There are numerous styles of Ugg boots on the market. However, many are made of soft suede sheepskin and not water repellent. These boots must not be worn in any kind of rain or snow unless a water repellent is first applied to the boots. There are many water repellents available but not all repellents are safe for suede leather. It is important to only use repellents formulated specifically for the material on which they will be used.
