Do You Wear Socks With Ugg Boots?
Ugg boots have been around since the 1970s, but they’ve become more popular in recent years – mostly due to their warm, comfortable fit and stylish look. However, one question that’s often asked is: Do you wear socks with Ugg boots?
Let’s take a closer look at whether you should wear socks with Uggs or slip them on over your bare feet.
What’s So Special About Ugg Boots?
One unique aspect about Ugg boots is that they are only made from responsibly-sourced materials. The company only purchases hides and wool from its permitted animal hides list to ensure the materials used in making Ugg boots are food industry by-products.
Also, every new pair of Uggs is made using high-quality materials.
While the relaxed shoe structure doesn’t provide a lot of arch support, the sheepskin lining provides all of the warmth needed from winter boots. Plus, it feels super soft against your bare skin.

Uggs Construction
Original UGG boots are lined with a plush interior for warmth, which ensures your feet stay comfortable regardless of the temperature outside.
The insulation is designed to keep your feet warm but not too hot, even in mild weather. This is good because no one wants to walk around with sweaty, smelly feet.
UGG boots are designed with a thermostatic sheepskin lining, so they will keep your feet warm in chilly climates and cool in warm weather. The sheepskin also wicks away moisture, so your feet stay dry, and it creates a natural cushioning for added comfort.
What Do The Experts Say About Wearing Socks With Ugg Boots?
Real UGGs are made of genuine Australian sheepskin and shouldn’t be worn with socks. This is due to the unique properties of Merino wool.
This type of wool is made up of extremely soft and hollow fibers, which play an important role in regulating body temperature. It’s able to absorb and retain moisture, as well as to wick it away from the skin.
Additionally, its breathability helps to maintain a comfortable temperature for the wearer, even in extreme weather.
The presence of lanolin in Merino wool further adds to its ability to insulate and regulate body temperature. Of course, direct contact with the soft wool is also very comfortable.

Pros and Cons Of Wearing Socks With Ugg Boots
It might come as a surprise, but real Ugg boots aren’t actually meant to be worn with socks. Of course, there are varying opinions on the topic.
Some people insist wearing socks help keep their feet warmer, while others find that wearing socks with their Uggs makes their feet sweat more.
Pros of wearing socks with Uggs:
- Keeps the boots from getting smelly
- Helps the boots maintain their shape, even with consistent wear
- Might be more comfortable if your Ugg boots have worn-down sheepskin
- Sheepskin keeps your feet warm
Cons of wearing socks with Uggs:
- Sweat gathers in the Ugg lining, which can leave an odor in the boots
- Sheepskin may make your feet feel too hot if you wear socks too
Different Types Of Socks To Wear With Ugg Boots
While Uggs weren’t meant to be worn with socks, you might prefer to wear them so your Uggs don’t smell or you don’t get sweaty feet. Some people believe socks also make the boot fit better and provide extra warmth and cushioning.
But what type of socks should you wear with your Uggs?
There are lots of different types of socks that can be worn with Ugg boots. Thicker wool socks are ideal for colder climates and provide extra cushioning, while thinner socks are great for warmer weather and are more discreet.
No-show socks are also popular as they keep the Ugg boots hidden underneath. People also like to mix and match different colors of socks with their Ugg boots, to create a unique style.
If you want to wear socks with Uggs just for the look of it, you can do that, too. Typically, this is done with the Ugg classic ultra mini style as they sit much lower on the leg/ankle. These socks are great for that (they are the ones being worn most of the photos above).
Best Ways To Style Ugg Boots With Socks
Ugg boots are a stylish and comfortable winter essential for any wardrobe. While the classic look of Uggs is usually worn without socks, pairing them with socks can create a whole new style.
This can be especially beneficial during an extra cold winter when you want to stay warm and stylish. Here are some of the best ways to style Ugg boots with socks:
- Pair your Ugg boots with mid-calf or knee-high socks to keep your feet and legs extra warm.
- For a playful look, try wearing patterned or brightly-colored socks with your Uggs.
- For a more classic look, pair your Uggs with cable-knit socks.
- For mini Ugg boots, throw on a pair of scrunchy stacked socks.
These are just a few of the ways that you can style Ugg boots with socks. With a bit of experimentation, you’ll be able to find the perfect look for you!
Tips For Keeping Your Feet Warm In Ugg Boots
- Wearing the right kind of socks with your Ugg boots helps keep your feet extra warm. You should choose a pair of socks made from a warm, breathable material like wool or cotton.
- Make sure the socks are snug enough to provide a good fit but not too tight that they limit circulation. Additionally, make sure the socks are long enough to keep your ankles and calves warm. This will also help to prevent any blisters or chafing that can occur when wearing Ugg boots.
- Finally, if you are wearing your Uggs in cold weather, consider adding an extra layer of insulation, such as fleece-lined socks or boot liners, for extra warmth.
When Not To Wear Socks With Ugg Boots
You never have to wear socks with your Ugg boots because the boots are already ultra-comfy on their own. In fact, there are times when you should skip the socks completely.
- If you’re wearing a pair of Ugg boots in warm weather, adding a pair of socks to the mix might make your feet sweat more.
- If you’re wearing Uggs on a rainy day, you might want to skip the socks. Your Uggs will dry out faster without the extra fabric inside, and it’s not a good idea to walk around with soggy feet.
- If you’re wearing a pair of ankle boots, you might want to go barefoot too. Adding socks to the mix might ruin the feel of the outfit.
- If you’re wearing a pair of Ugg slippers.
What Pants Should You Wear With Your Ugg Boots
If you don’t want to wear socks with your Uggs but still want to keep your legs warm, wear your boots with a pair of black leggings with fleece lining. This is also one of the easiest ways to style Uggs – just throw them on and go!

The added lining helps keep you extra warm on the coldest days. Of course, you can always wear your coziest leggings with your Uggs, regardless of whether they have an added lining.
Your favorite go-to jeans will also look great with your Uggs. Choosing a stylish pair of skinny jeans makes it easy to slide the ankle of the pants into the boots, but you can also wear your Uggs under flare-legged jeans.

Ugg Classic Ultra Mini styles work well with joggers and sweatsuits as they don’t scrunch your pants up as much at the bottom like the Ugg classic short boot might.
If you’re looking for a similar but more affordable Ugg boots option, the pair above is the perfect shoe. They’re roughly half the price of the traditional Ugg classic ultra mini but they’re just as comfortable.
Ultimately, whether you choose to wear socks with your Ugg boots comes down to personal preference. Ugg boots are known for their cozy, relaxed fit, and you may find that wearing socks with them makes you even more comfortable.
However, it’s fine if you don’t want to wear socks. The sheepskin will keep your feet warm in cold weather.
