Buy Felt Slippers for Women at Gottstein: What should you look out for as a woman?
We have been manufacturing sustainable felt slippers for women in our factory since 1926. Regionally, in the heart of the Tyrolean mountains, namely in Ötztal-Bahnhof, in Austria. We are specialists when it comes to processing wool felt. We use only 100% pure new wool for our felt slippers for women. The felt is produced on a carding machine and then rolled. This binds the wool fibres firmly together and forms a compact textile surface.
When it comes to felt slippers, it's worth taking a closer look because synthetic fibres are often added to felt production to increase margins or lower prices. We deliberately refrain from this, because for us, wearing comfort and quality come first. Our felt slippers are made of fine wool and are of high quality and you can wear them in every season.
If you have an existing allergy to wool, our felt slippers are unfortunately not suitable for you. Since we use pure new wool and process it as untreated as possible, our products contain lanolin. This is naturally noticeable in the case of an existing wool allergy. If you don't have an allergy, be happy: Our nature-conscious processing ensures that the healthy active ingredients of the wool reach your feet directly.
What are the advantages of felt slippers for women?
Felt slippers made of wool have a unique wearing sensation. Felt slippers are very comfortable to wear because they are very light. Our Magicfelt AN 709 model weighs only 89g in shoe size 38, which makes for a unique wearing sensation. In addition, slippers made of felt have many other advantages compared to slippers made of other materials:
- Slippers made of felt are easy to care for: wool absorbs dirt and is self-cleaning.
- Felt wool is odour-inhibiting and antibacterial: This prevents unpleasant odours from developing and spreading.
- Felt slippers against sweaty feet: Due to its temperature-regulating property, felt is a saviour for sweaty feet. Felt wool ensures an optimal foot climate. For the best wearing comfort, we recommend wearing our felt slippers barefoot.
- Felt slippers are temperature regulating: that's why you feel comfortable in our felt slippers both in summer and winter.
- Felt slippers have a soothing effect: Due to the lanolin contained in the felt wool, felt slippers for ladies have a pleasant effect on the body.
- Wool felt is a natural material: We manufacture our felt slippers for women regionally in our factory in Tyrol. Every wool slipper is still traditionally made by hand. Each felt slipper is a unique piece made with love!

This way we support the preservation of rare sheep breeds in Europe and our regional shepherds. This project is especially close to our hearts and with every pair of felt slippers made from rare sheep's wool, you are also contributing to the preservation of rare sheep breeds.
Felt slippers for ladies - what are the advantages of a footbed?
A supportive footbed helps the foot to roll when walking. This relieves the foot and improves posture. In addition, the joints are stabilised and the impact of walking is cushioned. Therefore, slippers made of wool with a footbed are especially suitable for people who walk and stand a lot.
Orthopaedic foot orthoses can help correct foot malpositions. The following foot malpositions exist:
- Flat foot: Due to the lack of longitudinal arching, the foot rests completely on the ground and forms a flat foot.
- Splayfoot: If the transverse arch of the foot is not very pronounced, the forefoot is wider and forms a splayfoot.
- Hallux valgus: The big toe is crooked. This can be very painful.
- Hackfoot: The foot bends upwards and the sole of the foot turns outwards. People with a heel foot walk on their heels.
All our slippers that have a changeable insole are suitable for orthopaedic insoles. These are the following models: Stegmann 127, Alpine Comfort and Wool Walker.
Interchangeable insoles and lambskin insoles are useful felt accessories that you will also find in our range. With our insoles made of wool or lambskin, the air can circulate well and there is no heat build-up. Women's feet stay dry and warm. Our insoles also have a beneficial effect on cold feet or sweaty feet.
Why are Gottstein felt slippers for ladies breathable?
Our felt slippers are made of pure wool. They are breathable, antibacterial and temperature regulating. Thus, felt slippers made of wool help best with sweaty feet.

Since felt wool is self-cleaning, it is sufficient to air out your felt slippers from time to time. To ensure that you enjoy your felt slippers for a long time, please follow our care instructions.

Felt slippers with heels have a positive effect on the body and prevent back pain. Attention: this pleasant effect only comes with low heels!

Felt slippers with quiet soles - Which slipper is particularly helpful against trampling?
Many people who live in apartment buildings know the problem: trampling. Trampling is caused by the movement of feet on the floor. Trampling occurs when the impact sound is transmitted through the walls and floor to the flat below. This can be very nerve-wracking.
Felt slippers help with sound absorption. You have to make sure you have the right sole:
- Slippers with felt-latex sole: Felt is sound-absorbing, insulates well against cold and regulates temperature in heat. Our coating with natural latex makes the sole slip-resistant.
- Slippers with leather sole: Our leather sole is vegetable tanned and has a noble decorative stitching. Felt slippers with leather soles make you feel like you are walking barefoot and yet sound is muffled.
- Slippers with rubber sole: Our rubber sole is made of natural rubber and cork. Joints are relieved and sound is inhibited when walking. Another advantage is that you can go outside without hesitation with a rubber sole.
- Trampling for children: For quiet walking with children, we recommend our children's slippers.
What do you have to consider when cleaning and caring for felt slippers for women?
Felt slippers made of natural wool are self-cleaning and dirt-repellent. Just pat them out to remove coarse dirt and dust from your felt slipper. You are welcome to air out your felt slipper from time to time. Please avoid direct sunlight. Smaller stains can be easily removed with a soft brush or a wool brush. For more details, please see our care instructions for wool slippers.
Can you wash your women's felt slippers in the washing machine?
Please do something good for yourself and your felt slippers and never put them in the washing machine! If the felt slipper gets completely soaked, it will deform and become unusable for you as a slipper.
If you want to clean your women's felt slippers, simply tap them to remove dirt and dust. Pure new wool is self-cleaning, which means that dirt does not penetrate the wool fibre, but is only on the surface and can therefore be easily removed with a soft brush.
Can you put your felt slippers in the dryer?
If you want to enjoy your felt slippers for a long time, never put them in the dryer. They will thank you for it 😊 Wool shrinks when the heat is too high. Our soles are also not suitable for the dryer.
How can you determine the right size for your felt slipper?
The length of your feet determines the size of your women's felt slippers. If you are not quite sure which size of felt slippers is right for you, take a look at our size chart. Here we have provided detailed information for you. Please remember that your feet change throughout the day. Therefore, we recommend that you measure your feet in the evening. For even more comfort when wearing your felt slippers, a small clearance of 6 mm between the edge of your women's felt slipper and your heel is obligatory. So you can just slip them on and enjoy the unique feeling of our women's felt slippers to the fullest.
How does the felt production for the Gottstein women's felt slippers work?
Did you know that felt is a non-woven textile? Felt is parallelised wool fibres that are joined together. We make our felts from pure new wool. On a card, the fibres are aligned (parallelised) and joined together (needled). They are then felted seamlessly by hand over a last and then rolled. The fulling process gives the slipper its shape and the wool fibres are anchored together. This makes the material robust and durable.
