After seeing people in shul wearing UGGS, I want to make everyone aware that UGGS are leather & may not be worn on yom kippur & Tisha b'av.
Wishing everyone a good year.

They are suede leather. Suede is the underside of leather.

The body of the boots is made of animal hide, which is leather.

even canvas shoes may have a leather insert
all plastic shoes are best like crocs, natives, many sold with other names as well

When I took my slippers to check for shatnez the man said that uggs are not shatnez
As of 1 year ago don’t know if it changed since

Suade is leather. All UGGS are leather (as per UGGS customer service.)
I think for next year, notices need to be put in community circulars.

It depends on the model and style shoe...

Often the insert is leather even if the material is not

it says sheepskin which I assume is the furry part (collar and lining) is sheepskin leather? In that case any wool sweater can also be problematic? I thought leather is a highly refined part of the skin not a hairy material
