Have you noticed how many kids' fashion accounts have swapped the classic ankle boot for the house slipper as everyday street footwear? The UGG Tasman Maxi Curly Slipper Chestnut (Toddler) is the mini version of that move: the Tasman clog you already know, but with a curly sheepskin upper and in the chestnut shade that has been the brand's star color for years.
The UGG Tasman Maxi Curly Slipper Chestnut (Toddler) is the kids' take on the Tasman slipper: laceless slip-on entry, UGGbraid trim across the instep and a 10 mm curly sheepskin vamp. Inside there's a UGGplush lining and outside a sugarcane-based EVA sole, so it works indoors and out.
What is the UGG Tasman Maxi Curly and how is it different from the regular Tasman?
The Tasman is one of UGG's historic silhouettes: a closure-free clog, low heel and that braid across the instep you can spot from across the street. The real difference is in the upper material.
Where the classic Tasman uses smooth suede, the Maxi Curly features 10 mm curly sheepskin on the vamp. In hand it's a different result: more volume, visible texture and a finish that catches the light instead of absorbing it like matte suede.
In chestnut that contrast stands out even more, because the curl creates lighter and darker areas within the same shade. It's not a flat brown: it's chestnut with depth.
Materials: what's inside these kids' UGG slippers
The spec sheet for the Tasman Maxi Curly line is specific and worth reading before you buy:
- Upper: 10 mm curly sheepskin in Chestnut, with stitching on the vamp.
- Braid: the UGGbraid, the signature braid running across the instep that defines the Tasman silhouette.
- Lining: UGGplush, a blend of 60% recycled wool and 40% TENCEL Lyocell, the same material the brand uses in its adult models.
- Sole: sugarcane-based EVA, light and flexible, designed to go from home to street without changing shoes.
That lining is key for a kid: wool regulates temperature instead of just keeping them warm, so they don't end up with sweaty feet in a heated living room. You can check the available sizes for this model at Next Step before you decide.
UGG Tasman Maxi Curly kids' sizing: do they run big or small?
This is where most people get it wrong. The consensus among European buyers is that the Tasman Maxi Curly fits snug, slightly small, so it's best to measure the foot and check it against the size chart instead of relying on your little one's usual size.
There's a second detail that comes up again and again in reviews of the adult version: on feet with a high instep, the opening feels tight on top. If your kid has wide feet or a pronounced instep, that's the spot to watch.
Also keep in mind that the wool lining compacts with wear over the first few weeks and the inside gets a bit roomier. Buying a much bigger size "so they last longer" usually backfires: since it's a closure-free model, the foot slides around and the heel slips out when walking.
How to style the UGG Tasman Maxi Curly Slipper Chestnut (Toddler)
Chestnut is the ultimate wildcard in a kid's winter wardrobe. It works with ecru, beige, heather gray and the whole earth-tone range, which is exactly the palette behind the neutral style that's blowing up on social media.
- Weekend look: ecru leggings or joggers, an oversized gray sweatshirt and white high socks peeking out above the heel.
- Cozy mode: camel corduroy pants, a chunky beige knit sweater and the curly slippers finishing it off in the same tone.
- Contrast: dark blue jeans and an olive green parka; chestnut breaks up the cool block without clashing.
A visual trick: high socks aren't just about looks, they help keep the foot secure inside a closure-free clog and prevent rubbing on the instep.
