UGG Slippers Guide — Tasman, Tazz & Scuffette
Which UGG slipper is best? It depends where you'll wear it. The Tasman II is the everyday icon — a closed-back slip-on with a structured sole that handles the school run as happily as the sofa. The Tazz adds a 1.75-inch platform for a bolder, statement silhouette. The Scuffette II is the classic open-heel slipper, made for indoors. They look related on a product grid, but they do different jobs — and the sizing rules differ from UGG's Classic boots. This guide compares all three so you order the right pair first time.
1 | The UGG Slipper Line-Up at OD's
UGG's slipper range is bigger than most people realise, and the names get mixed up constantly — we hear "the platform Tasman" and "the slipper boot" across the counter every week. There are three core silhouettes in the women's range at OD's, plus a clog-style alternative, and the differences between them are structural, not cosmetic.
| Style | Build | Where it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tasman II | Closed-back slip-on, flat structured sole, woven UGGbraid collar | Indoors and out | The everyday do-everything slipper |
| Tazz | Platform slip-on — 1.75-inch sole, same UGGbraid collar | Indoors and out | Statement height and a bolder silhouette |
| Scuffette II | Open-heel slipper, easy slide-on entry | Indoors | Pure around-the-house comfort |
| Goldenstar Clog | Clog construction | Easy on-off wear | A clog-style alternative to the slip-ons |
In the current range at OD's, the Tasman II comes in Rocky Oak, Burnt Cedar and Sand Dark Cherry; the Tazz arrives as the Tazz Plains in Felicity Leopard Jasmine — a leopard-print take on the platform; and the Scuffette II comes in Chestnut and Beige Blush. The Goldenstar clog rounds things out in Chestnut and Sand. Men aren't left out either — the men's Tasman II is in stock in Black, Chestnut and Dusted Cocoa.

2 | Tasman II — The Everyday Icon
If one slipper has defined the last few years of UGG, it's the Tasman. It's a closed-back slip-on with a structured outsole — which means it isn't a slipper in the traditional sense. Where an open-heel style stays by the door, the Tasman has a heel lip and an outdoor-rated sole, making it a genuine hybrid built for quick indoor-outdoor transitions. That's exactly why it became the everyday default.
The defining feature is the UGGbraid collar — the woven band wrapping the opening. It's structural, not decorative: on the Tasman II it's made from 100% recycled polyester, and it doesn't stretch, which keeps the shoe secure on the foot and gives the silhouette its signature finish.
What the Tasman II updates
The Tasman II is a material and construction update over the original, not just a colour refresh:
- Outsole: Sugarcane EVA — a bio-based foam derived from renewable sugarcane, lighter than the earlier Treadlite compound with a softer feel underfoot.
- UGGbraid: upgraded to 100% recycled polyester.
- Footbed: poured PU with bio-based content (varies by edition).
- Lining: UGGplush — a blend of upcycled wool and TENCEL Lyocell — across most current releases, in place of Twinface sheepskin.
The UGGplush lining is worth understanding. Older Twinface sheepskin stretched as the hide softened; UGGplush is more stable, with a wool pile that beds in gently instead. The practical upshot: the fit you buy is largely the fit you keep, which makes getting the size right on day one more important — covered in section 6.
Worth knowing
A small degree of heel lift is inherent to the Tasman's clog-style construction — the low heel counter doesn't lock the heel the way a full boot does. It's a design feature, not a sizing error. In our experience customers stop noticing it within the first few wears.
At OD's the women's Tasman II runs in Rocky Oak, Burnt Cedar and Sand Dark Cherry, with the men's version in Black, Chestnut and Dusted Cocoa, plus kids' and toddler options. For the full construction deep-dive — UGGbraid composition, footbed detail, variant differences — see our dedicated UGG Tasman guide.
3 | Tazz — The Platform Statement
The Tazz shares the UGGbraid collar with the Tasman, then changes everything below it: a 1.75-inch EVA platform sole. That height transforms the shoe's character. Where the Tasman is the quiet utility option, the Tazz is the statement — visual leg elongation, a chunky base, and the silhouette that has carried much of UGG's recent cultural moment.
The platform does more than add height. The thicker sole gives the Tazz a more deliberate, planted stride than the flat Tasman — it feels substantial underfoot, and that substance is precisely the appeal. Because the platform sits evenly under the whole foot rather than tilting it like a heel, it wears comfortably once you've adjusted to the height — in our experience most customers settle into it within a few wears.
The Tazz at OD's
Our current women's Tazz is the Tazz Plains in Felicity Leopard Jasmine — a leopard-print colourway that leans fully into the statement role the platform was built for. If the Tasman is the slipper that disappears into an outfit, this is the one that anchors it. There's also a junior Tazz platform slipper in Sand for girls; note the kids' Tazz platform is approximately 1 inch rather than the women's 1.75.
Styling the platform
The Tazz works hardest with close-fitting lower-body pieces — leggings, skinny jeans, mini skirts — where the chunky sole provides visual proportion and anchors the silhouette. With wide-leg trousers the platform can disappear under the fabric, which rather wastes its defining feature. The Tasman, by contrast, pairs naturally with volume above. If your wardrobe leans fitted, the Tazz makes sense; if it leans wide and relaxed, the Tasman is the safer pick.
Tazz quick facts
- Platform height is 1.75 inches — frequently misreported elsewhere as 1.5
- Shares the non-stretch UGGbraid collar with the Tasman
- No dedicated men's Tazz exists in the current UGG range — men wanting height are usually pointed at the Tasman family instead
- Kids' Tazz platform is approximately 1 inch, on a wider last built for developing feet

4 | Scuffette II — The Classic Indoor Slipper
Before the Tasman and Tazz became street-style fixtures, this is what an UGG slipper meant: the Scuffette II. It's an open-heel slide-on — no closed back, no structured heel — which makes it the easiest of the three to get on and off, and the most purely comfortable for what it's designed to do: pad around the house.
That open-back construction is the key difference from the Tasman family. There's no heel structure holding the foot in, so the Scuffette is built for indoor life — sofa, kitchen, working from home — rather than the pavement. If your slipper never needs to leave the house, that's not a limitation; it's the point. Nothing in the range beats the slide-in convenience.
Who the Scuffette suits
- The homebody: if "slipper" means indoors, full stop, this is the classic answer — and typically the most accessible entry into UGG's slipper range.
- The gift buyer: in our experience the Scuffette II in Chestnut is one of the safest UGG gifts we sell — a recognisable silhouette in the brand's most recognisable colour.
- Anyone who finds slip-on collars fiddly: the Tasman and Tazz have a snug woven-collar entry; the open-heel Scuffette has none, so it's the friendliest option for anyone who wants zero effort on and off.
At OD's the Scuffette II comes in Chestnut and Beige Blush, and — checked against our live stock today — it carries the widest size run of our three featured slippers, in whole UK sizes 3 through 8.
5 | Indoor vs Outdoor Wear — Which UGG Slippers Work Outside?
This is one of the most-asked questions across the counter, and the answer divides cleanly along sole construction.
Built for both: Tasman II and Tazz
The Tasman and Tazz are designed for both indoor and outdoor wear. The Tasman has a closed back with a low heel lip and an outdoor-rated outsole — it can handle pavement, which is exactly what made it the school-run and coffee-run favourite. The Tazz's 1.75-inch platform puts even more sole between you and the ground. Quick trips out, errands, casual days: both are made for it.
Built for indoors: Scuffette II
The Scuffette's open-heel construction has no heel structure, so it's an indoor slipper by design. Doorstep and garden, fine; a walk into town is the Tasman's job. Choosing between them is genuinely simple — it's about where the slipper will live.
One thing to know about weather
None of the standard slippers are waterproof. The suede upper is susceptible to water, so on genuinely wet days choose other footwear and save the slippers for dry cold — a protector spray before first wear (more in section 7) buys you cover against light rain and the odd splash. Within the wider Tasman family, UGG does build a seam-sealed Tasman Weather Hybrid for proper wet conditions; our UGG waterproof guide covers what's genuinely weatherproof across the brand's range.
The 10-second answer
Outside regularly: Tasman II. Outside, with height: Tazz. Indoors only: Scuffette II. Still unsure? Call 01744 730985 and tell us how you'll wear them — we'll tell you straight.
6 | UGG Slipper Sizing — Are They True to Size?
Yes — UGG slippers are true to size, and that surprises people who know the brand's boots. UGG's famous "buy snug, size down" advice was written for the Classic boot, whose sheepskin compresses and moulds over the first wears. The slippers play by different rules:
- Tasman II: true to size. The UGGbraid collar is rigid and doesn't stretch, so entry feels snug at first even when the length is right — don't size up to ease entry, or you'll get heel slip once the foot is seated. If you sit between sizes, go up rather than down.
- Tazz: true to size, same collar, same rule. Sizing down doesn't help here — the snugger entry just gets snugger, so start true to size and go up if you're between sizes.
- Scuffette II: true to size. The open heel means there's no containment, so sizing down would simply make the slipper too small. Order your standard size.
No half sizes — round up
UGG doesn't make half sizes across most of its range, and our live listings bear that out: checked today, the Tasman II in Rocky Oak and the Tazz Plains both run in whole UK sizes 3 to 7, and the Scuffette II in Chestnut runs 3 to 8. If your true size is a half, the slipper rule is to round up to the next whole size — the opposite of the Classic boot advice. Wide feet? Going up is also the comfortable call.
Socks or barefoot?
The Tasman is designed for barefoot wear, and the lining is doing its best work against skin. A thin sock won't change the length fit; thick winter socks make the collar entry feel tighter without changing how long the shoe is. If thick socks are your default, factor that in when choosing between two sizes.
UGG sizing has one more wrinkle worth knowing — the brand labels its footwear in US sizes, so conversion matters when you're comparing against other shoes in your wardrobe. Our full UGG sizing & conversion guide has the complete US/UK/EU tables, the measuring method, and the style-by-style rules.
7 | Care — Keeping Your UGG Slippers Fresh
Suede and soft linings reward a little routine care, and slippers arguably need it more than boots — they're worn daily, often barefoot, for months at a stretch. The golden rules are short:
- Never machine wash, never tumble dry. Hand cleaning with cold water only.
- No direct heat. Radiators and hair dryers harden and shrink the materials permanently. Air-dry only, 24–48 hours.
- Protect before first wear. A suede protector spray creates an invisible barrier that repels water and resists stains — the single best thing you can do, reapplied every 4–6 weeks in season.
The quick routine
- Brush dry dirt with a suede brush, in one direction only, following the nap.
- For marks, use a barely-damp sponge with a small amount of sheepskin cleaner, worked gently — never soak the slipper.
- Stuff with newspaper and stand upright to dry naturally, away from sunlight and heat.
- Brush again once bone dry to restore the texture.
Freshness, specifically
For slippers worn barefoot, odour management is half the job. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight and shake out in the morning — it absorbs odour without harming the lining. Air them in open space after wear, and if you own more than one pair, rotate: the lining recovers its loft between wears and both pairs last longer.
Dye transfer from dark jeans, salt marks, water tide lines, seasonal storage — the full treatment for every scenario is in our complete UGG cleaning & care guide. The same methods apply to slippers as to boots.

9 | Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best UGG slippers?
For most people, the Tasman II — its closed back and outdoor-rated sole make it the most versatile slipper UGG makes, working indoors and out. Choose the Tazz if you want the 1.75-inch platform and a bolder statement silhouette, and the Scuffette II if your slipper will live indoors and easy on-off comfort is the priority. All three are in stock at OD's, an authorised UK UGG stockist.
What's the difference between the UGG Tasman and Tazz?
They share the woven UGGbraid collar, but the difference is entirely below the foot: the Tasman is flat and flexible with a low-profile structured sole, while the Tazz adds a 1.75-inch EVA platform that changes the height, weight and overall presence of the shoe. The Tasman is the understated everyday option; the Tazz is the statement. Our full Tasman vs Tazz guide compares them line by line.
Can you wear UGG slippers outside?
The Tasman II and Tazz are designed for both indoor and outdoor wear — the Tasman's outdoor-rated outsole handles pavement, and the Tazz's platform puts even more sole underfoot. The open-heel Scuffette II is built for indoors. None of the standard slippers are waterproof, so save them for dry days and apply a protector spray before first wear.
Are UGG slippers true to size?
Yes. Unlike UGG's Classic boots — where the advice is to buy snug — the slippers fit true to size. The Tasman and Tazz have a rigid woven collar that doesn't stretch, so order your normal size and go up rather than down if you're between sizes. The open-heel Scuffette is also true to size. See our UGG sizing guide for full US/UK/EU conversion tables.
Do UGG slippers come in half sizes?
No — UGG doesn't make half sizes across most of its range, and the slippers at OD's run in whole UK sizes (3–7 on the Tasman II and Tazz, 3–8 on the Scuffette II at the time of writing). If your true size is a half, round up to the next whole size for slippers — the opposite of the Classic boot rule.
Do UGG make men's slippers?
Yes — the men's Tasman II is the core men's slipper, in stock at OD's in Black, Chestnut and Dusted Cocoa. There's no men's Tazz in the current UGG range, so men wanting that platform look are usually pointed at the Tasman family. Browse the live range in our men's UGG collection.
How do I clean UGG slippers?
By hand, with cold water only — never machine wash, never use direct heat. Brush dry dirt with a suede brush in one direction, spot-clean marks with a barely-damp sponge and sheepskin cleaner, stuff with newspaper and air-dry for 24–48 hours. For odour, baking soda inside overnight works without harming the lining. Full step-by-step methods are in our UGG care guide.
