FAQs
Can my child wear these shoes outside?
Yes, the UGG Tasman II Kids is designed for both indoor and light outdoor use, thanks to its durable outsole. However, it's best suited for dry weather conditions.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner and blot, do not rub. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. It's recommended to treat them with a suede protector spray to help repel water and resist stains, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is either a responsible sugarcane EVA, which reduces dependency on fossil fuels, or a Treadlite by UGG™ outsole, both providing lightweight durability and traction.
Are UGG Tasman II Kids true to size?
Generally, UGG Tasman II Kids fit true to size. However, it's always best to consult the UGG sizing chart and measure your child's foot for the most accurate fit.
What is HERproject?
HERproject is a collaborative initiative that partners with brands like UGG to empower and educate women in the workplace, supporting factories that produce UGG products.
Can I put them in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and the overall structure of the shoes. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to smooth the fibers.
Water spots or stains appear on suede
If already wet, let them air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently buff the area. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then brush.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
While UGGs are generally true to size, initial wear may feel snug. They often mold to the foot over time. Ensure the correct size was purchased. If persistent discomfort, compare to sizing charts or consider if a different size is needed.
Outsole shows excessive wear quickly
The outsole is durable, but constant rough outdoor use can cause wear. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended casual purpose (indoor/light outdoor) and not for high-impact activities. Rotate with other footwear if worn frequently.
Shoes develop an odor
Allow the shoes to air out regularly after wear. For persistent odor, sprinkle baking soda inside, leave overnight, then shake out thoroughly. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your child's UGG Tasman II Kids is as simple as putting them on. There are no complicated steps or adjustments.
- Ensure Correct Size: Before first wear, double-check that the size (UK 12 for this product) provides a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight or loose. A thumb's width space at the toe is generally a good indicator.

- Everyday Wear: Pairs well with casual clothing such as jeans, leggings, shorts, and comfortable dresses.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the suede material and extending the life of your child's UGG Tasman II Kids.
- Protect Before Wear: Apply a high-quality suede and sheepskin protector spray before the first use and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and resist stains. Follow the product's instructions for application.
- Cleaning Suede:
- Brush Regularly: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. Always brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with cool water and a small amount of UGG cleaner (or a mild suede cleaner). Gently blot the stained area. Do NOT rub.
- Air Dry: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help maintain shape during drying.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing the shoes in rain, snow, or excessively wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely and then brush gently.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help them retain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
- Do NOT Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the suede and the shoe's structure.
Note: For persistent stains or deep cleaning, consider professional suede cleaning services. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
