Full description

These felted booties are made in the Finnish tradition of felt making. They are hand felted using a wet felting method with pure and natural merino wool. Merino wool is very soft and not itchy against the skin. Wool is known for its properties of keeping you warm even when wet so they are perfect for keeping your baby's toes warm and snuggly.

It is recommended that when you first get them, soak the slippers in warm water and squeeze out the excess water by wrapping them up in a towel. Then put them on your baby's feet and allow them to dry. The wool slippers will gently mold to fit your baby's feet.

The slippers can be hand washed in warm water and left to dry. Again, put them onto baby's feet while they are still damp to reshape them for a perfect fit.

Because the slippers are made by hand it can take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete

Available in Ladies sizes.

There is also a version available for larger Men's sizes and also for Babies.

Designed by Paivi Suomi in Chichester
