Buy house Slippers at Gottstein: What should women look out for?
We offer a wide range of high-quality house slippers made of wool felt and walk. Our wool slippers are all sustainably and regionally manufactured in our factory in Ötztal-Bahnhof. For this purpose, we process airy virgin wool into fine wool felt slippers and slippers made of walk fabric. The virgin wool encloses your feet snugly and protects you from the cold. What's more, our woollen slippers are suitable for all seasons. Why? Because wool has a temperature-balancing and health-promoting effect. Our felt slippers for women have a noble and high-quality finish and ensure relaxation. Just slip them on and feel good!
You should consider the following criteria when buying women's house slippers:
- Fit: You can choose between many different ladies' slipper models. In addition to ladies' felt slippers, ladies' wool clogs and ladies' cottage slippers, we also have wool sneakers made of wool and ladies' slippers made of rare wool, made from undyed wool from endangered sheep breeds such as Tyrolean stone sheep, Swiss Jura sheep, moorland sheep and many more.
- Size: As most of our house shoes are unisex, you will find slippers for small feet as well as for large feet. There are also house shoes for wide feet or narrow feet, such as the JU720. If you are looking for an open and airy slipper, then you are well advised to choose the ST 722. If you're not quite sure which shoe size is right for your feet, you can find our size chart and detailed instructions on how to measure your feet here. Don't forget to leave a small space of 6 mm in the heel area between your heel and the edge of the shoe. This provides even more relaxation and an additional feel-good effect.
- Quality: All our slippers for ladies are of the highest quality. The women's slippers are lovingly handmade by our team in our manufactory in Ötztal-Bahnhof. We source all the components needed for a slipper regionally and pay attention to sustainable production and short transport routes. For the models with leather soles, we use vegetable (plant) tanned leather. For the slipper models with felt latex soles, we use natural latex from Austrian suppliers. Our cork footbed for the Stegmann slipper models is also sourced from Austria.
- Colours: Choose from a wide range of coloured ladies' slippers. With our large selection of different women's slippers, there is something for every taste. Even if you prefer muted colours for your felt slippers, we can fulfil your wish. Simply select the desired colour from the undyed models made of rare wool.
- Price: Each ladies' slipper is handmade to a high standard and with great attention to detail by our long-standing employees from the region in our manufactory. Every single employee attaches great importance to high-quality workmanship for special wearing comfort. Since we pay attention to sustainable production, high-quality and renewable raw materials and a fair remuneration of our employees, the price-performance ratio is balanced.
Why should you wear ladies' slippers or ladies' house shoes?
Slippers is the umbrella term for many different terms that are used synonymously, house shoes mules or as we say in Austria, patschen. Slippers without a heel part are called Patschen here in Austria. Slippers are mainly used indoors and are therefore much lighter, softer and more comfortable than street shoes. Nevertheless, they offer your feet a protective and guiding function. Did you know that slippers have been known since ancient times? Even back then they were made of wool. We'll give you 10 good reasons why our wool slippers are unbeatable:
- Slippers made from natural material: Wool is a renewable raw material. We only use mulesing-free virgin wool and regional wool from endangered sheep breeds in Europe for our slippers. Wool is particularly beneficial to your health and promotes the relaxation of your feet. In our slippers made of cosy virgin wool, you immediately feel comfortable! So you can feel nature on your feet at every turn.
- Slippers for every season: Virgin wool regulates temperature. That's why our women's slippers ensure a feeling of well-being all year round. Whether in summer or winter - with our comfortable women's slippers you are well advised in every season.
- Slippers against sweaty feet: Virgin wool has an antibacterial and breathable effect. This inhibits unpleasant odours and helps the skin to breathe. At the same time, perspiration is inhibited.
- Slippers against cold feet: The cosy virgin wool encloses your feet and keeps them snug and warm. So the cold doesn't stand a chance!
- Slippers against dirty feet: Who doesn't know that - even if the flat is so clean - when you walk around barefoot or only with socks, you collect the dust from the floor and spread it all over your home. This results in dirty soles or dirty socks. This could easily be avoided with our women's slippers made of virgin wool.
- Lightweight slippers: Virgin wool is very light. We use this property for our very light slippers. Our Magicfelt model weighs only 89g (measured in size 38). That is probably a world record. So you walk like on clouds - airy Magicfelt women's slippers for special comfort when worn.
- Dirt-repellent slippers: Virgin wool is very dirt-repellent and easy to clean. Pat your slippers out every now and then to rid them of dust and dirt.
- Slippers for more grip: Our slippers provide good grip on any floor with their leather sole, felt-latex sole or cork sole.
- Slippers for insoles: Our slipper models with an existing insole can be easily and uncomplicatedly exchanged. Of course, these slipper models are also suitable for orthopaedic insoles.
- Traditional craftsmanship: We have been making slippers from wool since 1926. More than 80 process steps and a lot of hand movements are necessary to make a slipper out of wool.
Is it healthy to wear house shoes and do they prevent colds?
Cold feet can be the cause of colds and bladder infections. Especially when walking barefoot on cold floors, the risk of catching a cold is high. The body needs a lot of energy to bring the feet back to normal temperature and this can weaken the immune system. There is even a study on this conducted by Ronald Eccles and Claire Hohnson in 2005 that proves the myth that cold feet make you sick. Therefore, it is advisable to wear slippers in summer as well as in winter to prevent cold feet and colds. This of course applies equally to men's wool slippers as well as wool slippers for children.
Warm house shoes - which materials keep my feet particularly warm?
Slippers made of virgin wool are particularly cosy and warm and are therefore very suitable for ladies who quickly feel cold on their feet. Our mules made of lambskin also keep your feet warm. Lambskin slippers for women are particularly fluffy and you can also order them from our online shop. Of course, we also offer lambskin slippers for men and lambskin slippers for children.
What kind of footbed should comfortable house shoes have?
Depending on your preferences, you can choose between different models and thus different footbeds. Our Stegmann house shoes have a comfortable cork footbed. The perfect shape with transverse and longitudinal arch as well as toe grip ensures unique wearing comfort.
Magicfelt slippers are seamlessly formed and have an anatomically shaped footbed made of virgin wool. This allows for relaxed walking that is close to the ground. Of course, many of our other models also have a pleasant and healthy footbed.
In which house shoes do feet not sweat?
All our house shoes are perfect against sweaty feet. Pure new wool has a temperature-regulating and antibacterial effect and is therefore perfect for keeping your feet from sweating. While other manufacturers often use polyester felt under the term "felt", we only use pure new wool. Gottstein slippers help with sweaty feet in every season. If you want something even airier, we recommend open slippers made of wool - model ST 722.
Do Gottstein have comfortable house shoes for women with heels?
Our felt clogs for women with block heels and a cork footbed offer special comfort and contribute to your relaxation. A heel always visually stretches the leg and has a positive effect on the body. If you wear slippers with a heel, your pelvis can straighten up better. This prevents back pain. Please note that this positive effect can only be seen with low heels.
Our house shoes without heels also have a soothing and relaxing effect. Our thin leather sole offers good grip on any surface and you still walk very close to the ground. With our felt latex sole you walk lightly, but still safely. Our women's slippers allow you to feel barefoot despite being a slipper!
Colourful women's house shoes or would you prefer slippers in muted natural shades of undyed virgin wool?
With our stylish felt house shoes for women, you'll always have a warming companion for your feet. We have a variety of colourful styles to match your favourite garments, or you can simply go for your favourite colour.
Did you know that colours have a special effect on your well-being and emotions?
According to colour psychology, colourful slippers have the following effect:
- red slippers: invigorate and give energy. Increase motivation.
- yellow slippers: trigger a feeling of warmth and have an exhilarating effect.
- blue slippers: have a calming effect and provide serenity.
- pink slippers: relax the body, relieve pain and soothe the mind.
- purple slippers: stimulate the imagination and have a relieving effect.
- green slippers: help relieve stress and restore lost energy.
- brown slippers: radiate peace and security and provide relaxation.
If you love being close to nature, we recommend our house shoes made from rare wool from endangered sheep breeds. With each pair you support local shepherds and the preservation of endangered sheep breeds:
- Tyrolean Stone Sheep: The grey slippers made of wool from Tyrolean Stone Sheep captivate with their silky sheen.
- Tyrolean Mountain Sheep: The slippers made from wool of the Tyrolean Mountain Sheep have very beautiful down-to-earth colour mottling.
- Swiss Jura sheep: The house shoes made of wool from Swiss Jura sheep have a brown tone. The wool is particularly cosy and soft.
- Shetland sheep: The wool of the Shetland sheep is crimped and soft. There are many different shades, but we make our slippers from Shetland sheep wool in "moorit" - a beautiful, warm light brown.
- Gotland sheep: The ladies' slippers made of Gotland sheep wool are greyish and super soft.
- Coburger Fuchsschaf: The golden yellow to reddish virgin wool of the Coburger Fuchsschaf is very crimped and soft. That is why the ladies' slippers have a reddish tinge.
- Moorschnucke: The pure white wool of the Moorschnucke consists of brittle outer hair and fine under hair. The overhair hardly felts and gives the slipper a special look.
Which is better: closed or open house shoes?
That depends on your preferences. If you always have cold feet, we recommend choosing closed slippers. Our women's slippers are also good for cold feet. However, if you like it very airy and light, then we recommend our open slippers made of wool model ST 722. Of course, we also have men's house slippers and children's slippers in our range.
If your toes often bump into chair legs or wall edges, we would also recommend closed slippers. Closed slippers offer more protection than open slippers.
How can you measure the size of women's slippers?
Your shoe size is determined by your foot length. If you are still unsure which size is right for your feet, here is a size chart and a detailed description of how to measure your feet. This will help you find the right size for the most comfortable fit for your feet. Often people have asymmetrical feet, so we recommend measuring both feet. Please note that your feet are smaller in the morning than in the evening - so we recommend that you measure your feet more in the evening. For optimum comfort when wearing, we recommend leaving 6mm of clearance between the edge of your women's slipper and your heel. You should be able to walk comfortably in our cosy slippers for women and your heel area should have enough clearance to the edge of your women's slippers. Slip them on, feel good and relax!
What do you have to consider when cleaning and caring for women's slippers?
Our cosy wool is naturally dirt-repellent. New wool is generally said to be self-cleaning and very easy to care for, which is why beating the women's slippers is completely sufficient to get rid of dust and dirt in the new wool. Your comfortable virgin wool slippers can be aired out from time to time. To do this, simply put the slippers outside. Please avoid direct sunlight! The sun's rays can be very strong and change the colour of your slippers. This is by no means a quality defect of our slippers, but the natural colours are not meant for very long exposure to sunlight.
Can I wash my women's slippers in the washing machine?
In our large range of different women's slippers there are also women's slippers that can be washed in the washing machine. The following women's slipper models can be washed in the washing machine at 30 degrees on the wool cycle:
- Ladies Wool Sneaker: Wool Walker model with lining and upper made of virgin wool.
- Women's Walk slippers: Models such as Ötz, Kauns, Virgen and Klaus.
- Please do not wash Magicfelt, Stegmann, our cosy lambskin slippers or the 3D Knitboot in the washing machine. The felting process itself simulates a washing machine wash and causes the wool fibre to felt. Another wash would only push the wool fibres closer together and your cosy ladies' wool slipper would become warped and deformed. Moreover, new wool is inherently dirt-repellent. The lanolin naturally present in virgin wool is particularly beneficial to health and contributes positively to the dirt resistance of your women's slipper.
Washing in a washing machine would wash out the valuable lanolin and have a negative effect on the dirt-repellent properties of the wool.
Can house shoes go in the dryer?
Since new wool is self-cleaning and should not be washed, it is not necessary to dry them in the dryer. Due to its fibre structure, pure new wool practically cleans itself. We strongly advise you not to dry your cosy virgin wool slippers in the dryer.
How do house shoes stay nice and cosy for longer?
Since virgin wool is temperature regulating, our cosy women's slippers are suitable for all seasons. To ensure that you can enjoy our high-quality women's house shoes for a long time, we have a few tips and tricks for you on how to enjoy your women's slippers for a long time. Regularly pat out your cosy women's slippers.
Every now and then, you can brush your home shoes with a soft brush.
Please make sure that the soles of models with latex felt soles do not get wet, as this can soften the natural latex. However, if this should happen, simply leave the ladies' slipper to dry with the sole facing upwards.
Our sustainable house shoes are made of virgin wool and are a purely natural product. That is why our cosy slippers for ladies have a limited lifespan of approx. 2 years with normal use. However, some ladies have their slippers in use for up to 10 years.
With our high-quality women's slippers, you'll be happy for a long time and have a comfortable base!
