UGG Goldenstar Sandals - Specifications
Price: £110
Colours: 2
Size range: UK 3 to 10
UGG is a brand renowned for its footwear, most famously the UGG boot – which I have own the same pair of for well over a decade now. It's also big in the world of slippers – its equally famous Tasmans selling faster than can be restocked.
But it's not just winter wear where UGG dominates – it has a selection of warmer weather options, which, unsurprisingly have also becoming hot property over the last couple of years. Last summer I added the UGG Goldenstar sandals to my collection, and they've proved worth every penny.
I've lost count of the amount of times I have been stopped by people to ask where they are from, or upon seeing the UGG logo are shocked by the brand behind such chic summer footwear. But the value doesn't just lie with how they look, or how versatile they are, but how cosy they are – so much so they secured a spot in our pick of the best comfortable sandals for women.
These sandals you didn't know you needed, but won't be able to live without. These are the most comfortable and chic sandals I have ever worn - so much so I'm dreading the weather change when I have to put them away for winter. And I'm not the only one, these sandals are selling very fast, so don't delay if you want a pair.
The versatility of these sandals cannot not be overestimated UGG – the most brilliant addition any summer capsule wardrobe, these work with everything from a special occasion summer dress to everyday with denim jeans and a T-shirt.
UGG Goldenstar Sandals: Comfort & Support
UGG has taken all the comfort and luxury it is so well known for, and created something really special with these sandals. I am lucky to see a lot of fashion items pass through the woman&home offices, but these sandals really stood out, so it's no wonder to see them still as popular this year too.
They fit perfectly, the high quality of UGG's craftmanship immediately obvious as soon as you put them on. The suede upper oozes luxury, while the foam-infused footbed, midsole and outsole provides more than enough comfort to wear them all day without issue. A bit like our pick of the most comfortable trainers for women, these sandals are the perfect combination of style and substance.
The hook and loop closure makes them easy to slip on and velcro allows you to fasten them at whatever fit best suits,. The elevated heel gives height and adds the illusion of a longer leg for a super flattering silhouette
The only downside to these some might argue is the price. At a RRP of £110 they are by no means cheap, particularly when you consider you'll only wear them for a few months of the year (if we're lucky). But as an owner of a 10-year-old pair of UGG boots that get worn extensively throughout the year and still have years of life left in them, and the same with my Tasman slippers, I know these sandals will last me for many years to come. And how they look and make me feel has made the price tag more than worth it.

UGG Goldenstar Sandals Review: Design
It's hard to fault how the UGG Goldenstar sandals look and feel - where they fall short is the same as any other suede footwear. Cleaning and water. Anyone who has owned a pair of UGG boots for time will know water marks and dirt are their worst enemy. These are no different. They are fair weather shoes by their very design, but you wouldn't want to get caught short in the rain in these.
Mine are plastered in suede protector, and I regularly clean them with a suede brush - so much so they are in amazing condition for a year on. The rubber platform sole has a strong grip and durability. I can honestly see these last for years with the care routine I have going with them.
UGG Goldenstar Sandals Review: Verdict
The price of these sandals is above and beyond what I would ever normally spend on summer footwear, but the minute I tried them on, I knew the amount of wear I got out of them would make them worth it. And I was right. The style and design is timeless, and their versatility means I can wear them for every day and dress them up for special occasions.
They aren't waterproof or the easiest to clean, but this is something I have come to expect as a long time UGG wearer, so have all the necessary kit to keep them in good condition. They were my buy of the summer last year, and I have yet to find anything to take that title since.
