Home Uggs
Stretched T-shirts and faded shorts in the company of worn slippers have long gone from the category of "correct" clothes for the house. If a woman respects herself and wants to look beautiful for the people closest to her, you need to keep an eye on your home wardrobe. It must have things with a twist, for example, homemade ugg boots.
Boots for home: materials, styles, decor
Lovers of soft flat boots have been criticized by fashion bloggers and stylists for more than a year: “unfashionable”, “disfigures legs”, “yesterday”. Be that as it may, ugg boots are ideal for home. Warm, cozy, soft and most importantly - unbanal! They will allow even the most strict business woman to drop her hairpins at home and turn into a cute plush bunny.
The most popular for the home are knitted ugg boots. Such boots with Scandinavian patterns (for example, with deer), with snowflakes, with lacing or pompoms look very nice.
Since such handmade slippers are very popular now, pay attention to knitting - knitted ugg boots are usually denser and keep their shape well. Crocheted boots are more airy and delicate, more like warm socks.
If the wind is walking on the floor in your house, you can pick up insulated boots. First, the top layer should be knitted from threads that contain as much wool as possible. Secondly, there must be a layer of insulation inside. Preferably, of course, natural materials.
Suede ugg boots are more practical. The material itself is stronger than knitted fabric, so these boots have a chance to survive more than one winter. Outwardly, they can hardly differ from the “street ones”, except that the sole is thinner, and the shaft is shortened. Suede ugg boots 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 most comfortable homemade uggs are sewn with fur outside. The only suitable option here is sheep wool. Such white boots will decorate well tanned slender legs at home.
Women's home boots are also sewn from velsoft - this is a fully synthetic material, soft, with a fairly 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 loses its presentable appearance after several cleanings. But such slippers are inexpensive, and the color range of velsoft products is simply huge.
The material from which the sole of home shoes is made is also very important. It can be quite slippery on laminate, linoleum or parquet, which means that boots should not pose a risk of injury.
Slippers are more stable, in which the sole is thick enough and made of rubber. When the sole completely repeats the material of the upper - i.e. this is a knitted fabric or suede, it is ideal if it has small dots or another embossed pattern on it, allowing the sole to “cling” to the floor.
Homemade ugg boots are richly decorated: it can be pom-poms, laces, appliqué. Models with hare ears that hang from the edge of the bootleg to the foot are very popular. Often these uggs are complemented by a fur "tail" on the heel.
Quilted uggs look stylish and expensive.Boots are also 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 characters "Winnie the Pooh" and Marvell comics. Ugg pandas look cute, white with black "eyes" on the socks and short ears on the tops.
Where could I buy
Home uggs can be found in the range of many brands. For example, cleo (ugg boots in delicate pastel shades from velsoft on a fleece lining), Vestidos (bright polyester boots) ALWERO (the brand produces clothes and shoes from 100% sheep wool), Burlesco (glamorous and bright textile ugg boots). It is best to look at those who specialize in the production of home shoes and clothing.
Slippers are very fond of in Russia Pettimelo. They are sewn at a factory in China and, according to customer reviews, the quality is quite decent. Synthetic materials are used (acrylic, velor), but all models are of original design. On the market, Pettimelo is positioned in the middle price category.
Slippers from a Russian manufacturer are also popular on the market. Ferento: textile, non-slip soles. Of course, he also has his own collection of slippers. De Fonseca - they are mostly textile and have a small platform.
If you want to purchase an exclusive model, homemade ugg boots can also be made to order. Craftswomen sew, knit, felt them from wool, taking into account the wishes of the customer. Also, very original shoes can be found in stores that sell goods in ethnic style and handicrafts.
Care of home shoes
The "enemies" of street shoes are dust, dirt and moisture, but this does not mean that indoor slippers get less. We spend much more time in home shoes than in street shoes: uggs are constantly subject to crushing, friction, twisting. In addition, very “difficult” stains can be caught on slippers at home - from oils, juices, berries and fruits, household chemicals and cosmetics. So, if you want your ugg boots to serve you as long as possible, learn how to properly care for them.
General principles of care (if there are no stains on the shoes) are usually described on the inner label of the product. Some factory uggs can be machine washed on a delicate cycle. If these are knitted ugg boots or boots made of velsoft, it is recommended to wash without spinning at a temperature of no more than 40 ° C. It is best to dry them naturally - i.e. not in the drum of the machine and not on the battery. It is best to stuff your ugg boots with newspaper so that they absorb water from the inside and keep their shape.
Knitted uggs can be washed by hand. If the composition contains natural wool, choose special detergents. It is enough to immerse the slippers in warm water, rub the contaminated places with your hands or with a foam rubber sponge and gently squeeze them out with your hands.
Delicate handling requires ugg boots made of suede and fur. This is where suede care sprays, which are sold in shoe stores, come in handy. Wash with water and even more so wash suede ugg boots!
To properly clean suede homemade uggs, a special brush is useful. On one side, it has hard bristles for cleaning stains. On the other - soft silicone bristles, which, as it were, "comb" the surface of the boot and raise the pile. Along the edges - a ribbed surface, which can be "walked" at the junction of the sole and the upper part of the shoe, where dust usually clogs.
Next, clean ugg boots should be treated with a spray that will create protection from water and dirt on the suede.
If the uggs are too small, you can try to stretch them. To do this, there are special sprays that need to be applied to shoes, and walk in them until the product dries. Of course, this method is only suitable for suede house boots.
Fur ugg boots also need only dry cleaning. You can try to remove dirt with starch - this way you can clean both light and dark fur slippers. For white specimens, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water is suitable (1 tablespoon of peroxide per liter of water). Fur uggs, especially dear to the heart, can also be sent to dry cleaning.
If greasy stains have formed on textile slippers, you can try to remove them with dishwashing liquid or laundry soap. You need to rub the product into the stain, leave for half an hour, and then wash the shoes in the usual way. If the greasy stain is completely fresh, ordinary salt will save - you need to generously sprinkle the damaged area with it and brush it off after 10-15 minutes.
"Difficult stains" are removed with special stain removers. Please note that only home-made uggs made of synthetic materials can be cleaned with these methods: knitted - from acrylic, polyester, sewn - from wellsoft, velor. For woolen items, you will need a delicate liquid product.
Uggs made of knitwear and other textile materials can be dyed using fabric dye. As a rule, it is diluted in water: boots need to be held in it for a certain time. Spray paints for fabric will come in handy for this creative work. They can not only paint homemade ugg boots, but also exclusively paint them.
Soft and cozy homemade ugg boots are a great alternative to banal slippers and woolen grandmother's socks. They will look great with home dresses, pajamas, knitted suits and shorts.With proper care, they will keep your feet warm for more than one season!
