Customer Reviews UGG Dakota

Very narrow - These slippers are cute and very warm but very narrow. I wear a normal-width shoe, but my feet are on the wide side. When I put these slippers on, they were tight around my toes but slipped off the back of my heels when I walked. I had to return them, unfortunately.

My girlfriend was looking greedily at my new lavender slipper Uggs. Beautiful color. Tie sewn together so it wouldn’t come undone. I know the lining is pure wool. Friend said, “They will never fit you!” (She wears an 8 1/2 and I wear a 9. Nine in an Uggs always fits me unless made in China. I checked the tag. These were made in The Philippines.) Worried. My foot had to be forced inside due to the front width being narrow. I understand Uggs sometimes need to be worn a bit to loosen up. I could wear this pair for a year every day and they would be tight. Being the owner of 15 pairs of Uggs, I know exactly where the buyer stands. Since Uggs moved their manufacturing out of New Zealand and into China or other Asian countries it’s hit or miss whether the wool is true authentic Ugg wool and the sizing is haphazard. Often too small with one Ugg differently sized than the other foot. I’m an on-line ordering junkie and broke my promise which I will share. Always buy your Uggs in the store and try them on first to save the disappointment and effort of having to return. But you can make a smaller-footed friend very pleased when you’re willing to gift immediately. Dratz!

Today I tried on a pair of Dakotas in two different colors, same size. I was shocked that one pair was much wider, loose and fit kind of sloppy unlike the other. The wide one was made in China and the comfortable one was made in Vietnam. The same size and style! Beware!

The lining of these Ugg slippers is nowhere near as good quality as it used to be. Now, the lining just gets weirdly matted and flattened down into a hard inner sole very quickly. I’m not comparing to the very first Uggs, which used to have the sheepskin lining, but I am comparing these exact same Ugh slippers I had in past years - the synthetic lining used to be much higher quality than it is now. The fluffy insole used to stay softer and nice for longer. It used to feel much nicer against my bare feet. Now it feels synthetic and cheap. The outer quality seems just as good and I had now issue with stitching so far. Now, I’m not convinced these slippers are worth the price.

I'd worn Dakotas for decades but no more, sadly these were my last Uggs after having bought many styles. Purchased these Dakotas in 2017 & by 2020 the insole & all linings were completely worn through with just indoor wear; previous Dakotas had lasted me about 10 years with new insoles at 5 years. The quality decline began when Uggs changed manufacturing locations: Uggs are no longer the quality footwear they once were. I switched to LL Bean sheepskin slippers & thus far am getting better quality at a lower price for the exact same type slipper.

My last pair of slippers from UGG lasted 10 years. These are not the same. They are uncomfortable and fall apart. DO NOT BUY!

The slipper were an ugly pink unlike what it showed on the internet AND the slippers were so huge they would not even stay on my feet. Certainly not like usual Ugg quality.

Tough on sizing. For reference I wear an 8 in Asics, Lucky, and Sam Edelman, and I wear a 7.5 in Vans, Chuck Taylor, and Frye. I wear a size 7 Ugg in the Classics, Ansley and Dakota. I have tried Uggs in size 8 and find that they slip off my heel at first try on. The Ugg 7 is snug on me, but breaks in and molds to my feet. I have gotten 2 different pair that were way to tight and had to be returned, the sizes are not always consistent.

These are super comfortable boots! I ordered a 7 (usually a 6-1/2) and they were perfect!

The fit was very comfortable. True to size

Perfect slipper. This is my 3rd pair! I wear the almost all day every day!
