Slip into Comfort with German Slippers

Slip into these comfortable feet huggers

If there is one thing we know, its the right slipper in colder months can mean the world of difference to your feet. As the weather cools off, don’t be left out in the cold when it comes to covering your feet. The lineup of slippers from German Slippers are guaranteed to give your feet the support, comfort, and warmth they deserve. How do we know? Well, because we tried them out for 30 days and we can’t imagine putting any other slipper on in the morning.

Quality Meet Comfort, Comfort…well, you get it.

The team at German Slippers have been in the slipper/shoe game since 1990. But unlike other slipper brands, German Slippers works with a variety of slipper brands to expand the styles, fits, and likings to more and more people each year. In fact, take a look at this lineup of shoe/slipper brands featured on German Slippers:

That’s alot of slipper goodness right there. Our crew went with WoolFit slippers because of the style we liked, but the quality and offerings by all these brands are worth a look. Our crew tested and wore the WoolFit line of slippers for our duuude review.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

If you have ever tried to order slippers online, or even went to go in and buy them, you often wonder what the slipper will actually do once you wear it around the house. Will there be some random sew line that hits your foot as you walk, will kicking it on the couch be comfortable or irritating. Will the bottom sole run it’s course in a few weeks and you are back to buying another pair? We get it- because we live it too. With the WoolFit lineup, we noticed something different.

The WoolFit® ankle high Felt Slippers are truly unique in both look and craftsmanship. Inspired by the nomad tribe (that now live in the city of Kyrgystan) is a blend of traditional craftsmanship, modern design, and dedication to the quality materials used.

Sustainability/Responsibility

Only sustainable materials are used in the making of these slippers. The pure new wool comes from regional shepards who still keep their sheep in the nature all year long. The leather is a by-product of the meat industry and is tanned without using chemicals. The entire production is 100% plastic free.


Fairness/Equality

Working only with direct felt artists, these are in compliance with “direct-trade” which means those who make the products also profit directly from them. There is even a “zero-waste” policy so nothing is over or under-used.


Support

With every purchase of these slippers, it helps support the felt artists in Kyrgystan as well as the regional shepards to help secure fair paid jobs.

WoolFit® clearly knows a thing or two about making slippers. From the materials, to the craftsmanship, and the quality in how it is produced and sold, these slippers should not give any customer cold feet when diving into and/or slipping on a pair.

THE FIT

We had one crew member try them on and walk around the office while he was there. Every single day, for 30 days. Here was the feedback:

“They fit better and better each time I wear them.”

Boom. That is what we like to hear.

THE FEEL

Same duuude tested them out for us to see how they “feel” while wearing them for 30 days.

“I love wearing them with or without socks. The inside feels soft, and the sturdy outside gives me support like I wish my mom did.”

Ouch for the relationship, solid for the slippers though!

OVERALL

These slippers are not only soft, comfortable, and cozy- they are in fact some of the best we have tried on. The lineup of brand offerings from German Slippers features not only the slippers we reviewed, but slippers from brands that are also known for high quality and comfortable slippers. The wide range of colors, styles, and looks really do give you the one stop shop vibe for getting your next pair of slippers.

STANDOUT FEATURES

After testing out the slippers, wearing them, researching the materials and standards that these slippers met, and the OG methods of introducing a slipper that is as timeless as the slipper itself, there were some noted Standout Features:

  • The design is inspired by Native American's mocassins, paired with the spirit of German Slippers tradition

  • The vegetably tanned luxurious leather outsole makes these shoes the perfect home slippers as they not only provide good grip on any surface, but are also very floor-friendly and quiet white walking

  • WoolFit Taiga are produced fairly in a female-owned manufacturing facility in Kyrgyzstan, which produces these shoes with sustainable, regional materials only

  • The wool is sourced regionally and provided by small-businnes shepherds in the Himalayan mountains

With your purchase, you not only get one of the highest quality and most comfortable slippers in the world , but also support Kyrgyz felt artists and shepherds by helping create secure and fair paid jobs. And you support their still very young start-up for more sustainable, fair slippers made to the highest quality standards.
