UGG and sneakers: it’s a combination that takes some getting used to, but the women’s Lowmel in “Rocky Oak” (stylecode 1144032-RYK) shows that the brand can do more than its iconic boots. A low-top sneaker in warm brown tones, with the sturdy, comfortable look UGG is known for.
Most people know UGG for one thing, and that’s a shame, because the brand’s sneaker line has grown significantly in recent years. The Lowmel is one of its standout models: a hiking-inspired silhouette with a chunky sole, reworked into something you can wear around the city.
Rocky Oak: brown the way brown should be
The color name says it all. Rocky Oak is an earthy, woodsy shade that perfectly matches the character of the shoe. While many sneakers stick to white, black or gray, this one brings some warmth. That makes it a natural match for everything you already wear in the colder months: wool coats, beige and brown tones, denim. A brown sneaker might sound bold, but in practice, it’s surprisingly easy to style.

Would I wear it myself?
Yes, especially in fall. This is the perfect shoe for crisp days: sturdy, with a chunky sole that invites long walks, and a look that sits somewhere between a sneaker and an outdoor shoe. With wide-leg jeans or a skirt and thick socks, it fits perfectly into the comfortable, layered silhouettes you see everywhere in autumn. I’d choose something else for sleek summer outfits, but this shoe clearly wasn’t designed for those either.
Good to know
The Lowmel is a women’s model, so be sure to use women’s sizing when ordering. The dark color is also easy to maintain: mud and rain splashes are far less noticeable on Rocky Oak than on a light-colored shoe, making it especially suitable for everyday wear in the Dutch climate.
UGG sneakers are showing up at more and more retailers, and prices can vary significantly by seller and size. It’s therefore worth comparing prices before you order.
