Causes

The most common cause for bald spots on boots is friction. For example, if your boots are left in a closet, where they are in danger of rubbing up against other objects, the friction between them could cause fur to rub off of the boot altogether. Other causes for bald spots include water damage and dog attacks.
Replacement Fur
-
When selecting a fur to cover your boot's bald spot, make sure the fur is the same type and color as your boot fur. The closer your replacement fur is to the boot fur, the less noticeable your covered bald spot will be. Contact your boot manufacturer to collect as much information about the boot fur as possible.
