As we approach the winter season, Ugg is helping consumers stay warm and toasty against the colder weather with the launch of the Ugg Fuzz Sugar Slides. Available in two colorways -- black and beige -- the new slippers feature an UGGplush™ upcycled wool-blend body, lining, and insole. This material is crafted from reclaimed and low-impact materials, making the composition carbon-neutral.
The Ugg Fuzz Sugar Slides boast treaded SugarSole™ foam rubber outsole, made with renewable sugarcane, that enables the shoes to be worn both indoors and outside. In addition, the slippers are detailed with a recycled leather-blend logo patch at the vamp and a textile-woven logo at the insole.
The new shoes are available online and participating retailers.
