Felt is largely self-cleaning and not very prone to getting dirty. Eventually, of course, it's time for a cleaning. Here's how:
- Preparation: First, tap out the slippers and brush off the dirt, e.g., with our felt brush.
- Hand wash: We recommend hand washing, but WoolFits with leather soles can also be machine washed.
- Washing machine: Use the gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Instead, use a mild wool detergent.
- Care: Additionally, after washing, the shoes can be treated with our lanolin wool treatment to restore the natural properties of the wool (dirt and water repellent).
- Drying: After washing, stuff the damp shoes with newspaper and let them dry at room temperature.
You can find more information in our care tips.
The leather sole is very durable and can be used outdoors (except when wet). However, it will quickly darken, so we recommend using the shoes indoors if possible. Sharp stones can also damage the sole. The average lifespan of our leather soles is 2-4 years.
As an online retailer, we focus on sustainability to enable guilt-free shopping. Our packaging is designed to be as environmentally friendly and thoughtful as possible.
We ship shoes climate-neutrally with DHL GoGreen. Our cartons are made from recycled material and sealed with plastic-free tape to ensure easy recycling.

Light & elegant felt ballerina slippers with insoles
Are you looking for a slipper that elegantly and stylishly flatters your foot without sacrificing comfort? That's not an easy task, but our ballerinas combine natural elegance and maximum wearing comfort.
This model is a true work of art, as it is hand-felted in one piece. They not only impress with their uniqueness but also with their thick, robust felt, which keeps your feet warm and incredibly comfortable.
The ballerinas are also equipped with a 5mm thick insole, which you can replace with a new one at any time. This way, you will enjoy your slippers for a long time.
Who are the ballet flats suitable for?
For anyone looking for a slipper that is stylish and nothing like a usual house shoe, our ballerina slipper is the perfect choice.
The fit allows for easy and quick entry. The replaceable insole can be changed and renewed as desired.
And not to forget, the ballerinas are seamlessly hand-felted, making them the ideal choice for people with particularly sensitive feet.
How are the ballerina slippers made?
The traditional manufacturing technique for a pair of ballerina slippers requires a variety of intricate steps. Particularly time-consuming is the hand-felted blank, which gives each pair its unique coziness. For additional robustness, the felt in this model is processed in several passes with a hammer fulling machine.

Sustainable Materials
We rely on sustainable & high-quality raw materials, including organic virgin wool from local shepherds, vegetable-tanned leather, and natural latex for sole bonding.
By the way, what's special about our Kyrgyz wool is that it doesn't come from Merino sheep, but from Kyrgyz fat-tailed sheep. These animals live outdoors all year round and are exposed to the extreme climatic conditions of the harsh nature. Therefore, their curly wool is considered particularly warm and robust. The wool of these sheep is generally mulesing-free.
Feel free to read our blog post about wool. Here you will find much more detailed information about this great and versatile material.
Our Manufactory
The WoolFit Ballerinas are produced in Kyrgyzstan in a woman-led
manufactory. The company is a collective consisting of various craftswomen and craftsmen.
We are incredibly happy to be working with this manufacturer, as it is considered a top employer in the country and the Kyrgyz people are very proud of this company.
We trade directly & without intermediaries, ensuring that 100% of the money reaches those who actually produce the slippers.
