Genuine Sheepskin Slippers

I have memories of lying on the back of my mums skyline car in the 80’s. Her seats were fully covered in sheepskin. No seatbelts to worry about, so I would spread out and sink into that soft wool like I was on a heavenly cloud. Sliding my feet into Froggie genuine sheepskin takes me back to that relaxed feeling. It has an instant “Ah” factor.
The thing about genuine sheepskin is that I could lie on that backseat all year round, even through Durban summers with the windows rolled down. Sheepskin has this amazing natural ability to be comfortable in all weather conditions. It is the reason why genuine sheepskin pram and car seat liners were developed. It keeps baby cool in summer and warm in winter. The key is to have 100% GENUINE sheepskin. I’m sad to say there are well known branded sheepskin products out there that are actually blended with synthetic fibres and still classed as real sheepskin. These will make your feet sweat and will not have that natural fluffy feel that genuine sheepskin has. Once you know the difference, it is hard to settle for the fake.
 
Here's why we used Genuine sheepskin for our latest sheepskin slipper mules to join our 2024 collection :
 

TEMPERATURE : You can wear them all year-round. Sheepskin has thermostatic properties to keep feet just the right temperature, no matter the season. Naturally breathable, sheepskin keep your feet cool in the summer and wonderfully warm and insulated in the winter.

Anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic properties : No more stinky feet! Sheepskin fibres contain Lanolin which is naturally anti-bacterial, keeping your tootsies feeling fresh and reducing foot odour. Sheepskin also repels dust mites and mildew, making it an extra-enticing choice for allergy sufferers.

No more sweat (urgh!): While footwear lined with synthetic blends often cause feet to sweat, genuine sheepskin absorbs moisture and perspiration, allowing you to feel dry, comfortable, and friction-free with every step. Good if you suffer from blisters.

Very durable: Sheepskin lined footwear are in it for the long haul. Sheepskin wool fibres can be bent 20,000 times without ripping. I expect my new shoes to last and last.

Cosy on your feet: Slipping into a pair of plush sheepskin open back shoes feels so luxurious. Who doesn’t deserve that after a hard day’s work? The shoes are really springy too – so feels like you’re walking on clouds. Synthetic blends feel scratchy on your foot in comparison.

Warm feet, warm heart:  Keeping your feet warm and cosy, will keep the rest of you feeling snug too. Sheepskin is a natural insulator providing superior warmth and thermal regulation so you don’t overheat. The alternative of a synthetic blend will make your feet inescapably hot even on cold days.

Forgiving fit : Sheepskin, moulds to your foot, providing a more customized fit. Synthetic blended fur is prone to piling or shedding during time and will flatten out after a few wears.

 

 

Now that we have covered why investing in Genuine sheepskin is imperative, let’s take a look at our 2024 collection of  Genuine sheepskin mules. A closed toe and an open toe slide.
