Gorgeous handmade wool felt slip-ons by Baabuk. Baabuk make their felted wool slippers the traditional way: by hand using only 100% New Zealand wool, soap, and water to give them a light, cozy feel that makes anywhere you wear them feel like home. The more you wear them the more they mold to your feet to give you an individual fit that’s as personal as their time-honoured manufacturing process, signified by the red knots on the label that are hand-stitched by expert artisans in Nepal.

The insoles, made from wool felt for added durability, are also padded for extra comfort and removable for convenience. Wool’s natural moisture-wicking and anti-microbial qualities reduce sweat and odour and keep your feet feeling fresh wear after wear. Insoles can be replaced in time.

Harvested from rubber trees, the latex in the soles and the glue that holds them on is a renewable material known for its pliability, resilience, and grip. The soles are hand-sewn along the edge of the slippers to withstand wear and tear and avoid uncomfortable seams for maximum longevity and comfort.

Care: Do not use washing machine or detergents. Washing machines, aggressive soaps, and chemicals/alcohols may cause the natural soles to melt. Clean the surface with humid cloth to remove dirt.

Fit advice: True to size. See size chart pictured.

How to choose the correct size: Please measure your feet at the end of the day as feet swell most during the day.

Measure from heel to toe
Place your foot on a flat surface, leaning your heel against a wall. Next to your foot, place a ruler so that the ruler touches the wall as well. Now you can easily read the length of your foot at the tip of your toe. Look for your shoe size based on the previously measured length in the Baabuk size chart pictured. If your foot is between two sizes, we recommend the larger size.
