FAQs
What is the primary material of the UGG® Minimel Trainer?
The trainer features a mixed-media upper, primarily composed of suede and 100% recycled fibers.
What makes the outsole special?
The outsole is made from an ultra-lightweight sugarcane EVA, providing excellent cushioning and comfort for all-day wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the recycled fiber elements offer some resilience, the suede material is sensitive to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush for dust and light marks. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does the 'dual-lace system' mean?
It means the trainers come with two sets of flat laces, allowing you to choose different colors or simply switch up the lacing style for a personalized look.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The UGG® Minimel Trainers are designed for comfort and style in casual settings. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities or sports that require specialized support or performance features.
What is the RISE initiative mentioned in the description?
RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality) is a program that partners with brands to support and empower women in the supply chain. Purchasing these trainers supports a factory that participates in this initiative.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush or suede eraser to gently remove surface dirt and marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water on suede.
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear
The Minimel trainers are designed for immediate comfort, but some slight stiffness may occur. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot shape. The lightweight construction should prevent significant break-in discomfort.
Laces are difficult to style
Experiment with different tying methods using the dual-lace system. Simple loops, double knots, or creative bows can all alter the appearance. Refer to online tutorials for various lacing techniques if needed.
Slight odor after wear
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Using shoe deodorizers or inserting cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: For routine cleaning, use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid using water directly on suede unless absolutely necessary, and if so, use sparingly and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Cleaning Recycled Fibers/Textile: A slightly damp cloth can be used for minor marks on the textile portions. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
- Outsole Care: The sugarcane EVA outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Laces: The flat laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if needed.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, though always test on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility.
