Our Silkies' slippers the same way. They get muddy playing in water but somehow are clean and fluffy later. Still we watch to make sure they're walking ok.Aw! Gotcha! I love the feathered feet, and I don’t have any issues with muddy feet, even Henny’s feet stay lovely white and dry. They will get wet and muddy outside but when she comes in they dry fast and stay clean.
