Your Guide to Sheepskin Slippers

There is nothing quite like slipping your feet into a warm, cosy pair of sheepskin slippers. Soft, comfortable and naturally insulating, genuine sheepskin helps keep your feet warm without making them feel overly hot.

At Sheepskin Warehouse, we offer a beautiful range of sheepskin slippers designed for everyday comfort, including New Zealand made styles for women, men and children.

Why Choose Genuine Sheepskin Slippers?

Sheepskin is a natural material with qualities that make it especially well suited to footwear. Each pair surrounds your feet with soft wool, creating a comfortable and cushioned feeling from the moment you put them on.

Unlike many synthetic materials, genuine wool is naturally breathable. It helps regulate temperature by keeping your feet warm when it is cold, while allowing heat and moisture to escape when needed.

This means sheepskin slippers are not only for winter. They can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.

Soft, Cushioned Comfort

Genuine sheepskin wool provides natural cushioning beneath your feet. The thick, soft lining gently moulds around the foot with wear, creating a comfortable and personalised fit.

Whether you are working from home, relaxing in the evening or simply wanting something warm to put on first thing in the morning, sheepskin slippers offer everyday comfort with a touch of luxury.

How Should Sheepskin Slippers Fit?

A new pair of sheepskin slippers should feel comfortably snug without pinching your feet. The wool lining will naturally flatten and mould to the shape of your foot over time, creating a little more room as the slippers are worn.

If you are between sizes or unsure which size to choose, consider the particular style and whether you prefer a snug or roomier fit. You are also welcome to visit us in store, where you can try on different sizes and styles.

How to Care for Sheepskin Slippers

With a little care, your sheepskin slippers can remain soft and comfortable for longer.

Gently shake or brush the wool to remove loose dust and dirt. Small marks can usually be carefully spot cleaned using cold or lukewarm water and a mild cleaner suitable for wool.

Avoid soaking your slippers or placing them in a washing machine unless the care label specifically says they are machine washable. Allow them to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight, heaters and other strong heat sources, as heat may cause the sheepskin to shrink or harden.

We also sell wool wash detergent that is specially formulated for caring for wool and sheepskin products. It is available to purchase from us here at Sheepskin Warehouse.

A Thoughtful and Practical Gift

Sheepskin slippers make a wonderful gift for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, or simply as a thoughtful way to help someone feel warm and cared for.

They are practical, beautifully comfortable and suitable for people of all ages. With a range of colours, sizes and styles available, it is easy to find a pair for someone special, or to treat yourself.

Discover the Comfort of Sheepskin
