This Not That: UGG Tazz Platform Slippers

With daycare and school drop-offs getting earlier and more hectic, I needed a pair of slippers that were warm enough for winter but easy to slide on when we’re rushing out the door. I initially tried the UGG Tazz slippers because I liked the look — they’re trendy and have that elevated platform style. But honestly, I was shocked at how stiff and uncomfortable they were for so long. They took forever to break in, and even then, they never felt quite right.

Like most UGGs, they’re also not waterproof. Living in Nashville, where surprise rain showers are basically a given, that’s a dealbreaker. My beige pair ended up covered in water stains after just a few wears — not cute.

So I decided to try a darker, more practical pair from Amazon, and I’m so glad I did. I freaking love them. These Dream Pairs slippers are technically house shoes, but I use them more for quick errands and school runs. They were incredibly comfortable right out of the box — no stiffness, no break-in period. They also fit more true to size than UGGs, with just enough room for socks.

They’ve become my go-to for everything from drop-offs to Pilates. If you’re looking for a cozy, easy-to-wear, budget-friendly alternative to UGGs that still looks cute and holds up well, I can’t recommend these enough.
