Black is one of the most requested shades in the classic sheepskin boot line, and this page looks at the color itself: how the dye sits on twin-faced sheepskin, what it does to an outfit, and how to keep the suede looking the way it did in the box. Black is the shade buyers choose when the boot has to work as hard as a city shoe.

True black on sheepskin reads deep and matte: the suede drinks in light, so the boot looks almost velvety rather than shiny. Of all the classic colors it is the most formal, the one that can follow black tights and a wool coat into the evening without apology.
Style black boots the way you would black ankle boots. They ground skinny jeans and a black knit, sharpen grey tailoring, and disappear neatly under wide-leg trousers. Because the color matches most winter palettes, black is the pair commuters reach for on dark mornings.
Black has been a core color across the classic tall and short boots, the mini heights, slippers and even sandals with sheepskin trim. It is also the color most often chosen for the brand's weather-ready and leather-trimmed variations.
Black suede hides street dust better than any pale shade, but salt lines from winter pavements show up white against it - brush them off the same evening with a dry suede brush. A protector spray before the first outing keeps slush from spotting the nap.
A word about the photograph below: it has illustrated this color since October 2017 and stays here as a historical reference. Colors are subject to change, so for the current product offering in Black, check the official UGG website before you buy.
Strong sun can soften any dark suede over years, and black may take on a grey cast if stored in bright light. Keep the boots in their box or a cool cupboard between seasons and the color holds well.
They are among the easiest: everyday dust is nearly invisible on black. The main enemy is road salt, which leaves pale tide marks - those brush out of dry suede, and a suede eraser lifts stubborn spots.
Black boots pair naturally with black, charcoal, burgundy, deep green and winter white. They also rescue bright patterned leggings by anchoring the outfit at the ground.
