UGG Tasman vs. Tasman II: What’s the Difference?

If you’ve been shopping for UGGs recently, you may have noticed two nearly identical styles: the UGG Tasman and the UGG Tasman II. At first glance, they look the same — the same cozy suede upper, plush lining, and signature embroidered collar that make them a favorite for lounging, errands, and everything in between. So what exactly sets them apart?

The truth is, the difference isn’t in the look or feel — it’s in what’s underneath. 

The biggest change in the Tasman II is its shift toward sustainability. While the original Tasman uses UGG’s traditional Treadlite by UGG outsole, the Tasman II is built with SugarSole, a lightweight foam made from renewable sugarcane. This eco-friendly update helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels without compromising comfort.

Inside, there’s a key material difference as well. The original Tasman is lined with UGGplush, a blend of sheepskin and recycled synthetic fibers. In contrast, the Tasman II uses only sheepskin for its lining — no synthetics involved. This not only gives it a more natural feel but also makes it a better option for those prioritizing eco-conscious materials.

So while the feel and look of both styles are nearly the same, the Tasman II is the more updated, eco-conscious version. If you’re buying a new pair, the Tasman II is UGG’s way of keeping the comfort you love while making smarter choices for the future.
