How to Keep Your Uggs in Good Shape

After you’ve spent hundreds of dollars buying Uggs, you might as well take care of them. Doing so will ensure that you can use them for their maximum life. These tips can be used for any type of suede or sheepskin boots not just the Ugg brand. Keep reading, and make sure to write down these very important tips.

So you’ve invested in a pair of boots that cost $200 and you’re a little hesitant to wear them for the first time. Who wouldn’t be? Here are some steps to follow if you want your Uggs in mint condition. The best tip is to avoid getting water on them as the sheepskin is not waterproof, just water resistant.

1. Spray them with water and stain repellent. This way if water does get on them, it will roll away and won’t soak into the boot. Make sure to spray them again every couple of weeks, or when water gets on them.

2.Let them dry for a couple of hours before wearing to ensure the repellent gets into the boot.

3. Brush the suede/sheepskin with a soft brush to brush out any marks. I use a toothbrush and only brush way.

4. When not in use, I stuff the inside with newspapers. The newspaper absorbs the smell, and also helps keep the shape of the boots.

5. If the insoles of your Uggs start smelling, try sprinkling baking soda or baby powder. This will neutralize the smell. If that doesn’t work you can wash or replace the insoles.

6. If a stain gets on them, wet the boots and apply one part conditioner and one part water(mixed). Rub in then dry off.

Following these tips will keep your Uggs looking like new! They will show some wear and tear after using, but that happens with any type of shoes.
