MagicFelt Slippers There are a lot of wool-felt slippers being made these days. The fact remains, that the Stegmann folks invented them in 1888 and have been making them ever since, in their same village in Tyrol. They take the wool from the first spring cutting, and felt it in their local, pure alpine water, without any harsh chemicals. They then shape the felt, seamlessly (!), into perfectly anatomic comfort. There are no better fitting, or lighter weight, felt slippers.

Tiroler Steinschaf Boot Slipper
These booties are felted with un-dyed wool, from the protected species of Tyrolean Stone Sheep, one of the oldest sheep breeds worldwide. The slippers have a removable foot-bed made of light cork and latex, and a cowhide outer sole, with a leather pull loop on the back to make getting in easier. These will be the best purchase you’ll make this winter, because you’ll do good for the species and keep your feet delightfully warm.

SPECIES PROTECTION
What attracted us to Stegmann, besides their obvious quality and fit, was the fact that they are actively engaged in Species Protection.
As you probably know,
many species of domestic
farm animals are dying out. For any number of reasons, but principally, uniformity makes industrial farming easier! We support Species Protection, because we feel it important to keep those gene pools as complete and pure as possi- ble. (Like a seed bank on four legs). To that end, we offer felt slippers from the wool of these seven sheep species: the Tirol Stone Sheep, Tiroler Bergschaf & Steinschaf, Gotland, Yak, Camel, Alpaca, and Swiss Jura Sheep.
Come in sizes 36-46. GT17731 $159.
Gotland Sheep Slippers In Gotland, there are still about 9000 of these thoroughbred sheep. Both rams and ewes have mighty horns, and their wool is flecked with grey and very soft. This breed is so old, the Vikings were known to trade the wool and pelts of Gotland sheep. Has
