How to Dry Completely Saturated UGG Boots

Your UGG boots can become saturated after you walk in heavy rain or slush.

UGG sheepskin and knitted wool boots are as fashionable as they are practical. They keep your feet and lower legs comfortable in cold and wet weather, while adding a touch of originality to practically any outfit. UGG boots are built to last, even if you wear them frequently in unpleasant weather. You can easily restore a soaked pair of UGG boots to near-new condition, but you do need to let them dry overnight or longer.

Things You'll Need

• Soft, dry cloths or paper towels
• Newspaper
• Suede brush
• Sheepskin protector spray

Instructions

1. Take off your boots. Stuff them with newspaper, from the inside of the toe up to the shaft of the boot.

2. Blot the surface of your boots dry with soft, clean cloths or paper towels. Remove as much water as possible.

3. Allow the boots to air-dry for 24 to 48 hours at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight or near a radiator, heating duct, oven or other source of heat.

4. Spray a sheepskin protector solution evenly onto the surface of your boots. This is especially important if you have not done so before, but it can also help renew a prior application. Spray until the boots are wet but not saturated, and allow them to dry again at room temperature for 24 hours.

5. Brush the surface of your suede UGG boots, in one direction only. Do not brush knit, printed, sequined or smooth leather UGG boots.

6. Remove the newspaper, and wear your UGG boots again as usual. Repeat the drying process any time they become saturated.

Tips & Warnings

• Never allow your UGG boots to dry in direct sunlight or extreme heat. They will dry out and shrink, and the finish will be damaged.
