Anyone who quickly gets cold feet knows the feeling: you're sitting on the sofa in the evening, with a blanket and a warm cup of tea... and yet your toes remain ice cold. It seems as if nothing helps except a warm bath, but you can't lie in that all day. Fortunately, there is sheep's wool! But what about sheep's wool slippers? Are they really the warmest slippers you can wear, or is that just a myth?
Why wool keeps you so warm
Sheep's wool is a special material by nature. The fibres are thick and crimped, creating small air pockets that trap heat. At the same time, wool breathes, so your feet don't sweat or overheat. And that's exactly why sheep's wool slippers are so popular: they're warm, yet breathable.
Our Texel slippers are made from wool from Texel sheep. This breed is known for its sturdy, thick wool. Thanks to the salty Texel climate, the wool has a unique structure that insulates even better. Ideal for cold days and evenings.
Texel slippers – warm and comfortable
The slippers are designed in a classic Texel style: high above the ankles, so that not only your feet but also your ankles stay warm. They are available for ladies and gentlemen in sizes 36 to 44, and they fit like your shoe size. So you don't have to guess with a size larger or smaller.
The suede sole provides a little extra support without making the slippers too hard. Perfect for sitting on the sofa or walking around the house.
Warm slippers for women and men
Whether you're looking for women's wool slippers, men's wool slippers or just a unisex model, Texel slippers always fit. They are available in four colours – grey, black, beige and white – so there's something for everyone.
And another advantage: wool moulds itself to your feet. The more you wear the slippers, the more comfortable they become.
Are they really the warmest slippers?
If you ask me: yes. Sheep's wool slippers are warmer than synthetic slippers, precisely because wool insulates without sealing. Other types of slippers – made of fleece, polyester or imitation fur – may feel just as soft, but they don't breathe and often get stuffy. That doesn't happen with wool.
Combine with woollen socks and a woolen plaid
Slippers are fantastic for cold feet, but did you know that wool works even better when you combine it with other materials? A pair of Texel woollen socks underneath provides an extra layer of warmth and is ideal for people who quickly get cold toes. And a woolen plaid completes the picture: feet warm, legs under the blanket and your evening is complete.
Wool slippers with soft suede sole
The slippers have a soft suede sole. This provides a little extra support while remaining comfortable for indoor use. Please note that the slippers are not intended for outdoor wear.
Can you wash sheep's wool slippers?
A frequently asked question: can you wash wool slippers?
The answer is simple: no. Because our slippers have a suede sole, it becomes hard and uncomfortable after washing. The best way to keep them fresh is to air them out occasionally. Have they become a little dirty? Then you can gently wipe the wool with a slightly damp cloth. This will keep them clean and soft, without the sole losing its flexibility.
Conclusion: the warmest slippers are made of wool
So, are sheep's wool slippers really the warmest slippers? Yes, absolutely. Thanks to their natural warmth, breathability and cosy high design, Texel slippers keep your feet warm without making them sweat. And with a pair of wool socks and a woolen plaid, you're all set.
Cold feet? Not in your house anymore.
See you soon!
