UGG boots maintenance: how to prepare your shoes before wearing them?

It all starts with the preparation stage, to be followed carefully before even wearing your new pair of UGG boots in broad daylight. For this, you will need a waterproofing agent suitable for suede. You will spray it on all of your shoes (outdoors), and let them sit overnight.

By completing this step, you create a protective barrier on the fabric of your winter boots, which will make it more difficult for rain stains to appear on UGGs, or any other signs of wear. To maintain the shape of your boots, don't hesitate to stuff them with newspaper (or a tote bag) when you don't have them on your feet.

To give your shoes a facelift, nothing could be simpler. You will dampen a clean dishcloth or sponge and add a very small amount of soap. You will then perform delicate circular movements. To dry the boots faster, stuff them with newspaper and let them rest in a room away from direct sunlight or a heat source.
