All genuine sheepskin stretches, so if your UGGs are constructed from sheepskin (which all authentic UGGs should be), you can expect your boots to stretch over time. This is precisely why you should ensure your UGGs are snug and cosy when you first try them on, as they will stretch about half a size over time.

Are UGG boots supposed to be tight?
Initially, your UGGs should feel firm, and tight at the toes – meaning your toe should be in close proximity of the very top of the boots without curling – and, should not slip at the heel when you walk.
How long does it take for UGG boots to stretch?
Leave your UGG boots for a minimum of 8 hours. It’s better to leave them like that overnight. However, 8 hours is a minimum. You can stretch more but give your boots some breathing time.
Why are my new UGGs so tight?
When the boots initially arrive they may feel quite tight, as the wool has yet to be compressed. To provide support, the heel of the Ugg boots are designed with a harder material compared to the surrounding boot. When the wool is uncompressed, it may require some force to place the boots on for the first few uses.
Should you size up or down in UGGs?
Classic UGG boots (the ones you imagine when someone says UGGs) run big, so you’re going to want to buy fresh UGGs a half to a full size smaller than your typical size. This is because they’re made out of a sheepskin material, which is known to stretch out over time.
Do you have to break in UGG boots?
WALK IN THEM
It does not take more than a day or two, but the best way to break in footwear is to wear them (after all they are footwear).
Are you not supposed to wear socks with UGGs?
It’s one of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to UGG boots: should UGGs be worn with or without socks? The truth is, real UGG boots (made from genuine Australian sheepskin) should never be worn with socks, and for very good reason.
Does Ugg expand?

What size UGG boots should I get?
If you have a narrow foot, it is usually best to get a size down in our non-sheepskin styles. However, when purchasing ugg boots, you should choose your regular size as these boots have a thick layer of sheepskin.
Are UGGs good for wide feet?
The lack of arch support, heel cupping, breathability, and a toebox that is too wide makes for poor stability in the feet and ankles. They are not structurally helpful for correcting pronation issues and alter peoples’ gait; we often see teenagers dragging their feet in Uggs.
How much will UGGs stretch out?

What’s the difference between Koolaburra and UGGs?
The only difference to me is there is faux fur on the inside and uggs have the genuine shearling. The little bit of fur that sticks out on the outside of the Koolaburra is apparently genuine sheep. The suede on both Ugg’s and Koolaburra feels the same to me. The comfort is the same to me.
Are UGGs comfortable?

Do UGGs make your feet stink?
The theory is that UGGs are sheepskin and that they breathe. Therefore, you don’t have to wear socks. Well, what happens is when your feet sweat and the bacteria forms, they don’t go on your socks. Instead they’re going into the liner of your UGGs, and this is what causes the foul odor.
