- fit width
- Built on UGG's standard medium width, with no wide option listed; a buyer survey reports 92% felt true to width.
- sizing for socks
- Consider going up one size for thick wool socks because the 17mm UGGplush lining already fills interior volume.

- Measure heel to longest toe against a wall and choose the larger size if between two sizes.
- size run
- Sizes 8 through 12 are offered in Black at a flat 250 CAD, all in stock at time of listing.

- styling
- Black suede mule-boot styling with braided collar, tonal UGG embroidery, GORE-TEX tag and reflective toe accent.
- suitable uses

- materials and sustainability

For staying dry in wet, messy conditions
Slip into these UGG mule boots when rain, slush, or mud is in the forecast. The waterproof suede exterior and GORE-TEX membrane are designed to keep moisture out, while a rubber mudguard adds extra protection from the elements.[1,2]
Warm slip-on boots for cold-weather outings
A slip-on mule boot built for getting outside in cold weather, rated down to -20°C. Its warm UGGplush™ lining is a recycled wool blend, while waterproof suede with a GORE-TEX membrane and a Vibram® outsole with traction help you handle slick or off-trail conditions.[1,2]
Winter traction on slick surfaces
For getting around on icy or slick winter ground, these slip-on boots feature a Vibram® outsole with ICETREK rubber overlays that the brand says provides traction on slick surfaces. They're built for cold-weather wear, with waterproof suede, a GORE-TEX internal membrane, and a rating to -20°C.[1,2]
Light off-trail exploring in cold, wet weather
UGG's Tasman Guard GTX is a slip-on boot built to handle a little off-trail time, with waterproof suede, a GORE-TEX internal membrane, and a rubber mudguard to protect from the elements. It is cold-weather rated to minus 20 degrees Celsius, lined in warm UGGplush upcycled wool blend, and has a Vibram outsole for traction on slick surfaces, so you can get outside while still looking good.[1]
Slip-on winter mules you can pull on quickly
These UGG Tasman Guard GTX boots are a slip-on style, and each heel has a vertical fabric pull tab — the back pull loop is there to make pulling them on easy. That makes them a candidate for quick trips outside in cold weather, where a lace-up boot would slow you down.[1,2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Tasman Guard Gtx Mule Boots Men: Choose this if you want an easy slip-on winter mule with genuine weather protection: it combines a waterproof suede upper with a GORE-TEX membrane, is cold-weather rated to minus 20 degrees C, and has a rubber mudguard plus a Vibram outsole (with ICETREK rubber overlays) that the brand says provides traction on slick surfaces. Inside, a warm UGGplush lining in a 60 percent recycled wool and 40 percent TENCEL lyocell blend and a back pull loop for easy on add everyday comfort and convenience. Note that it is a low-profile mule silhouette with a low back opening, so it suits wearers who want quick on-off style rather than a full-height boot.[1,2,4] | Scuff Mule Slippers Men: Choose this if you want a cozy, open-back mule slipper with a suede upper, 17mm sheepskin footbed, and plush UGGplush lining of upcycled sheep wool and TENCEL Lyocell, with a cushioned SugarSole foam outsole partly made from renewable sugarcane. Wearers describe the sheepskin as very cozy and some report no fur loss over time, though one found them still pretty thin, and one reviewer suggests sizing up for a comfy fit. It includes at least 40% recycled, renewable, regenerated, or certified natural materials by weight, and comes in Black or Copper/Rust in sizes 7 through 12.[5,6,7,8] |
