Imagine you've been wearing your UGGs almost every day for a couple of months, and they just don't look like they used to. Where they were once stiff and straight, they now seem to slouch. So, how can you keep these UGGs nice and stiff?
Here’s how to keep your UGGs from slouching:
In the rest of this article, I’ll go through the above tips to ensure your UGGs are in pristine condition, no matter how much you wear them. I’ll also briefly touch on why slouching occurs in UGG boots.

Slouching occurs when your UGG boots crease and begin to bend. This will be noticeable as your once stiff boots will start to sink, making them look older and more worn.
This might happen because there isn't enough structure holding up your boots. You can imagine that if your shoes fit tightly, there would be enough tension to keep your UGGs secure and stop them from drooping. Since UGG boots tend to be a bit looser, there's more room around your foot for them to crease and bend, causing slouching.
It can also be caused by activity. If you’re always on the go in your UGGs and you wear them on a daily basis, you may find creasing happens quicker - which inevitably leads to sagging.
If your UGGs are slouching, it can seem like a cause for concern, but there are a few changes you can make to your routine to avoid this sagging.

The best way to fix slouching is to avoid it altogether! You can do this through proper UGG choice and care. To decrease the risk of your boots sagging prematurely, you'll need to keep them stiffly upright when you’re not wearing them and limit activity in UGGs. One way to do this is to purchase the right size.
Choosing the correct size is essential in avoiding sagging. You can do this by looking at the UGG sizing guide. On the website, UGG advises that you:

Another important UGG care tip is to limit running when wearing your boots. Overactivity may cause creasing in your UGGs, so try to stick to walking when wearing them.
If your boots are already slouching, it may be because they aren’t the correct size. In this case, there’s no need to spend money on another pair. You can fill them out using thick socks! This added padding will help keep your UGG boots stable.

If none of the above solutions seem to be working and you don’t want to spend money on a new pair, you can take your boots to a professional using the UGGRenew program. This program takes your old UGG boots and restores them to look as good as new.
You can opt to get a shampoo (which should reduce creasing and slouching), a shampoo and resole, or a complete restoration. The complete restoration process is the most expensive option, but it’s still relatively affordable (compared to buying new boots) and should put an end to the sagging.
You can keep your UGGs from slouching by buying the correct size, caring for your boots correctly, and using thick socks to keep them up properly. If this doesn't work, you can also moisten, shape, and dry your UGGs to get any creases out and, therefore, limit slouching.
Your last resort option can be investing in restoration from UGGRenew. This will leave your UGGs looking like they just came out of the box. Once you've invested in this process, you can follow the above guidelines in order to lessen the chances of your UGGs creasing again.
