or leggings on chilly days.

ugg golden star clog

It’s no secret that clogs have become the shoe of the season, so it’s no wonder UGG had to jump on the trend. You can adjust the heel strap of these Golden Star clogs to wear them as a closed or open shoe, leaving the most room for wear. While these gyms lack the signature fur-lined interior, the Cane EVA midsole will keep your feet just the same. Plus, they’re under $100 right now.

UGG Classic Micro Boot

If you thought UGG had reached peak mini with the Ultra Minis, think again. These classic micro boots feature a low-cut design with the same casual comfort you’ve come to expect from other UGG silhouettes. They are easy to style and equally adaptable to wear around the house or out and about.

ugg elea waterproof suede slipper

These slip-on UGG slippers are as durable as they get, featuring a waterproof suede exterior and grippy rubber outsole for reliable outdoor wear that doesn’t sacrifice style. I love the minimalist design and flexibility of these slippers – they’re just what you need to walk the dog or run some brisk errands in unpredictable winter weather.

COLLABORA BY UGG RYANA BOOT

Another unusual under-$100 UGG deal is the Rihanna boots, which, unlike the Ultra Minis, are waterproof. Take on the season’s snowiest conditions in style with a standout lace-up closure, faux fur lining, suede upper, and waterproof membrane construction for about half off.

ugg zora ballet flats

The Zora Belle Flat, one of UGG’s latest models for the season, is naturally already a sellout. The brand has taken one of the most worn sneakers of the year and added a sheepskin sockliner, suede outer, and cane EVA outsole to keep your stride ultra-plush. These can definitely be dressed up or down with cozy loungewear or even a skirt and knitted crew socks.
