So many people have now made the decision to purchase their first pair of the latest trend in foot wear. But once they have got them what do they need to do to ensure that they are kept looking as good as when they brought them.

One of the first things that any Ugg Boot wearing should remember if they want to keep them looking good is to not wear them on days when it is extremely wet or in snowfall. Although these boots are designed to keep a persons feet warm they have not been manufactured to be worn in the wet.

However, should your boots get dirty then all manufacturers advise that they be washed by hand using cold water only and a little white vinegar diluted on a cloth. Whatever you do, dont put them into a washing machine or hot water. Not only will this cause permanent damage to the sheepskin the chances of the boot actually coming out looking as good as when brought is zero. If there are any stubborn marks on your boots then rub these with a pencil eraser prior to washing them.

Also if you do have to wash them, you will need to allow them to dry naturally, that means keeping them away from direct heat (fire or radiator). The best way to ensure that not only do they dry correctly but they are also able to retain their shape is to stuff them with paper and then leave them in a warm room away from direct heat to dry naturally.

But if you dont have the time or inclination to spend cleaning your boots as suggested above, you could actually use a product that has specifically been designed for cleaning these boots by the manufacturers. However, I would suggest that you do not purchase an over counter product that has not bee recommended by the manufacturer. Many over the counter products although they are suitable for sheepskin have not actually been produced for specifically cleaning Ugg Boots.
