UGG Tasman vs Tazz: Which Slipper Should You Buy?

11 novembre 2026

Ask anyone what UGG slipper to buy and you will hear two names: the Tasman and the Tazz. Both are suede slippers lined with sheepskin, both are worn outside as much as indoors, and both sell out every winter. The difference is mostly height and attitude. This guide explains which one fits your days.

Quick comparison

	Tasman	Tazz
Look	Low, classic slipper with the braided collar	Same shape on a chunky platform sole
Height	Flat, about 1 in (2.5 cm) of sole	Platform, about 1.5 in (4 cm)
Lining	Sheepskin	Sheepskin
Outsole	Light EVA, fine for errands	Thicker platform, more grip and more distance from wet ground
Fit	Snug at first, packs down about half a size	Same; the platform adds weight, not room
Best for	Home, school run, coffee, flights	Outfits, city walking, anyone who wants the height

UGG Tasman: the original

The Tasman is the slipper that turned UGG into a year-round brand. A suede upper, a full sheepskin lining that moulds to your foot, and the signature Tasman braid around the collar. The sole is light and flexible, which makes it the more comfortable of the two to wear for hours at home, and it is low enough to slip on without thinking.

It works outside for short trips: the driveway, the school gate, the café. It is not a shoe for a long walk on wet pavement; the suede marks and the thin sole lets cold through. The current version on our site is the Tasman II, and the Tasman Weather Hybrid adds a waterproof build for the people who ignore that advice.

Choose the Tasman if you want the classic look, the lightest feel, and a slipper that lives by the door. Shop Tasman.

UGG Tazz: the platform

The Tazz is the Tasman's silhouette lifted onto a thick platform. That platform does three things: it adds about an inch and a half of height, it keeps the suede and your feet further from puddles, and it turns a slipper into something you can build an outfit around. It is the one you see with jeans and wide trousers on the street rather than on the sofa.

The trade-off is weight and stiffness. The Tazz is heavier than the Tasman and the platform flexes less, so for lounging it is a little less relaxed. On the plus side it handles a city day far better than the flat version. The Tazz II is the current model.

Choose the Tazz if you will wear it outside most of the time, you like the height, or you want the more fashion-led look. Shop Tazz.

Two close cousins

The Tazzette is a Tazz with a hidden wedge, for a little more lift and a dressier line. The Coquette is UGG's other classic slipper: a closed-toe slide with a moulded rubber sole and no braid, easier to kick on and off than either of the above, and the Disquette is its platform version.

Sizing

UGG makes these in whole sizes only. Both run true to size and feel snug on day one; the sheepskin compresses after a week or two and gives you back roughly half a size. If you normally wear a half size, go down, not up. Our UGG styles are listed in US women's sizes with the EU equivalent in brackets. The full detail is in our UGG sizing guide.
