Step 4: Use a damp cloth to wipe boots down.

There is no need to rinse the soapy mixture away since Castile soap is vegetable based. The Castile soap will actually help to condition the sheepskin and give it a nice sheen. Simply wipe the boot down gently with a soft cloth to remove any extra moisture.

Step 5: Allow the boots to air dry overnight.

Tip

Insert towels or pool noodles into your boots while drying to help them maintain an upright shape. This isn't necessary since they will take on the shapes of your legs during wear, but is a good way to help them maintain their shape during storage.
