UGG Makes Shoes that are NOT Sheepskin Boots

UGG Australia has actually been making these shoes for a while now, but I guess I was in denial and refused to acknowledge that there really are UGG shoes that are not sheepskin boots.

I mean, these I can understand why UGG added them to their merchandise mix. They’re slippers, moccasins, slip-ons and even flip flops, but they’re warm and cozy (the patented UGG feeling) and are all lined with fur or have sheepskin insoles:

UGG shoes for women

From top: UGG Fluffie, $30.00. UGG Vacay, $120.00. UGG Nightengale, $80.00. UGG Dakota, $100.00.

UGG shoes for men

But these leather sandals, thongs, sneakers, wedges and *gasp* rubber flip flops? These types of shoes are really not the first things to come to mind when the brand UGG is mentioned:

Women’s UGG shoes for the summer

Clockwise from top: UGG Hazel in leopard patent, $140.00. UGG Maia, $100.00. UGG Khloe, $120.00. UGG Hazel in jungle green suede, $140.00. UGG Flare, $30.00.

Men’s UGG shoes for the summer

Clockwise from top: UGG Corbin, $130.00. UGG Torello, $100.00. UGG Griffith, $130.00. UGG Keppel, $35.00. UGG Doheny, $110.00.

I don’t understand why some of these shoes cost nearly as much as UGG’s sheepskin boots, but these are kinda nice.

The jungle green (more like turquoise actually) wedges are really cute, the customer reviews for the flip flops say they’re top quality, and is that leopard print I see, UGG? I’m still trying to get used to your summer shoes here, so please slow down on trying to become trendy.

I guess it’s about time that UGG made summer shoes anyway. If UGG boots really were made by a surfer, then these UGG flip flops, sneakers and sandals were just ’round the corner.
