Question from Stacey
Hi Debra,
I purchased a pair of moccasins thinking they would be safer since they are made of suede, sheepskin, EVA/Poron cushioning, but I see they are also “water-resistant.” I contacted UGG Australia and a rep informed me that the shoes are treated with a protectant or coating to make them water-resistant. Would you return these, or is the coating harmless in a shoe?
Thank you!
Debra’s Answer
Actually water-resistant coatings can be pretty toxic. It’s better to get shoes that don’t have them.
I personally would return these shoes and look for others without the coating.
