Bombas launched a shearling-lined Ugg lookalike—here’s how the $150 boots compare on care and durability
Two cozy ankle boot styles
Bombas describes its new Saturday Suede Boot as a blend of slipper-like comfort and an outdoor-ready sole. Made with supple suede and a shearling lining, it has an EVA lug sole designed for cushioned comfort during casual wear.
Ugg’s Classic Mini II is a reissue of the brand’s iconic boot. The updated version has improved sole traction and water resistance. Both styles are presented as warm options for winter wear.
Materials and everyday wear
The article describes sheep leather as soft, light and flexible, with a polished appearance as it ages. It also notes that sheepskin is more delicate, though it can last for years with proper care.
According to The Leather City, cowhide suits outdoor activities better, while sheep leather is valued in high-end fashion. The source also says cow leather lasts longer and needs less maintenance than sheepskin.
Colors, care and water
Bombas offers the boot in men’s and women’s styles. The men’s version comes in River Slate and Camel, while the women’s version is available in River Slate, Camel and Taupe Sand.
Both brands say their boots receive treatment to help resist light rain and water. The article recommends brushing away dirt and applying protective spray every few months to maintain that protection. Some reviews of the Ugg Classic Mini II say small water droplets left stains, despite its applied water-repellent treatment.
