bootie problems

["John & Sue Greenall" <greenall@vermontel.net>]

I have been using wool skin booties from Orthoflex for two seasons. 
 Recently, I had a bootie "explode" in the wash.  It came out 
looking like a dog had chewed a big hole in it.  I found another 
person in my area that had the same thing happen.  Has anyone 
else?  These booties are the kind made of a sheep hide.  I oiled 
mine regularly, used a thin pad under it for training, washed it about 
ten times and only used it for one season.  Orthoflex informed me 
that these booties should not be washed!  However, they do not 
include any care instructions with them.
