Kyrgies Classic: Timeless Felted Wool Slippers
Our original, beloved style, Kyrgies Classics are simple, stylish, and built for comfort. Though our designs have evolved, the quality and craftsmanship of these wool house shoes remain unchanged. Perfect for lounging or everyday indoor wear, they bring timeless ease to your home life.
Handcrafted using centuries-old techniques from Central Asia, each pair is made from all-natural wool sourced from small, family-run farms in Kyrgyzstan. The wool naturally wicks moisture and resists odor, keeping your feet warm and dry year-round.
Classics feature a non-slip sole for stability and a low back for easy slip-on wear. They’ll quickly become a staple of your stay-at-home wardrobe.
Why Kyrgies Classics are a Sustainable Choice
Made with just four materials—wool, natural rubber glue, polyester felt, and silicone embedded into the outer sole to make it non-stick—Kyrgies Classics are designed to minimize environmental impact. 90% of the wool is sourced near our Bishkek factory, which uses low-impact dyes and water waste treatment to reduce its footprint.
Every pair supports fair wages for Kyrgyz artisans, 80% of whom are women. Your purchase helps keep this local tradition alive. Learn more on our sustainability and craftsmanship pages.
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.
Handmade
Each piece reflects timeless artistry, crafted by hand using techniques passed down through generations.
FAQ
Does Kyrgies fit true to size?
Kyrgies come in European sizes. We have created conversions to US sizing based on extensive feedback from our customers over the years. Generally speaking, we suggest you follow our conversion. If you are in between sizes, we suggest that you order up.
If you have a low volume foot, adding a pair of insoles to your order is a good way to get the correct length and without the slipper feeling too wide and roomy. For detailed information about sizing, please refer to our sizing guide on this page.
If you do find that your slipper doesn't fit perfectly, our returns policy means you can quickly and easily swap for the size you need.
Can I throw my Kyrgies in the wash?
We don’t recommend it. All Kyrgies are made from felted wool and can easily shrink or lose their shape in the washing machine. It can also cause the leather soles on certain styles to bleed. If your Kyrgies are looking a little dirty, try spot cleaning with a dry brush, or if necessary, a gentle wool-friendly detergent and a damp cloth. Dry cleaning is also an option.
If the worst happens and you have an accident with bacon grease or similar (yup, we've all done it), a trip to your local dry cleaners should return your shoes to new.
Can I wear my Kyrgies outside?
Unfortunately, any showcasing of your brand new slippers should take place inside the home. Kyrgies are designed to face the Great Indoors; wearing them out on the drive, pottering around the garage or roaming around the garden will only lead to misshapen wool felt for your shoes and bitter disappointment for you. Seriously, keep them indoors.
Our Tengries Walkabouts for men and women have rubberized soles that are created specifically for outdoor wear. These soles are durable and can be worn outside extensively. They can even be worn in cold snowy conditions. We still don't recommend getting your wool felt uppers very wet. They will absorb water and slush and won't be very cozy at that point.
Bringing the Ancient Power of Wool Felt to Your Home
We create products for people that care about where their clothing comes from. People that also consider their homes to be a special place and look forward to the ritual of arriving home, taking off outdoor shoes, and embracing their Kyrgies.
Handmade
Handmade in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous region of peaks and fertile valleys, Kyrgies embody the ancient, essential connection between the sheep that roam the hillsides and the Kyrgyz people that raise them for their wool.
Always Sustainable
Our factory's ability to produce wool felt is legendary. This can be attributed to the skill and love that the artisans give to their work. Every pair of Kyrgies that is produced is touched by the hands of many Kyrgyz artisans. From the sheep shearer to the quality control expert that signs off on every pair.

The shape gently snuggles you toes. Warm and light weight. Love them!!
I just ordered my second pair of these. My first ones lasted a couple years but the front big toe finally wore through. Coming back for the same ones in the same Plum color (easy to find because they stand out). The plum seems a bit more vibrant in person than in the pics. The non-skid surface they put in the bottom wears off over time and they can get a bit “slippery”. Be careful on wood stairs.
Best Christmas gift decision ever! I bought these for my mom and she won’t take them off. They are comfortable and cozy enough without making feet feel sweaty. She can wear them with socks or without and her feet feel comfortable. She’s even had me order some for her sister‘s birthday in May. But we’re getting them now because she can’t wait, she says they’re too good and early birthday presents are fantastic.
I bought my own Kyrgies for Christmas in 2020 and they are holding up very well (I attached photo of my 1 year old Kyrgies). I went up a size on mine and ordered lambswool liners because I prefer to have a thicker cushion. Worked out very well for me : )
10 outta 10, would recommend!
I love my Kyrgies! I’ve never really liked slippers and avoid wearing socks at all costs. The first winter in a new to me house with some very cold kitchen floors changed my mind and figured I had to try something. Now I don’t know how I’ve lived so long without them !
Every time I slip them on, I wonder where they've been my whole life. It's like I was missing a piece of myself until now.
I’ve had these slippers about a month now, and I really like them. At first I didn’t love the fit, but after a day of wear they conformed to my feet well. What I like most (outside of low impact this brand has on environment) is that after a month of use, they don’t smell! This was a huge problem for other slippers I’ve had in past- like, really bad problem. The wool in these slippers seems to keep odor at bay. Giving it 4 stars, as a 12.5 size option would be ideal- I went a half size up, but will prob go a half size down next time as they’ve become roomier with wear. Would recommend!
I've recently purchased my first pair of Kyrgies (classic wool slippers low-back) for wearing around the house -- exactly as I'd expected. I find them to be true-to-size, and keep my feet a perfect temperature: not too hot, not too cool. Also, and as expected, I wouldn't walk around in them overly much as there isn't 'support', but for lounging and just kicking back they're perfect.
Perfect for my neuropathy feet. Just received my Kyrgies as a birthday gift. Can’t say enough about how good they feel. Yes, as other reviewers mention it was a little push to get them on but now I never want to take them off. I’m confident that they will overtime form to my foot and be easier to get on.They grab my aching feet softly with equal pressure all around. My heel doesn’t slip. I have room to wiggle my toes. I wear support stockings all the time and wear a size 8 1/2 shoe so ordered the euro 39 which is perfect. I love that women own on this business and that I am benefiting from their work so far away across the globe.
*Note: these particular slippers do not provide foot and arch support*
I do have wide feet, yet they slide in and out of these slippers smoothly.
I wear these, comfortably, around my house during the day and to my porch to water flowers. With or without socks, they seem to regulate my body temperature well, as I haven’t gotten sweaty feet in them. Keep in mind it’s been a very mild 55-70 degrees in Washington state these past couple of weeks.
Assuming their quality will hold up long enough to compensate for their price, I plan to purchase another pair whenever I need new slippers.
All the silicone grips came off within a week so now they are dangerously slippery on hardwood floors. Barclay had reached out about replacing with the leather bottom version for me to try but so far they have not arrived and I have received no notice of shipment. So at this point I would like to return these for a refund. Unfortunate because I like they way they fit and feel but they are just to dangerous to wear.
Literally just got them and put them on!! I really love them. I am hoping that the bottom won’t peel like another reviewer said. 🙏🏻 I love the look, so simple, Scandinavian vibes. Comfortable and cute! I was worried because I got them in 8 1/2 my normal shoe size, normally there is some toe space so I got that size. They do have that same space but I like it because them my toes aren’t jammed in! It’s more comfortable to walk in. Plus my kitty loves them. WIN!
Ordered these only a few weeks ago, and already the little rubber treads on the bottom have all completely fallen off and the wool is coming off in chunks. They are still comfortable to wear, but now the bottoms are very slippery.
Hi, we are so sorry to hear this. We've had some recent product quality issues with certain pairs of classics. Kyrgyzstan was ahead of the curve responding to COVID 19 and shut their borders with China earlier in the year. Unfortunately, that's where most of our silicone comes from. We found an alternative source, but it's quality is not as consistent. In any event, we will email you directly to address this. Thanks!
I have 2 thoughts overall:
1. The slippers are too loose and cause foot pain because I try to keep them on when I walk by gripping with my toes (I have the right size and using the inserts with thick socks).
2. The non-slip grips on the bottom all fell off around my house after the first 3 days of use. On day 5, I actually slipped and fell, hurting my hip, knee, hand and neck pretty badly.
I really wanted to love these slippers, but they cause a lot of pain!

I have been putting off getting these house slippers for a long time and finally ordered them. I love them so much I can’t imagine life without them now. Definitely going to order another pair!!
I got these slippers as a Christmas gift last year and was super happy with them (they’re comfy, they don’t make my feet sweat, and they’re super easy to slide on and off), until 10 months later they developed holes by the big toe. I’m so disappointed given their price and how beautiful they are! I thought I had found my perfect slipper.
I am in love with these! I ordered the gray. My feet are so cozy and comfortable!! Perfect!!
I had been looking for a pair of wool slippers foreverrrr, and unable to find the “perfect” style and colour (didn’t want anything with a bulky soul or too masculine looking)....and I’m obsessed with these slippers!!! I wear them pretty much 24/7, as I’m a working mama so I spend lots of days cozy at home!! I got a couple pairs for my kiddos too, and they rock theirs all the time too :)
High quality and so cute. Highly recommend!!
I’ve worn many felted and boiled wool products over the years, both slippers and shoes. These remind me of my favorite Stegmann clogs minus the cork sole. Perfect fit, very comfortable, warm and a lovely shade of green. The non-slip feature on the bottom is very nice too. Love them!
I ordered a pair with wool soles and I am so impressed with the felt that was used. They stay on well and keep my feet warm. I did size down, but would order my normal size if wearing with socks.
a little narrow for my wide feet but otherwise lovely
Finally an indoor shoe that seems to keep my sweaty feet dry!!! It took me 45 years to find an indoor shoe that my sweaty feet wouldn't slosh around in. I don't like socks indoors and my "As good as it gets" for indoors has been Birks for years. Leather after a few months becomes basically a black oil slick with my feet and anything rubber, forget about it, squeaky wet blister causing mess. These are a godsend!!! I also bought the insoles as I'm 190lbs and like the extra cushion. As soon as I click next on this review, Im buying more.
These are wonderful. we'll made and very comfortable. Definitely recommend.
