Can you replace the insoles in UGG® boots?

UGG® lovers everywhere know the pain of keeping their shoes clean. When brand new, a pair of UGG® slippers or boots feels like sheer luxury. As you wear them in, the sheepskin insoles break down into dingy, pilling, and matted bald spots under the heels and toes. They lose their cushion and that luxe feel you love.

Because of this, some UGG® boots and slippers have removeable insoles. Being able to remove, clean, or even replace your insoles helps the shoes last longer. Instead of investing in a new pair of boots, you can simply replace the insole.

The shoe manufacturer sells UGG® replacement insoles like the sheepskin insoles in their boots, but you don’t have to commit to one brand. Keep the soft, cozy feeling of your UGG® insoles plus the added arch support of PowerStep® wool insoles, good for those with foot pain from plantar fasciitis or flat feet.

Faux fur shoe inserts like FLAT SOCKS are replacement insoles for UGGs that provide just as much cushion and fuzziness with plenty more benefits. They are also the best option if you don't like wearing socks with UGG® slippers.

Which UGG® boots have removable insoles?

Not all UGG® boots have removeable insoles. Before you try to replace yours, it is important to know if the boots or slippers you own have that feature. Classic UGG® styles, for example, do not have removeable insoles and require that you clean the insole or use a fur shoe insert like FLAT SOCKS over top.

Look online on the manufacturer’s website under the “product detail” section to verify whether your UGG® boots have a removeable insole. You can also feel the inside of your boots and gently lift the insole at the heel to see if it will come out.

UGG® slipper insoles are usually replaceable. The leather boots for men and women, Chelsea boots, Chukka boots, and moccasins are a few more examples of the types of UGG® shoes that may have removeable insoles.
