Our Wool Slippers are crafted with our Signature Arch Support and lined with 100% New Zealand wool for extra cosy comfort . The wool naturally regulates temperature, prevents overheating, and wicks away moisture to keep your feet fresh, supported and snug, all day!.<h3 dir="ltr" id="will-they-make-my-feet-sweaty">Will they make my feet sweaty?</h3>New Zealand Wool is naturally breathable and moisture wicking, so it&#x2019;s great at keeping your feet at the right temperature. The open toe design also helps to regulate heat - keeping your toes cosy, but fresh, most of the time. If you&#x2019;re a naturally sweaty person, we suggest wearing these without socks, for maximum comfort. &#xA0;<h3 dir="ltr" id="what-type-of-wool-is-used">What type of wool is used?</h3>We use 100% premium New Zealand sheep&#x2019;s wool for softness, warmth and durability. It&#x2019;s naturally breathable and odour-resistant. Are they durable and how long will they last?Built with a durable outsole and a premium wool upper that holds its shape, these are designed to be your go-to winter slippers (and probably a few autumns and springs too). Just like our thongs and slides, they&apos;re designed for everyday, all-day wear and built to last.<h3 dir="ltr" id="can-i-wear-them-outside">Can I wear them outside?</h3>Definitely &#x2014; for short trips like grabbing the mail or stepping out for a coffee. The raised outsole protects the wool from dirt and moisture, by reducing contact with the ground. Ideal for those quick step-outside moments (and everything in between)s.&#xA0;<h3 dir="ltr" id="are-they-vegan">Are they vegan?</h3>No, our Wool Slippers are not vegan as they use real wool. However, we appreciate your feedback and may consider vegan options in the future.
