Introducing The UGG Goldenglow Slides
The Velcro-Strap Sandal You Didn't Know You Needed - A Summer Style Shift from UGG
UGG has long been synonymous with cosy sheepskin boots and plush indoor slippers — but with the launch of the UGG Goldenglow Dark Sand Slides, the iconic brand is stepping confidently into sunny, street-ready footwear. These laid-back yet fashion-forward velcro strap sandals mark a fresh direction for UGG, and we’re here for it.
In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the design, comfort, and sustainability credentials of the Women’s UGG Goldenglow Slides, and explore why they’re fast becoming a summer must-have.
1. A Modern Take on Velcro-Strap Slides
Let’s get straight to it. The Goldenglow Slides are not your average sandals. With a chunky yet lightweight silhouette, these UGG slides blend retro styling with modern-day comfort. The three adjustable velcro straps add a utilitarian edge, but the soft dark sand colourway brings just the right balance of warmth and minimalism.
Think: your go-to festival sandals, your beach-to-brunch staple, or the slides you throw on every time the sun comes out. Whether paired with linen trousers, denim shorts or a floaty dress, these versatile sandals work effortlessly with your summer wardrobe.
2. Built for Comfort and the Planet
UGG hasn’t just focused on aesthetics here. The Goldenglow Slides are made with sustainability in mind, using sugarcane-derived EVA in both the midsole and outsole. It's a material that’s not only lighter and more flexible, but also significantly more eco-friendly than traditional foams.
Key comfort features include:
- Sugarcane EVA midsole for cushioned all-day wear
- Three adjustable straps with easy hook-and-loop fastening
- Lightweight feel that’s ideal for warmer days
- Breathable lining made from 100% recycled polyester
With these slides, you’re not just investing in a trendy pair of summer sandals, you’re also making a more conscious fashion choice.
3. Why We Love the UGG Goldenglow Slides
Here’s what makes this pair a stand-out for the season:
- Style Meets Utility: The functional velcro strap design is bang on trend, channelling the chunky sandal aesthetic we’re seeing everywhere this year.
- Perfect for Travel: Super light, compact, and easy to slip on and off at the airport or by the pool.
- Weather Versatile: While designed for warmer days, the rugged tread and secure fit mean they’re great for unpredictable British summers too.
- Eco-Credentials: It’s always a win when fashion looks good and does good. The use of recycled and plant-based materials adds a feel-good factor.
4. UGG’s Evolution: Beyond the Boot
The launch of the Goldenglow style is another example of UGG’s quiet reinvention. Known the world over for their winter boots, UGG has spent the last few seasons building out a more diverse, year-round product line, introducing fashion-forward clogs, platform sandals, and now these elevated pool slides.
If you’re already a fan of UGG comfort, the Goldenglow Dark Sand Slides bring that same plush, wearable DNA into a new summer-ready format. And if you’re new to the brand? This is a great entry point.
5. Styling Ideas: How to Wear Your UGG Goldenglow Slides
Not sure how to style these? Here are some outfit ideas to make the most of your new slides:
- Effortless Weekend: Pair with high-waisted denim shorts and an oversized tee or vest.
- Modern Minimalist: Try a neutral co-ord set with statement sunglasses and a canvas tote.
- Casual City Look: Style them with wide-leg linen trousers and a crop top or tank.
- Festival Ready: Match them with a printed playsuit, bucket hat and crossbody bag.
Final Thoughts: Are They Worth It?
Absolutely. The UGG Goldenglow Slides offer style, substance, and sustainability in one sleek package. They're ideal for those looking to invest in a premium sandal that’s as versatile as it is comfortable.
Whether you’re heading on holiday, running summer errands, or simply want a stylish sandal you can rely on, this is a pair to add to your basket.
