With many of us planning to jet off this summer, the quest for the perfect travel outfit is well and truly on. One of the trickiest parts? Finding the right pair of shoes that won’t leave your feet aching mid-flight.
Trainers can often feel too snug, especially if your feet tend to swell at high altitudes, while sandals might not offer enough comfort or practicality for those long-haul journeys. But it seems Louise Thompson has found the solution, as she recently revealed her favourite footwear for flying; a pair of Goldencoast Clog Regenerate mules from UGG which she wore during a recent flight.

These slip-on shoes strike the perfect balance between cosy slippers and outdoor-appropriate footwear. Originally retailing at £160, these UGG clogs are currently on sale for £127.99, making it the ideal time to snap them up. They’re just as comfy as your beloved pair of slippers, thanks to their soft and fluffy lining made from microfibre and twinface sheepskin.
The closed-toe design of the Goldencoast Clog Regenerate makes them perfect for strolling around the plane in, with an adjustable ankle strap that can be flipped to transform them into a slip-on style or secured across the heel for a snug fit. Plus, they offer plenty of space for your feet to breathe, so you won’t have to worry about any uncomfortable rubbing or pinching.
The outers are crafted from soft sheepskin with a supple suede finish, featuring a thick sole for ample grip. At present, they’re only available in a light taupe colour – perfect for the summer vibe – and there are sizes six to 11 still up for grabs.
If you’re seeking other colours or require a smaller size, ASOS’ Seqwl Faux Fur Lined Sling Back Clogs could be just the ticket. In chic black faux suede with a cosy faux fur lining, they boast a look akin to Louise’s UGG originals and have been reduced to £19.80 from £22.
Or you might fancy popping over to Dune for its Goldy Faux Shearling Lined Backless Mules, retailing at £99. These feature genuine sheepskin and a plush shearling lining and come in both beige and tan. While they lack the heel strap found on Louise’s UGG mules, they compensate with undeniable style, reports the Mirror.
Still need convincing of how comfy the UGG Goldencoast Clog Regenerates truly are? Just glance at the rave reviews all awarding five-star ratings. One customer gushed: “Very nice design and extremely comfortable. I like these a lot!”
Another echoed the sentiment: “Feels like walking on air. One of my favourite pair of Uggs I have ever bought. Even bought a second pair for when I wear this pair out.”
A third chimed in: “Absolutely love love love these. Put them on as soon as arrived hardly had off since. We need more colours please. I’ve got pins and a plate in my foot and find it difficult to get comfortable shoes these definitely are worth the money. But would love to have other colours please.”
Whilst yet another praised: “I have a high instep and wide feet and struggle to find shoes that fit – these are amazing. Sooo incredibly comfy I wear them all the time my favourite all time pair of shoes would love them in the smoke colour. Please don’t stop making these!!!”
