How to Wash Your Sheepskin Shearling Footwear

How do I wash my slippers?

We recommend hand washing using a very mild LIQUID HAND SOAP. DO NOT use any detergents, delicate washes, wool washes or antibacterials. These can leach out the natural oils and the leather could become stiff.

We also advise against washing the entire slipper unless it becomes absolutely necessary, as some colour can be lost when washed. Please note that some stains, such as heavy foods, oil or nail polish will not come out with washing. We recommend speaking to a leather specialist in such cases.

For slippers with removable insoles (our high top, low top and pull-on versions), however, the insoles can and should be washed often. This raises the "luft" of the fleece underfoot, keeps them clean and comfortable, and extends the life of the insole (and thus the life of the slippers).

DO NOT PUT IN A DRYER!!! Dry slowly and away from a heat source or direct sunlight.

If you wash the entire slipper, stuff the interior with a towel to wick moisture from the wool prior to letting dry. Dry them in a "toe-up" position at room temperature (so any remaining moisture will drain to the slipper opening where it can evaporate easily). For slippers with removable insoles, dry the insoles outside the slippers. Work the leather by hand periodically while drying to help keep the slippers soft and to retain their shape.

This will ensure long life and enjoyment of your slippers!
