abwsco Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Having bought some gorgeous lace up boots from Kiwi Sheepskins last year which kept my feet toasty and warm (no socks to be worn with them) even in temps of -5 in Krakow last year thought I'd treat myself to some slippers from them this year but the styles are a bit grannyish. Does anyone have any in a "younger" style? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I guess it depends what you mean by a younger style. Both of these guys do nice slippers but I think all sheepskin slippers look like they should belong to your granny! www.sheepskinstore.co.nz - my friend has a seat cover from these people and it is lovely, I didnt know they did slippers till I checked it out. www.sheepskinslippers.org.uk - I would love a pair of their slippers, I think they look a bit more modern but you may disagree! Good luck with your hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I know what you mean about sheepskin slippers looking like something your Granny should wear, but they're so warm and comfy, and I tend to think of slippers as being practical and functional, rather than fashionable. Unsuprisingly sheepskin products are very popular over here, something to do with the sheep poplution exceeding the human population 10x over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found these http://www.celtic-sheepskin.co.uk/cat.asp?productCode=SL in different colours so I could get some purple slippers so they wouldn't look quite so grannyish -lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I was just looking at these I am sooooooo very tempted (dont tell Kev ) but they look like the height of snuggled feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonix Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I want these ones: http://www.celtic-sheepskin.co.uk/cat.asp?productCode=F8 Ive got 2 pairs of uggs though so don't know if I can justify another pair of boots like them but these are TOTALLY different! xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchHazel Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Celtic Sheepskin (links in previous posts) do some non grannyish moccassins, both hard and soft soled. I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Ooh was mighty tempted by the purple ones and they even did them in my HUGE size 10. Don't think I can justify 50 Euros for them though - roll on Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Anne - you have led me into temptation and I have just ordered a pair of those boots. They sure do look toasty. Don't tell OH though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well I want some Ambler crocs boots!!!! I love knee length boots, but have wide muscley (spelling??) calves. I often have to buy boots from Evans as they always zip up. I'm loving those purple sheepskin slippers, ideal - as I get awful chilblains in Winter. Well I will live in the mountains in Austria & go trampolining on the trampoline covered in ice, with just socks on. I had mammoths crocs last year, but I don't like them!

Emma.x Emma, the boots I got from Kiwi Sheepskin would be ideal for you then as you can fasten up the laces as tight or as loose as you want. Service was fantastic as well. I can't recommend them enough. I'm going to order myself some of the purple slippers as I got some tax back yesterday due to the change in tax code. At least it will buy me some slippers -lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often have to buy boots from Evans as they always zip up. The Amblers are mens boots & start at a 7, but the Nadias are ladies, & although they are longer length,they are wide on the leg. I go to Evans for boots too, & the Nadias fitted me on the leg However,I didn't actually keep them as I preferred my Mammoths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well, have ordered my slippers from Celtic but gone for the Whiskey option in the end. Eldest daughter told me the purple made them look more like granny shoes There's a free delivery code of CS8 as well if anyone else wants to use it.
