The UGG Boots Sizing Guide
UGG boots use US sizing, but also feature UK, EU and Japan sizing on the box and inside products. You can use the chart below to convert between standard size formats. For example, if you are a UK women’s 5, it correlates to a US size 7 and a European size 38.
Women’s UGG boots are manufactured in a standard B width, and are not currently offered in wide or narrow widths. It is also worth noting that to convert a men's size to women's, add two to your regular women’s size. A men's size 9 is therefore the same size as a women's size 11.

FAQ
- What UGG boots are waterproof?
There are many UGG boots that will protect your feet in wet weather, including the brand’s Birch and Adirondack snow boots. The Adirondack is made from waterproof leather and suede, and has extra insulation that’s built to withstand temperatures of -32˚C. You’ll also find some casual everyday styles are also waterproof, such as the Aureo, Bonham, Wilde and Hazel.
There are also specific waterproof versions of UGG classic and mini sheepskin-lined boots.
- Are UGG boots true to size?
UGG recommends taking a full size smaller than your usual size in its Classic Collection or a half-size down if in between sizes. Boots in the Classic Collection tend to run large, and sheepskin suede can stretch with wear.
UGG’s fashion, snow and rain boots are generally more true to size and also come in half sizes.
- How can I tell if my UGG boots are real?
UGG is renowned for its expertly crafted boots and use of premium materials. Fake UGG boots are usually made with inferior materials and poor workmanship will be evident, from low-quality stitching to logos spelt incorrectly.
UGG began using security features on its labels in 2010, in an effort to make counterfeit products easier to spot. Authentic boots should feature a holographic sun logo that changes from black to white when rotated 90 degrees.
You can check if a website has previously been identified as selling fake UGG products on the UGG online site. UGG updates the list frequently, but it is not comprehensive. Authentic UGG products are sold by UGG retail and outlet stores, as well as authorized department stores, retailers and specialty stores which you can find on Lyst.
