"I would like to buy warm slippers made of wool, but which slippers are best for me?"
We understand this question all too well. Texelana has years of experience in the field of wool slippers. We are happy to help you make the right choice. We explain the different slippers for you in a handy overview with the most important advantages.
Sheepskin slippers.
Special about these slippers is the special effect of sheepskin. For example, sheepskin slippers have a high insulation value. You can also wear the sheepskin slippers with bare feet. After tanning, a little wool fat (lanolin) remains in the wool, which means that the sheepskin also cares for your feet. Since sheep leather is more fragile than cow leather, the correct slipper size is very important. You can find more information about this in our blog article "The ultimate tip against cold feet" .
Sheepskin slippers with rubber sole ; these slippers are suitable for walking outside. For example, to take the mail out of the mailbox. Good to know; slippers with a rubber sole are less suitable for very wide feet. Due to the fixed sole, the slippers can spread less than slippers with a soft leather sole.
Sheepskin slippers with cow leather sole are soft and flexible. Intended for indoor use only. The sole is made of cowhide, as cowhide is more durable than sheepskin.
