Product Information
Full details
The UGG Tasman Guard GTX is designed for the modern adult who requires a versatile slip-on capable of handling both indoor comfort and rugged outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit is the integration of a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and a specialized Vibram outsole, providing extreme weather resistance in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. While it excels in performance, users should note that the rugged construction makes it heavier than traditional house slippers, shifting its profile closer to a performance winter boot.

FAQs
Can I wear these as regular indoor slippers?
Yes, but they are significantly warmer and heavier than standard slippers. They are best suited for cold environments or quick transitions between indoors and outdoors.
Are they truly waterproof?
Yes, the integration of a GORE-TEX membrane provides a waterproof barrier against rain, slush, and snow.
What is the lowest temperature they can handle?
They are rated for comfort in temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the GORE-TEX membrane and the structural integrity of the materials. Spot clean only.
Do these run true to size?
The Tasman Guard GTX generally fits true to size for adults, but the thick wool lining may feel snug initially. It is recommended to wear standard socks to gauge the fit.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the slipper
This is likely sweat accumulation due to the warm insulation. Remove the slippers when indoors to allow the GORE-TEX membrane to breathe and the interior to dry.
Reduced traction on ice
Check the Vibram outsole for lodged rocks or compacted mud. Clean the tread pattern thoroughly to restore the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the slippers are ready to wear immediately. To maintain the waterproof efficacy of the GORE-TEX membrane, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the exterior rubber mudguard with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior UGGplush lining should be aired out regularly to allow moisture to evaporate, preventing odor buildup. For the leather or synthetic upper, use a soft brush to remove dirt before it becomes embedded in the material. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproofing bonds.
