Home Uggs
Stretched T-shirts and faded shorts in the company with worn slippers have long been out of the category of "correct" clothes for the house. If a woman respects herself and wants to look beautiful for the closest people, you need to follow your home wardrobe. It must have things with a twist, for example, homemade uggs.
Boots for home: materials, styles, decor
Fashion bloggers and stylists have been criticizing lovers of soft flat-soled shoes for years not: “unfashionable”, “disfigures feet”, “yesterday”. Anyway - for home uggs are perfect. Warm, cozy, soft and most importantly - not banal! They will allow even the most strict business woman at home to reset the studs turn into a cute plush hare.
The most popular for the house - knitted uggs. Such boots with Scandinavian patterns (for example, with deer), with snowflakes, with lacing or pom-poms look very nice.
Since such handmade slippers are very popular now, pay attention to the knitting - uggs, knitted with knitting needles, as a rule, are denser and keep their shape well. Crocheted, boots are more airy and delicate, more like warm socks.
If you have a wind on the floor at home, you can pick up insulated boots. First, the top layer must be knitted of threads that contain the maximum wool. Secondly, there must be a layer of insulation inside. Natural materials are preferable, of course.
Suede uggs are more practical. The material itself is stronger than a knitted fabric, so these boots have a chance to survive more than one winter. Outwardly, they can hardly differ from “street” ones, except that the sole is thinner, and the ankle is shortened. Suede uggs are often decorated with a slit on the outside or lapels. As a rule, the lining in them is made of sheepskin.
By the way, the fur does not have to be hidden inside! The coziest home uggs are sewn with fur outside. The only suitable option here is sheep wool. Such white boots will well decorate the house with tanned slender legs.
Women's home boots are also sewn from velsoft - this is a completely synthetic material, soft, with a rather high pile. This fabric drapes beautifully on the leg, and the ugg boots are very light. The only drawback of the material is its fragility, the pile is crushed, and the product, after several cleanings, loses its presentable appearance. But such slippers are inexpensive, and the color range of products from velsoft is huge.
The material from which the sole of slippers is made is also very important. On laminate, linoleum or parquet is quite slippery, which means that boots should not create the risk of injury.
Slippers are more resistant, in which the sole is thick enough and made of rubber. When the sole completely repeats the upper material - i.e. This is a knitted fabric or suede, ideally, if small dots or another relief pattern are applied on it, allowing the sole to “cling” to the floor.
Homemade uggs are decorated richly: it can be pompons, cords, applique. Models with hare ears that hang from the tops of the tops of the foot are very popular. Often these uggs are complemented by a fur “tail” on the heel.
Quilted uggs look stylish and expensive. Also boots are decorated with embroidery, rhinestones and beads.
Homemade ugg boots for children are often decorated with images of their favorite cartoons — for example, Hello Kitty, minions, Disney Winnie the Pooh characters, and Marvell comics. Uggs-pandas look cute, white with black "eyes" on the toes and short ears on the toe.

For example, Cleo (uggs of gentle pastel shades from velsoft on fleece lining), Vestidos (bright polyester boots) ALWERO (the brand produces clothing and footwear from 100% sheep wool), Burlesco (glamorous and vibrant textile uggs).

Care for homemade boots
"Enemies" of outdoor shoes - dust, dirt and moisture, but this does not mean that home slippers get less. In home shoes we spend much more time than in street shoes: ugg boots are constantly subject to crushing, rubbing, twisting. In addition, at home you can catch very "difficult" stains on slippers - from oil, juice, berries and fruits, household chemicals and cosmetics. So, if you want uggs to serve you as long as possible, learn how to properly care for them.
General principles of care (if there are no stains on shoes) are usually described on the product's internal label. Some factory uggs can be machine washed in delicate mode. If it is knitted ugg boots or velsoft boots, it is recommended to wash without spinning at a temperature not exceeding 40 ° C. It’s best to dry them naturally - i.e. not in the drum of the car and not on the battery. It is best to fill uggs with newspapers so that they absorb water from the inside and keep their shape.
Knitted uggs can be washed manually. If the composition has natural wool, choose a special detergent. It is enough to immerse the slippers in warm water, rub the polluted places with your hands or with a foam sponge and gently squeeze with your hands.
Uggs made of suede and fur require a delicate treatment. Here are useful sprays for the care of suede, which are sold in shoe stores. It is impossible to wash with water and especially to wash suede uggs!
To properly clean the suede home uggs, useful special brush. On one side it has tough bristles for cleaning stains. On the other hand, there are soft silicone bristles, which “brush” the surface of the boot and lift the pile. Along the edges is a ribbed surface, where you can “walk” at the junction of the sole and the upper part of the shoe, where dust is usually clogged.
Then clean the uggs should be treated with a spray that will protect against water and dirt on the suede.
If the ugg is too small, you can try to stretch them. To do this, there are special sprays that need to be applied to the shoes, and walk in them until the tool dries. Of course, this method is only suitable for suede home boots.
Fur ugg boots also need only dry cleaning. You can try to remove contamination with starch - so you can clean both light and dark fur slippers. For white specimens, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water (1 tbsp peroxide per liter of water) is suitable. Especially expensive heart fur boots can be sent to dry cleaning.
If there are greasy stains on the textile slippers, you can try to remove them using dishwashing liquid or laundry soap. It is necessary to rub the product in the stain, leave for half an hour, and then wash the shoes in the usual way. If the greasy stain is completely fresh, the usual salt will save - it should be generously sprinkled on the damaged area and brushed off after 10-15 minutes.
“Complex stains” are removed with special stain removers.Please note that these methods can be used to clean only homemade uggs made of synthetic materials: knitted - from acrylic, polyester, stitched - from wellsoft, velor. For woolen things need a delicate liquid tool.
You can dye knit uggs and other textile materials using fabric paint. As a rule, she gets divorced in water: boots need to be held in it for a certain time. In this creative case useful spray paint for fabrics. They can not just paint the home uggs, but also exclusively paint.
Soft and cozy homemade uggs are a great alternative to banal slippers and wool grandma's socks. They will look great with homemade dresses, pajamas, knit suits and shorts. With proper care, they will warm your feet for more than one season!
