Thirdly, if you find you have a grease stain on your sheepskin footwear, try rubbing some white chalk over the stain and leaving it for a few minutes. Then, using the bottom of your hand or your thumb, gently rub the stain. Repeat this a few times until the stain has disappeared. You have to be exceptionally careful with sandpaper as it may take some of the dye away in the process. You can usually eliminate this by folding the footwear onto itself, that is skin against skin, and gently rubbing it together.
Sheepskin is quite resistant to getting totally wet.
You can get caught in a shower with your sheepskin boots, and on the outside they will appear considerably wet but on the inside you are warm and cosy. This is because not only does the rain have to soak through quite thick skin, but also penetrate the 5mm plus wool on the inside. Sheepskin is one of those unusual materials of which there is no equivalent. Most people know that leather shoes stretch. Well with sheepskin shoes, this happens even more so.
