Removing Wax from UGG Boots

You’re eating at your favorite restaurant and an accident at the table causes the candle to fall and melted wax spills on your UGG boots. Perhaps you dripped wax from a candle in your home or maybe you spilled wax while making your own candles. Regardless of how it happened, you now have a nasty wax stain on your favorite boots and have to find a way to remove it!
Wax stains are different than the ones caused by dirt, oil, and water. Because the wax hardens on the surface of the boot it will adhere in a way that makes cleaning much more difficult.
There are two main ways to approach removing a wax stain. One is to use cold and the other is to use heat.
Let’s look at cold first. If you apply ice to your boot, or even put it in the freezer, the cold will cause the wax to finish hardening and eventually constrict. This should make it easier to carefully and gently scrape the hardened wax off of your boot. Make sure you wrap your boot in a plastic bag before putting it in the freezer (to protect both your boot and your food) or, if it will not fit, use ice packs to freeze the area in question.
If the freezing does not work you could try applying heat to the wax. The heat will, of course, melt the wax and may cause it to spread, so you must use extreme caution when using this technique. Heat a small area of wax and try to absorb it before moving on to the next section. Using heat to remove the wax will likely still leave a stain on the suede - but the wax itself will be gone.
Use care in attempting to remove the wax stain from your UGGs and you’ll be able to save them from total ruin!

Shoe Buying Rules

Even though UGG boots can be dressed up or down depending on the event you plan to wear them to, we’ve received several questions regarding whether or not UGG boots are appropriate business attire. This is an excellent question that we think needs to be addressed.
While UGG boots are incredibly fashionable, some employers are less than thrilled to see their employees showing up to work in something they deem to be casual. So here’s the rule of thumb. If you work in a “business professional” environment you probably shouldn’t wear your UGG boots to work. If you work in a “business casual” environment you might consider wearing them, but should gauge whether or not your level of “business casual” leans more towards the business or casual end of the spectrum.
In today’s economy more and more women are finding it difficult to add to their once growing shoe collections. If you find yourself in this situation make sure you purchase a pair of shoes that is versatile, especially if you need to dress them both up and down. Remember the following:
Buy shoes that are either black or beige and make sure they are closed toe. Shoes of these color tones work with skirts and pants and can be worn during any season.
Make sure your feet don’t show through holes or straps. Strappy shoes are cute, for sure - but the more your foot shows the less appropriate your shoes really are for a business environment.
Buy the best quality pair of shoes possible. It may cost you a bit more upfront to do so, but you’ll end up spending less because your shoes will last longer.
Ready to enhance your wardrobe with a new pair of shoes? Hopefully you can fit UGG boots into your business environment. If not, find a pair of shoes that will last you well into the next season in both style and color. You won’t regret a sensible choice!

UGG Boots are Destined to Fit!

Here’s a story we loved hearing! This woman has been searching for a pair of nice winter boots all season long, but couldn’t find anything that properly fit her foot or calf. That’s a common problem amongst boot wearers, especially those who work out or have larger calves.
These are really pretty women’s UGGs too - they have a cute paisley design you can only see if you lookat them closely. We’re glad to see this woman found both the UGG boots and sneakers she was looking for. Can’t find boots that fit? Try UGGs. They just might be the solution to your problem!
