The Mystery of UGG sizing
So, you want to know what size to get for your UGG Australia boots. You like the Gaviota, the Classic Short, and have even been looking at the Dakota. Your figure, hey, I’m a size 8.5, I’ll get a size 8 for all of these! Hold on a second, though; each of these styles has a different sizing recommendation!
What many people aren’t aware of is that the sizing for UGG Australia shoes varies depending on the collection. The Gaviota is part of the Surf collection, which does stretch a little bit, but the most you want to size down is a half size.
On the other hand, everything in the Classic collection runs large and stretches with each wear. For the Classic Collection (which has such items as the Classic Short, Classic Tall, and Bailey Button) UGG Australia recommends that you size down a full size. If you’re a half size, hold on to your hat: while UGG recommends sizing down a half size if you are between sizes (a size 8.5 would then get an 8), we at FleeceFootwear.com have found from personal experience that we are far more comfortable sizing down a size and a half. Based on our experience, a size 8.5 would be happier with a size 7 Classic in the long run, primarily because this collection is known to stretch so much.
