Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the Felted Wool FAQ page. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our natural wool footwear to help you find the information you need quickly and easily.
About the Product
What are Felted Wool shoes?
Our products, Felted Wool shoes, are a type of footwear originally designed in Denmark. They are crafted from 100% premium wool that is felted—a process of matting, condensing, and pressing the fibers—to create a dense, durable, and incredibly soft material. The result is a simple, seamless slipper that molds to the shape of your foot.
Why wool? What are the benefits?
Wool is a remarkable, natural fiber with several unique properties:
- Thermoregulating: Wool helps maintain a comfortable foot temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
- Moisture-Wicking: It naturally absorbs and releases moisture vapor, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
- Odor-Resistant: Wool’s natural structure inhibits the growth of bacteria, meaning your shoes stay fresher for longer without needing frequent washing.
- Breathable: The fibers allow air to circulate, preventing your feet from feeling sweaty or clammy.
Are Felted Wool shoes true to size?
Felted Wool shoes are designed to fit snugly at first. The 100% wool fibers will naturally conform and stretch slightly to the unique shape of your feet over the first few weeks of wear, creating a custom fit. We recommend following the sizing guide on each product page on feltedwoolshop.com. If you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit with thick socks, you may wish to size up.
Do they have soles? Can I wear them outside?
We offer different styles to suit your needs. Many of our styles feature a durable rubber or gum sole. These soles provide excellent traction and protection, making them suitable for wearing both indoors and outdoors—perfect for stepping onto the patio, grabbing the mail, or a quick trip to the yard. We also offer styles with a leather sole or a full-wool sole, which are designed primarily for indoor comfort.
How do I clean and care for my Felted Wool shoes?
Caring for your wool footwear is simple. Because wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning, airing them out is often enough. If they need a deeper clean, we recommend gentle hand-washing with lukewarm water and a mild wool-specific detergent. Gently squeeze (do not twist or wring) to remove water, then reshape them and let them air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Please never put your Felted Wool shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as this can cause shrinkage and damage.
