Effortless, functional, and stylish: Our creative process continuously births novel and exceptional slipper designs and insoles. However, with the Tundra model, we opted for a more restrained approach, focusing solely on the fundamental elements: straightforward felt slippers crafted from entirely natural materials. Manufactured sustainably, ethically, and devoid of plastics.
Where are these slippers brought to life? The Tundra model hails from a workshop managed by women in Kyrgyzstan. Your purchase contributes to the livelihoods of these skilled felt artisans who handcraft these shoes, earning wages that far exceed the norms of their developing nation. The wool employed is sourced from local shepherds in the vicinity, who maintain traditional practices and graze their sheep outdoors for nearly the entire year. The demanding conditions of the Kyrgyz highlands yield a particularly durable type of felt from this wool.
Properties of the materials: Authentic felt supplies exceptional cold insulation without causing overheating, as wool inherently maintains a natural equilibrium of temperature. Over extended periods of wear, warmth and dampness are absorbed and rapidly expelled outward, thereby ensuring a consistently pleasant microclimate.
The affixed outsole, handcrafted from goat hide, undergoes chemical-free tanning. Despite its robust nature that guarantees extended longevity, the leather remains lightweight and flexible to allow unimpeded, instinctive movement.
Distinguishing Features from the WoolFit® Classic model: Distinct from the Classic model, the Tundra version also boasts manual assembly, yet the wool itself is mechanistically felted instead of being entirely hand-felted. Furthermore, the felt has a gentler and more adaptable quality, enhancing comfort.
