Why do we often recommend a larger size?
Sheepskin slippers are lined with a thick layer of natural wool. This means they fit differently from regular shoes.
It is important not to buy sheepskin products too small. There are several reasons for this:
- Optimal insulation. The naturally crimped wool fibres trap an insulating layer of air. This helps keep your feet comfortably warm when it is cold, while the wool helps regulate temperature in warmer conditions.
- Longer lifespan. Sheepskin leather is soft and flexible. If a slipper is too tight, extra tension and pressure points can develop in the leather, which may cause it to wear more quickly.
- Moisture-regulating comfort. Wool can absorb and release moisture. It needs sufficient space to maintain these natural properties.
- Greater comfort. Your toes have enough room to move, making the slippers more comfortable to wear.
Extra tips
✔ Measure both feet. If one foot is larger than the other, use the measurement of the larger foot.
✔ Ideally, measure your feet at the end of the day. Your feet may be slightly larger by then, reducing the chance of choosing a size that is too small.
✔ When measuring, wear the socks you would normally wear with your slippers, if applicable.
Our size recommendation is a guideline
A size recommendation is always a guideline and cannot guarantee the perfect fit. Fit may vary depending on the brand and model.
