A bootie version of the ABE Shetland Home Shoe, providing extra warmth with the high cut bootie design and a relaxed fit to allow room for thicker socks. These Shetland wool slippers are perfect for cozy winter days and the high quality ultra-soft Shetland wool is sure to keep your feet toasty warm. Equipped with an incredibly soft inner lining, and a lightly padded suede-like sole underfoot offers subtle traction and protects floors from scuffs and scratches. The open back makes it easy to slip on and off, so you can ease into comfort whether you’re starting your day, or drawing it to a close.
Room Shoe Sizing Tips: Room shoes are designed for maximum comfort and are very forgiving when it comes to sizing, but it is important that your foot is not larger than the footbed. To ensure a proper fit, put on the type of socks you plan to wear with your room shoes and measure the length of your foot (in centimeters) while standing. Compare this measurement with the Japanese sizing in the chart below - which is also measured in centimeters - to determine the appropriate size. If you fall between sizes, round up, and if you have particularly wide feet, consider moving up one size. For more tips, check out our rikumo Journal post on achieving a perfect fit.

Care: These shoes feature a soft sole and are intended to only be worn indoors. Please do not wear them outdoors or on cement. These room shoes are hand washable. Wash separately using a wool detergent and fabric softener. Do not use chlorine bleach. After washing, reshape and dry in the shade. Avoid strong friction. Pilling may occur over time, due to the nature of long-fiber wool. Trim with scissors or use a wool brush when needed to remove pilling and restore the look of the shoes.
