Stuffing UGG boots with cardboard inserts

1. Stuff your boots

Stuff your boots and make sure it’s nice and firm, so they can dry in that position. You don’t want your UGGs to mold in a way that deforms the boot.


I’m using this cardboard insert that came with the UGGs when I bought them. You can use bubble wrap, newspaper—whatever you can find to stuff it so it’s nice and firm.

3. Apply the solution to the boot

Use a cloth to apply the solution of the boot in a single direction. I recommend avoiding cloths with color, as there is a possibility it can transfer to your boot.


Apply a thin and even layer, making sure not to overly saturate the boots. You may need to repeat this process, depending on how severe the stains are.

    Is there a way to reshape ughs that were wet and now dry and hard in the tip?

      I would imagine you could rewet them and stuff with a towel to reshape but they take some use before the hardness gets worked out. I have never done this just my guess.
