If you own the boots you NEED this...

Okay you may not need this particular set -- but if you own suede or sheepskin boots -- you at least need to own the brush that comes in this set. It is by far the most valuable tool out there when it comes to keeping your boots clean.



This is the set I bought and used so it's what I'm reviewing. I'm sure there are better kits available and possibly at a better value. I'm sure you are at least in part paying for the Ugg name.



At first I wasn't too impressed with this set -- largely because it didn't magically do what I expected it do to. Of course -- I've since come to learn that I didn't know how to use this set. Perhaps that is the single criticism this set deserves -- it does not come with in-depth instructions -- just the instructions on the bottles of solution -- so not the best source of information.



In January I bought a sand colored pair of Emu sheepskin boots. One night when it was raining I stepped out of my car and into a puddle in the gutter. One boot got soaked but I figured it would dry okay. I was wrong. The rainwater must have been greasy because it left dark brown stains all along the sole of my boot.



I tried everything to clean it and nothing worked. If anything I succeeded only in spreading the grease stains around. Soon the one boot looked drastically different from the other and I couldn't imagine wearing them in public anymore. That's when I ordered this cleaning kit -- but when I tried the cleaning solution -- it didn't seem to do anything.



Just as I was about to throw the boots away I started scouring the web for solutions. Eventually I found a site that detailed use of a nubuck brush -- like the one included in this set.



The brush has bristles on one side white chalk on the other. Along the sides of the brush are rubber teeth -- like a comb. Brushing the suede or sheepskin after it's been washed will restore the texture. But by far -- the white chalk is the best possible solution for grease stains. Rubbing the stains with the white chalk and then brushing it out works like a miracle. It took several applications to some stains -- but this brush saved my boots. I can't emphasize this enough -- my boots were so bad I was ready to throw them away -- but now they look new again.More detail ...

Great for those chilly fall mornings.

I was reluctant to purchase these unless I found them on sale but after trying them on and wearing them for a bit I woulda payed full-price for these boots. They are the perfect "walk-your-kids-to-school" boots especially now that fall is here. They are stylish without being too fussy and comfortable just like slippers and warm while still letting your feet breath. My only concern is keeping them still looking new as the knit material can attract dirt. I originally got them in a light pink and later got them in grey. I find myself wearing the grey more often as the neutral colour matches well.



I recommend ordering down if you're a half size (ie. 7.5 order a 7) or sticking with your regular size if you're a solid number (ie. 8 should order 8). The liner does flatten out a bit after wearing and the knit does stretch a bit as well but not enough to size down a complete size.More detail ...

Absolutely Amazing

I fell in love with my Uggs the moment I slipped them onto my feet for the very first time. They are wonderfully comfortable & very warm. No your feet won't sweat in warm weather I promise. Most comfortable fit shoe of my life. I wear them at least 6 days a week! **Be sure to order a size down from your normal shoe size. I'm normally a 6 but I bought a 5.** Wear these withOUT socks and they feel like heaven. Wearing them with socks is bulky & well they weren't meant for sock wearing. Cave in & buy them it'll be the best $139 you've ever spent!!! Stuck on what color to get? Black turns your feet black. The dark tan is hard to match things with. The sand is perfect for everything!! Put them under your pants or over.. they go perfect with any day's outfit or weather :)More detail ...

Like wearing slippers in public--but better!


I bought these shoes in a light pink in the summer and I haven't taken them off since. They are versitile comfortable warm and ideal for walking long distances and shopping.



Just before buying them I'd been wearing strappy sandles and heals for 10-14 hours/day. After showing up for a peddicure with scabs and scars all over my poor feet my nail lady told me to try some Uggs. So I did. My feet have healed they are well insulated and stay moisturized because of the thick lining.



The uggs are so comfortable infact that they have inspired me to walk to work--1.5miles each way. How many shoes can you say that about? There is no break-in period and they feel like you are wearing nice slippers in public.



I don't worry about walking on ice in them because there isn't a heel to twist an ankle on and there is plenty of traction. Better than docs for the bad weather actually because the soles don't freeze and they keep your feet PLENTY warm.



There are only three drawbacks: the suede--I didn't treat it quick enough and now the water marks show from walking in the snow; and the casualness of them. As soon as I find uggs in something that works with a suit I'm set for life! In the meantime I wear them to walk to work change shoes in my office and then switch back into them if I know I'm not going to meetings for a while. The third is the height while I like the shorter boot for under jeans it isn't something that would look OK with anything else and certainly looks goofy by itself.



These shoes are in my main closet with the rest of the shoes I will never part with--my docs and birks. They belong in that elite shoe category of classic comfortable and well made. I can't wait to get another pair.
