Best Waterproof Ugg Boots for Kids – Can Kids Wear Ugg Boots in the Snow?

Ugg boots are some of the warmest and most comfortable boots children love to wear, but most of their styles are not fully waterproof. This means your child’s feet will get wet and cold if you allow them to wear the boots in the snow or the rain. Parents often question whether UGG boots are suitable for snowy conditions. While traditional UGG boots aren’t designed for heavy snow, the waterproof versions are more than capable of handling light snow and slushy conditions. These boots offer a versatile option for winter wear, combining style and practicality.

Is It Safe to Wear Ugg Boots in the Snow?

Yes, as long as they are waterproof. The Ugg boots that I recommend can be worn in the snow as they are waterproof, warm, and hold up to stains so they won’t get discolored. However, keep in mind that UGG boots may not have the same level of traction as specialized snow boots. If you plan to have your child play in the snow for several hours then you should consider buying a pair of actual snow boots.

What Boot Size Should You Order?

As far as sizing concerns, I recommend parents provide their kids with a whole size bigger than their actual foot size to allow them to wear the boots for the whole winter season. Keep in mind that Ugg boots are not available in half sizes, they are available in whole sizes only. This means that if your child measures a foot size 1, I recommend providing your child with a boot size 2. If your child measures a foot size 1 ½, then I recommend providing your child with a boot size 3.

Can You Make UGG Boots Waterproof?

While UGG offers waterproof options, you might be wondering if you can waterproof existing UGG boots. The answer is yes! With a little care and the right products, you can extend the life of your existing boots and make them more suitable for wet conditions. 

There is an Ugg cleaning kit that includes a waterproof spray specifically designed for suede or sheepskin materials. Before applying, ensure the boots are clean and dry. Spray the boots evenly and allow them to dry completely before wearing. 

Should Children Wear Socks with Ugg Boots?

One common question parents have is whether their children should wear socks with Ugg boots. I strongly suggest that your child wears socks with the boots at all times to prevent the buildup of bacteria and fungus inside the boots. Skin infections such as athlete’s foot and dermatitis might occur if your child is not wearing socks with the boots, since bare feet can really sweat in fur.
