Wool fleece helps maintain body temperature, making UGG Australia footwear appropriate for all climates. In fact, the wool will keep your feet warm down to -30 F and cool up to 80 FHalf size informationUgg recommends that you order down if you are a half size. In theory, I am a size 8.5 W. So for me, based on Ugg recommendation, I should wear a size 8. When I did that, the size 8 was snug but comfortable. After about a year or so of wear, the toe started wearing thin to the point that there is now a hole in it.I ordered the size up, a size 9. It was only slightly large and still comfortable. After some wear they slide some, but replacing the sole insert helps to get the fit back.I admit that the size 8 was quite comfortable and a better fit, with proper support to the foot. It was only slightly snug because of the fleece lining allowing for a bit larger foot.
