UGG Scuffette II Review: Are Pricey Slippers Worth It?
UGG's backless sheepskin slipper, the one many moms wear for years. What you pay extra for compared with fuzzy drugstore slippers, and who needs a closed heel instead.
Yes, for a mom with cold floors and slippers that have gone flat. Real sheepskin stays warm without getting sweaty, and the backless shape slides on with no hands. Skip them if she needs arch support or a closed heel to walk safely around the house.

The upgrade she never makes herself
Many moms wear the same slippers until the sole is paper thin. Spending on good slippers feels indulgent, so they rarely buy a real pair for themselves, which is what makes it a good gift.
The Scuffette is the plain, backless UGG that has been in the lineup for years, and the Amazon listing has been live since 2013 [1].
Sheepskin, suede and a real sole
The point of sheepskin is temperature. It keeps feet warm on cold floors and does not turn sweaty the way synthetic fleece does, so she can wear them all evening.
A suede upper and a rubber sole mean she can step out to the porch or the mailbox without changing shoes. It is not a walking shoe, but it does not fall apart on the first wet step either.
Sheepskin also helps with smell. Wool fibers handle moisture better than foam and fleece, so the slippers stay fresher through a winter of daily wear, which is not true of cheap pairs.
Feet that need more support
These are soft slippers. A mom with plantar fasciitis, flat feet or knee pain may need a slipper with arch support and a closed heel instead, and her comfort matters more than the brand.
Backless slippers can also slide off on stairs, which matters in a house with steep steps or for an older mom.
If you are not sure, ask her what bothers her about her current slippers. If the answer is the cold, these are right; if it is her heels or arches, look for a supportive pair.
Sizing and wrapping them
Check her usual shoe size, and keep the gift receipt in case the fit is off. Sheepskin slippers often feel snug at first and loosen with wear.
From this guide, they pair well with the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for reading in bed on cold nights, or with the Yankee Candle Balsam & Cedar Large Jar Candle for a quiet winter evening.
FAQ
Can you wear UGG Scuffette II slippers outside?
For short trips, yes. The rubber sole handles the porch, the driveway or the mailbox. They are house slippers first, so long walks or wet snow will wear the suede faster. For real outdoor wear, a boot is the better choice [1]
Do UGG Scuffettes run true to size?
Many people order their usual size and find them snug at first, then looser as the sheepskin settles. If she is between sizes, check her past UGG sizes if she has any, and keep the gift receipt so an exchange is easy after Christmas [1]
Are UGG slippers worth the price for mom?
If she wears slippers every day, usually yes. Cheap fuzzy slippers flatten in a season, while sheepskin stays warm and comfortable for years with normal care. If she only wears slippers now and then, a less expensive pair is fine [1]
