A comfortable pair of sneakers is an absolute must-have for any guy, with a durable boot and a classic pair of dress shoes also in the conversation. But house slippers are equally as important. They’re worn at the start of every morning, so why shouldn’t they be high quality? Recently, the most popular Ugg slipper for men got a rare discount at Zappos—and sizes are already dwindling.
Right now, the Ugg Ascot slipper in Wild Grape is on sale for $84, a rare 30% off the original price of $120. The Ascot is, by far, the brand’s most popular men’s slipper style, owning the No. 1 (leather) and No. 2 (suede) bestselling ranks at Zappos with nearly 4,000 five-star ratings. These slippers seldom see discounts. And while the majority of colors are still full price, the Wild Grape color is at its lowest price in the last month.

This Ugg Ascot slipper is the epitome of cozy. Featuring an all-suede upper, this slipper packs in a 17mm-thick lining of the brand’s famous wool that’s now made with mostly recycled material in a way that doesn’t sacrifice Ugg’s hallmark plush feeling. Underneath, you’ll find a full rubber sole that allows you to go beyond the boundaries of your home and wear them while doing errands, shopping at the farmer’s market, and otherwise. Another thing Ugg started doing was treating these slippers with a water-repellent coating—one of the most asked-for features—to help increase the life of the shoe against the wetness of winter.
Slippers are one of the most popular gifts for men for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, birthdays—you name it. And, although trends last year called the Ugg Tasman Slipper the one to get, the Ascot typically sells out first in stores. Why? As far as slippers go, it’s the complete package, offering a classic look men gravitate toward with the added durability of the rubber sole that sets it apart from most other slippers.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that shoppers love the Ugg Ascot, whether it was received as a gift or purchased as a gift for themselves. “Love my new house shoe slippers,” one customer said. “These are great! Slip them on and it's the classic feel of walking on a cloud. Super comfortable and lightweight… Like all other UGG products, they breathe and don't leave my feet feeling funky.”
Shoppers also appreciate the versatility of these slippers because of the outdoor-friendly sole. “Super comfortable, very well made and you can wear them outside with durable soles,” as one shopper noted. Another agreed, saying they’re “durable enough to be used in outdoor weather conditions short term without having to put on a regular pair of shoes.” We can only assume they look forward to grabbing the morning paper at the end of their driveway.
For just $84, these cozy Ugg Ascot slippers could become your next favorite shoe at a sizable discount. But when classic Ugg styles go on sale, they get scooped up in a frenzy. So if you’re looking for a hardy house slipper with traction that’ll last and last, pull the trigger quickly before sizes slip away.
