The Best Water-Resistant UGGs That’ll Actually Keep Your Feet Dry

You love your UGGs. They’re warm, cosy, and easy to slip on for a quick coffee run or a school drop-off. But the second it rains? Game over. That plush sheepskin interior turns into a soggy mess, and suddenly you're sloshing around in boots that feel more like sponges than shoes.

Sound familiar? A lot of people don’t realise that most classic UGG boots aren’t built for wet weather — until they’ve already stepped into a puddle. That’s where this guide comes in. We’ve tracked down the best water-resistant and waterproof UGGs you can actually wear on rainy days — without sacrificing style or comfort.

Whether you’re looking for something sleek and urban or something a bit more rugged, you’ll walk away from this article knowing exactly which pairs are worth your money — and which ones will finally keep your feet dry.

What Makes a UGG Water-Resistant or Waterproof?

Let’s clear something up: not all UGGs are made equal when it comes to wet weather.

Classic UGG boots

The ones made with untreated suede and sheepskin, are not built for rain. Even a light drizzle can leave stains, soak through the fabric, and damage the interior lining. That plush, cosy feel? Gone the second water gets in.

So, what does make a pair of UGGs rain-ready?

The Upper Material Matters

Water-resistant UGGs often feature treated suede, coated leather, or synthetic materials designed to repel moisture. Some styles, like the UGG Platinum Coated Rain Boots, go a step further with an exterior that actively beads water off the surface — like rain on a windshield.

Sealed Seams or Rubber Shells

Another key difference? Construction. Proper waterproof UGGs usually have sealed seams or a moulded rubber outer shell to stop water sneaking in through the stitching. The UGG Platform Waterproof Boot Shield is a good example of this — it has a rugged base and a water-repellent upper that can handle puddles.

Lining That Still Feels Like UGGs

The good news is, you don’t have to sacrifice that iconic UGG feel. Most water-resistant and waterproof styles still have a soft inner lining often a wool blend that’s warm and moisture-wicking, so your feet stay dry and comfy.

Grip and Traction

Rainy days mean slippery footpaths, so these UGGs also come with better traction outsoles — designed to give you more grip, even in wet conditions.

The Best Water-Resistant UGGs for Rainy Days

Not all water-resistant boots are made equal — some are clunky, others lose the charm that made you love UGGs in the first place. The ones below strike the right balance: they’re warm, comfy, and built to handle Aussie rain without looking like you’re off on a bushwalk.

Here are the top picks that tick all the boxes:

UGG Platform Waterproof Boot Shield

If you want something that means business in wet weather, this is it.

The UGG Platform Boot Shield is built like a tank — in the best way. The chunky platform sole gives you extra height (great for stepping through puddles), and the waterproof outer layer is designed to repel rain like no one’s business. It’s got a rugged, street-style edge that pairs just as well with leggings as it does with cargo trousers.

Why you’ll love it:

• Fully waterproof outer shell with a water-repellent upper

• Sturdy platform sole for elevation and grip

• Warm inner lining that keeps your feet toasty

• Tough look that still works in everyday outfits

Best for: City commuters, school runs, and anyone who’s been burned by wet UGGs before.

UGG Platinum Coated Rain Boots

Want something sleek and simple that still keeps your feet dry? The UGG Platinum Coated Rain Boots are a solid bet.

These have a more classic shape, so they don’t scream “rain boots”, but the coated exterior makes them far more water-resistant than your standard suede UGGs. Plus, they’re lightweight and easy to pull on, which is perfect for day-to-day wear.

Why you’ll love them:

• Sleek, minimal design with a smooth, coated finish

• Lightweight build, perfect for all-day wear

• Treated upper resists water without feeling stiff

• Still super warm inside

Best for: Everyday wear, light rainy days, and a more low-key look.

UGG Vivily

Looking for something water-resistant that still feels like the cosy UGGs you know and love? The UGG Vivily is a stylish option that doesn’t skimp on comfort.

It’s not fully waterproof, but it is water-resistant — meaning it can handle light rain or damp streets without turning into a soggy mess. The suede has been treated to repel water, and the classic ankle shape gives it that familiar UGG silhouette.

Why you’ll love them:

• Treated suede for water resistance

• Classic UGG shape with a modern twist

• Cosy sheepskin lining

• Slim fit that works with jeans or tights

Best for: Mild rainy days, chilly mornings, and everyday errands.

Special Mention: Claudine Summer Slides

Alright, these aren’t your typical rainy-day shoes — but hear us out.

Not every wet day is cold. Sometimes, it’s humid, sticky, and you’re just trying to keep your feet dry without sweating through a full boot. That’s where the Claudine Summer Slides come in. While they’re not waterproof in the technical sense, they’re a handy option for those in-between days when it’s wet underfoot but not cold enough for full coverage.

With a moulded rubber sole and raised footbed, they keep your feet elevated above damp ground. And since they’re easy to slip on and off, they’re perfect for quick errands or a run to the beach café after a light shower.

• Why you might want them:

• Open design that works well on warm, wet days

• Chunky rubber sole helps keep your feet off the wet pavement

• Lightweight and easy to clean

• Great for casual wear with a bit of edge

Best for: Warm-weather drizzle, beach towns, and anyone who hates soggy sandals.
