How to Maintain Your Ugg Boots
Stephanie Larkin asked:
Every Ugg boot or footwear item is manufactured to meet the highest possible standards. Ugg boot quality is a result of a long history of dedication, workmanship and attention to details. Therefore, any upkeep for the attractiveness and life of Ugg Shoes-Australia boots is well worth it. Fortunately, retaining the new look of Ugg-Australian boots is not complicated or even difficult. With a little easy care, they will continue to offer the comfort, durability, and luxury for which Ugg footwear is known.
First, it’s important to decide when and where to wear Ugg-Australian boots. Even though they are most often relied upon in winter months to insulate feet against the cold (they’re assured for up to 30 degrees below zero), they are not meant to be snow shoes. Furthermore, although they are also worn by surfers to keep their feet warm between catching waves, they should not be used for wading through those waves. In fact, Ugg boots should not be worn be in any other wet conditions, including mud, rain, ice or slush. To prevent unexpected weather from damaging Ugg footwear, it’s wise to apply water repellent thoroughly as often as instructed. Doing so will seal the sheepskin from dirt and discoloration as well. The best product for this is Ugg Australia Sheepskin Water and Stain Repellent. Unfortunately, discolorations from, or caused by, another protective product may void Ugg Shoes-Australia’s one year warranty.
The first maintenance step is to brush the Uggs with a wire, suede or nubuck brush-in one direction only. If done regularly, this will prevent any dirt or dust from settling among the suede fibers and reduce the potential damage from embedded debris. However, sooner or later, Uggs need to be cleaned in either certain areas or overall. A quality stain eraser can be used to reduce any stains prior to cleaning.
Even though Uggs should not be worn through wet conditions, a little water can be used to cleanse them. However, Ugg-Australia boots should never be put into a washing machine, or cleaned with hot water, since both can cause permanent damage. To clean Ugg-Australian boots by hand, first dampen the boot or specific boot area with a soft sponge, brush, or cloth. Then, dip that same applicator into a small amount of diluted cleaner and rub gently. (Do not drip it directly from the bottle onto the boot.) Remember that any roughness or abrasion may harm the boot surface. The best product to use for the actual cleaning is Ugg Australia Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner, which contains natural jojoba and coconut oils. This is known to be safe when used on Uggs. Otherwise, the owner takes a chance with cleaners that may be good for wool or suede, but not necessarily beneficial for sheepskin. If this process does not remove a particular mark, it may be caused by high oil content in the stain. Such stains may be lessened by the application of white chalk or a fine powder and then rubbed again.
Rinse the cleaner off with a little clean water. If the entire boot has been treated, any excess wetness may be squeezed out. Ugg boots should never be stretched to remove water. To retain their proper shape while drying, Ugg Shoes-Australia footwear should be stuffed with paper towels or newspaper. They should then be allowed to air-dry naturally in a warm area, but not in the path of direct heating or sunlight. After they are completely dry, the Uggs (or the places that have been cleaned) should be re-brushed, again in just one direction. Shaking a little baking soda or shoe deodorizer into the boots will eliminate past foot odor and prevent against future smells. The size of the Ugg boot may appear to shrink slightly after drying, but will regain its original fit after being worn a few times.
It’s also worthwhile to remember that, with darker colored Uggs, some dye may lift off during the first few wearings and washings. This is just excess coloring and does not mean that the boots will continue to fade or lose all color. (Plus, like all natural fabrics, it’s normal for sheepskin to contain irregularities in color and variations in textures, and does not indicate defects in manufacturing.) Finally, storing Uggs in a dry place between wearings will allow them to air out so that they are fresh for the next wearing.
By following these tips, Ugg Shoes-Australia boot owners can rely on outstanding comfort, luxury and dependability for the life of the boots, which will probably be a very long time!

Why are Ugg Boots Becoming so Popular?
Peter Clark asked:
Ugg boots are fast becoming one of the fashion trends of the decade. More and more people wordwide are discovering this simple but effective Australian footwear icon.
What are Ugg boots? Uggs are boots made from pure sheepskin. The outer covering of the boot is the outside of the sheepskin, and the warm woollen part of the skin faces in. This makes for a boot that is extremely warm and is a delight to wear, especially in cold weather like winter. Uggs are also now being made with a second and outer skin of leather that adds to the strength and the durability of the boot.
The Ugg is usually a high fitting boot, mostly coming up above the ankle, and usually much higher. Most Ugg boots are high enough to come up not far below the knee, keeping the entire lower leg warm.
It is also possible to buy sheepskin slippers, these also usually come up just above the ankle, and are also extremely warm, though not technically called Uggs.
Traditionally Ugg boots are worn outside the trousers. And for this reason Uggs are becoming part of the fashion culture. They normally come in the regular sheepskin color, which is an off white or pale color, but dyed versions are also becoming extremely popular. It is now the norm to find Ugg boots in the stores and online which feature a wide range of colors including bright reds and greens or pinks, and all sorts of other bright colors. In the past you had little choice for your Uggs but they are now available in a wide range of colors and styles.
The Ugg boot was a quintessentially Australian product. Australia was said to ride on the sheeps back some decades ago when there were millions more sheep in the country than people, and sheepskin products were extremely common. Sheepskin is an extremely hard wearing and versatile product, and lends itself to production into jackets, boots, seat covers and much more.
Ugg boots were no exception and have been available in Australia for decades, but more recently have become available worldwide. This has resulted in the Ugg becoming a fashion accessory right throughout the world.
The Ugg boot is not a hard wearing boot like a leather boot though, and you need to take a little care with you Uggs. They are a soft boot but made with a hard plastic sole, with the sheepskin sewn onto the sole. The sole is generally hard wearing but the sheepskin sides can be prone to getting dirty very easily, though they can be easily washed.
But as any Ugg devotee will tell you, a good pair of Uggs will be the most comfortable footwear you will ever have on your feet.
Treat yourself to a pair of Ugg boots. They look good, they feel good and they’re a taste of Australia.

5 Wow-’em Ways to Wear Your Uggs
Gen Wright asked:
ook fabulous head to toe? Ahem, we prefer “toe to head.” Because when you’re wearing any of our Authentic UGG Boots, your feet will be the first thing everyone notices.
Pulling your UGGs over a pair of sweatpants is a definite upgrade to the sneakers and sweatpants combo, but don’t let yourself fall into a fashion rut. To really allow your UGGs shine to their full potential, be creative and mix things up a bit. Let the bold look of Authentic UGG boots inspire you to develop your own personal sense of style.
Having trouble coming up with ideas? We’ve got you covered. Read on for five concepts to get you started on your UGGs fashion adventures!
1) A Classic, Revisited.
Pairing UGGs with leggings has become a UGGs classic because it’s flattering on many different body types and sizes. The contrast between the clunky aesthetics of UGGs and the slim fit of leggings really brings emphasis to the legs and makes them pop. But this season, update this classic looks by opting for a slim pant or skinny jean instead of the leggings.
Right now, higher waistlines?a flattering fit for most figures– are all the rage. A higher-waisted, slim-fitting jean or pant paired with a tall pair of Authentic UGG boots will not only elongate your body and create an overall slimming effect, but will also lend your outfit a chic, equestrian flair.
Throw on a modern blazer or jacket to really complete the look. With this type of ensemble, try our Classic Tall UGG Boots, Eskimo Boots or Long Boots. Or to add some interesting detailing, consider our Outdoor Lace-Up UGG Boots or our fashion-forward Roxy UGG Boots. (links would be given to all products)
2) Playing with Color
Authentic UGG Boots traditionally follow a neutral color palette, but don’t be afraid to make a statement by choosing a fun pair of colored UGGs. In addition to the tried-and-true Sand, Chestnut, Black and Chocolate, most of our Women’s boots are also offered in Pink. Dare to be stylish, and add some color to your UGGs!
If you prefer a neutral-colored pair of UGGs but still want to make a bold color statement, pair your UGGs with a colored jean or pant. A tailored red pant, for example, looks great against the neutral tones of our Authentic UGG boots and is sure to attract attention.
3) Sophisticated Shorty
This season, shorter boots are back with a vengeance, making our Classic Short UGG Boots and our Ultra Short UGG Boots (links to products) two obvious must-haves.
The daintier fit of shorter boot styles will be especially flattering with clothes that have a slightly more formal or feminine fit. For example, a high-waisted pencil skirt that hits slightly above the knee paired with a silky, modern fitted blouse and a pair of Ultra Short or Classic Short UGG Boots creates a chic and glamorous silhouette that will function well in more elegant settings.
You might also consider a wide-legged, woolen trouser worn over one of our shorter style UGG boots, topped with a fitted sweater. Depending on your line of work, these looks might even work for the office, perfect for a casual Friday. Who knew looking elegant could feel so comfortable?
4) Dressing it Up
A pair of UGG boots can add vibrancy and flair to a number of different dress styles. A textured dress, such as a knit, crocheted, or woolen dress, is a great match for our sheepskin UGGs. Try belting the dress to balance your accessories; this season, opt for a mid-sized belt rather than the ultra-thick or ultra-skinny styles. Leggings or tights will add the finishing touch?and keep your legs as cozy as your toes!
Don’t be afraid to play with textures, either. A smooth dress or tunic dress paired with any of our UGG boots will give off a cool, bohemian vibe. Put-together posh or boho chic, long or short, classic or lace-up, dresses + UGGs are a practical but unexpected fashion Do.
5) Let it Snow!
Winter weather got you down? Then slip into a pair of our super-trendy Snow Joggers (link) for a winter look that will perk up any depressed fashionista. Because Snow Joggers are a bold shoe, go bold with your outfit. Whether you’re heading outside or just heading “out,” create a funky, urban look when you pull our Snow Joggers over a snug or tailored athletic style pant. A puffy jacket, your favorite hat, glove and scarf set, and a chunky pair of earrings will complete the ensemble. Because who cares about winter chills when you can look this hot?
So there you have it, a couple of different tips and ideas to get you started on your road to fashion fabulousness. When getting dressed, some people start with the clothes, others with the jewelry, still others with the bag or even the hairstyle. But here at Authentic UGG Boots, we know it’s all about the shoes. Be creative, get inspired, and see where your Authentic UGG Boots can take you!
