Can you put your wool shoes in the dryer?
Our wool slippers for men are not suitable for the dryer. Neither the sole nor the wool upper material of our men's slippers would survive a tumble dryer.
How can you determine the right size for your wool slippers?
The shoe size is determined by your foot length. In our size table you can read how to determine this correctly. Please note that symmetrical feet are the exception rather than the rule. We therefore recommend measuring both feet. The longer foot is then decisive for the size of your wool slippers. It is advisable to measure your feet in the evening as your feet change throughout the day. For a good walking feeling you should calculate a clearance of 6 mm between the edge of your wool slipper and your heel. This ensures that your toes have enough toe room and you avoid pressure points on your feet.
