Are you looking for a nice warm pair of
slippers? All of our slippers have 100% shearling uppers and soles/insoles.
Our sheepskin slippers are not made from another material simply lined or
trimmed in shearling. The only other material involved (aside from
the thread) is our crepe outsole which is standard on the scuffs, optional on
the other items. Even the bottoms are sheepskin, not polyester or, as several of
our insole customers have stated, "fluff on cardboard". As a matter of fact,
except for the women's scuffs, the sheepskin we use in the bottoms is purchased
specifically for that use as opposed to the big guys who, if they
give you the real thing in the bottom, use off cuts that we normally throw away.
The insoles on the women's scuffs are cut from the same garment shearlings as
the scuffs so they will match the wool trim. In all other cases (The Foot Muff
uses long wool shearling but that is a completely different story) we use heavy
vegetable tanned sheepskin
(a change from previous years) with a minimum of ¾ inch wool depth.

Now, get this, we will be happy to resole our soft soled
shearling slippers for $16 per pair, postpaid. (Resoling FAQ'S) Have you found anyone else who is willing to do that?
Yes, we are more than willing to make
one slipper for those who need such. Cost is 1/2 of the full pair price plus
shipping/handling. We make them right here in Vermont. A single slipper or two of the
same foot, no big deal. We won't break up an already made pair but we will make
them just for you, no added cost.
If you are just looking for stand alone insoles we will be
happy to supply those as well. They are on our Miscellaneous
Items page and they are much better than "fluff on cardboard".
