What are the benefits of lambskin slippers

The Texelana sheepskin slippers are made from the reverse fur of sheep. Slippers with sheepskin on the inside have several good qualities.

Slippers with lambskin or sheepskin slippers feel warm and comfortable: Lambskin is soft because the slippers are made from sheep's fur that has never been sheared before. This makes the slippers feel wonderfully comfortable and you can wear them without socks. Due to the tanning process, a little lanolin remains in the fur, so the lambskin slippers also care for your feet immediately.

Lambskin slippers also have breathability. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture. This is transported outside, so your feet will not feel clammy in the lambskin slippers and your feet will stay nice and warm.

Sheepskin insulates. Wool bristles have many small bends (about 20 bends per cm, also called frizz), so that the air is retained well. This air layer is an important factor when it comes to insulation, but it is also essential for removing moisture. This way your feet stay comfortably warm without feeling clammy. The sheepskin slippers retain heat well due to their high insulation value. The slippers keep your feet warm in the winter and the wool provides ventilation in the summer. So you get wonderfully warm feet with sheepskin slippers.

Do lambskin slippers also have disadvantages?

Lambskin slippers also have some disadvantages. For example, lambskin is more vulnerable than leather, so it is possible that the slipper will develop wear marks if the right size is not chosen. While normal shoes are usually made of cowhide leather, our slippers are made of sheep leather. This makes slippers more vulnerable than if they were made of cowhide leather. If the slippers are purchased too small, pressure points may arise, causing the leather to wear out or tear more quickly. The effect of a sheepskin slipper is optimal if the slipper is not too tight, as you can imagine, if the fur is too a lot has been pressed because the slipper is too tight, hindering its insulating and moisture-wicking properties. It is precisely the small layer of air in the frizzy wool that provides the desired effect with these sheepskin slippers. It is therefore important that you choose the right size. This also improves wearing comfort. Slippers in the right size will last longer.

In addition, the price of a pair of lambskin slippers can be a disadvantage. These slippers last longer than a pair of synthetic slippers, but will last much longer when properly cared for.
