Description
Felted insoles provide extra cushion and comfort
Make the Kyrgies experience even more comfortable with our soft insoles and transform your favorite house shoe into a unique piece of footwear that matches your personality.
Made from the same wool felt as our iconic slippers, these insoles are designed to give extra cushioning to your house shoe for a cozier fit. Available in 12 distinctively vibrant colors, they’re also the perfect choice for adding a splash of color to our Kyrgies in neutral shades.
What’s more, if you’re between sizes and worried your new Kyrgies will be a little too large, an insole can ensure your new house shoes are a close and comfortable fit. Thanks to the moisture-wicking and odor-resistant properties of wool, these insoles will work with your slipper to keep your feet cozy and perfectly odor-free.
Tell me about the Kyrgies commitment to sustainable fashion
Of course! Like all of our Kyrgies slippers, these wool felt insoles come from our factory in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. There, they’re lovingly handcrafted by Kyrgyz artisans to whom we pay a fair wage for their craftsmanship. Forming part of a tradition of felting that has existed for thousands of years, our felt house shoes are made using all-natural materials, including low-impact dyes that don’t damage local ecosystems.
We live and breath environmental sustainability at Kyrgies, We give 1% of our gross sales each year through the 1% for the Planet network to non profits working on environmental projects around the world. Read about our sustainability commitments and craftsmanship to learn more.
Product Care
Our leather or felt-soled products are designed primarily for indoor comfort. While they can be worn outside, they are not intended for outdoor conditions.
For those who prefer outdoor use, our rubber-soled slippers are a suitable option. They're capable of outdoor wear but are not as robust as heavy-duty outdoor footwear. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles with these as well.
Our slippers are crafted from wool felt, a material that is sensitive to water. Wool felt can lose its shape when wet, so machine washing is strongly discouraged. To keep your Kyrgies in top condition, we advise spot cleaning with a damp cloth and lukewarm water, followed by air drying. Dry cleaning is also a viable care option.
Sustainability & Craftsmanship
Are these house shoes as sustainable as the rest of the Kyrgies range
We’re proud to say they are! As a company, we’re concerned about what goes into the manufacturing processes of our house shoes and, as a result, onto our bodies. Our leather soled products use vegetable tanned leather soles rather than the highly toxic chromium normally employed in the tanning process. Our rubber soled products use natural latex that has been vulcanized to increase durability.
Our commitment to low-impact and socially-responsible fashion doesn’t end there, though. All of our wool is sourced from small, family-owned flocks, while our factory in Kyrgyzstan pays fair wages to all its staff. We also work closely with a range of nonprofits and environmental movements to ensure our net impact is positive. Find out more about our commitment to sustainability here.
FAQ
How can I ensure I buy the correct size?
We recommend choosing an insole that matches the size of your slipper. However, as our insoles are handmade, they can vary slightly in size.
If you do find that your insole doesn’t fit correctly, our returns policy means you can quickly and easily swap them for the size you need.
How can I keep my insoles in tip-top condition?
As with our Kyrgies slippers, you should never wash your insoles using water. Like all wool products, our insoles can shrink or be misshapen through contact with water. Because wool is naturally moisture-wicking, these insoles should actually refrain from picking up any unpleasant odors during the course of their lifetime. However, if they do become stained, get them dry cleaned. They’ll be returned — as if by magic — to their original condition.
