Setup and Sizing
Upon initial wear, the Acorn Sheepskin Moxie Boot-W may feel snug. This is typical for genuine sheepskin footwear, as the lining will compress and the leather exterior will stretch and conform to the shape of your foot over time, resulting in a personalized and comfortable fit. For optimal fit, it is generally recommended to order your usual size, allowing for the natural stretching process.

Operating Instructions
The Acorn Sheepskin Moxie Boot-W offers flexible wearing options:
- Cuff Up: For maximum warmth and a boot-like appearance, wear the boot with the sheepskin cuff extended upwards, covering the ankle.
- Cuff Folded Down: For a more traditional slipper look and to expose the plush sheepskin lining, fold the cuff down.
The rawhide laces are primarily a design element, contributing to the rustic aesthetic. They can be adjusted to achieve a snugger fit around the foot opening if desired.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Acorn Sheepskin Moxie Boot-W.
Cleaning
- Exterior (Suede): Gently brush off any loose dirt or dust using a soft suede brush. For spot cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the suede nap.
- Interior (Sheepskin): The sheepskin lining can be gently spot cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild wool-specific detergent. Allow to air dry completely.
- General: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying
Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
Protection
To protect the suede exterior from water and stains, consider applying a water and stain repellent specifically formulated for suede and sheepskin footwear. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not alter the color or texture of the material.
Troubleshooting
- Snug Fit: If the boots feel tight initially, allow for a break-in period. The natural sheepskin and leather materials are designed to stretch and mold to your feet with wear. If the fit remains uncomfortably tight after several wears, verify that the correct size was selected based on the provided size guide.
- Lack of Arch Support: The Acorn Sheepskin Moxie Boot-W is primarily designed for comfort and warmth. It may not offer significant built-in arch support. The insole is not designed to be removable. For individuals requiring additional arch support, consult with a foot care professional for suitable insert options that can be placed on top of the existing footbed, provided there is adequate space.
