Footwear Construction
Three Ways to Find Your Comfort
One of the lovely qualities of natural felt and shearling is how they settle with wear. Wool fibers soften and yield to movement, gradually creating a personal fit tailored to the rhythm of your stride.
Felt with Soft Suede
Our natural wool felt upper is paired with a soft suede outsole, preserving sole flexibility while keeping your stride quiet. The felt upper softens and molds over time, offering a close-to-the-floor barefoot feel.
Felt with Hard Sole
Natural wool felt combined with a firm outsole for extra underfoot protection. The sole remains supportive while the inner felt footbed softens under heel pressure. (Currently synthetic outsoles; natural rubber versions in development).
Alpaca & Sheep Shearling
Upcycled alpaca hide pelts featuring an internal plush sheep shearling lining paired with a flexible suede-feel outsole. The outer pelt and internal shearling compress over time for customized winter warmth.
Natural Movement
A More Natural Feel at Home
If you enjoy barefoot footwear, our flexible suede-soled wool felt styles feel particularly natural indoors. While not technical barefoot shoes, their zero-drop low profile and lack of rigid arch support let your feet move freely.
It is less about changing how you walk and more about letting your feet feel the floor beneath them across wooden timber, rugs, and stone.
Everyday Rituals
A Barefoot-Inspired Routine
1. Start Barefoot
Allow your feet to flex, stretch, and spread naturally for a few minutes after waking up to stimulate healthy ground contact.
2. Move Gently
Walk around your living space and notice how your feet connect with different timber and textile floor textures.
3. Slip Into Comfort
When you need thermal warmth, choose the flexible felt or shearling construction that best suits your daily indoor rhythm.
