The following instructions on how to wash ugg boots are a great idea not only to remove water stains but also to prolong the life and make your boots last.

1. Brush your ugg boots with a stiff brush to remove surface grime and dirt. If you don’t do this you will only end up washing the dirt and grime into the leather

How to repair rips and tears in your ugg boots?

Professional ugg boot repairs are typcially not worthwhile

A few years ago we offered a service to repair rips and tears in ugg boots. We also offered a service to replace the sole on ugg boots. The average cost of these repairs was close to £30 because our staff needed to spend considerable time replacing soles on worn out ugg boots or carefully unstitching seams and replacing weak and worn out leather. Since this price is over half the cost of a new pair of our ugg boots we no longer provide a professional repair service. If you have a hole in the toe of your ugg boots it is typically caused by buying boots which are too small or letting your nails grow too long. If you have a rip in your ugg boots we will provide you with a discount code providing you send pictures of the damage.
