abwsco Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can anyone recommend some please. I normally buy fabby ones from Kiwi Sheepskins but they're just under £16 a pair now I want ones with loads of sheepskin on though. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have had them in the past for wellies as i have Raynauds syndrome, They were toasty but the do squidgy down quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Funny, I was thinking about some of these for my eldest girls stocking,as she has permanently icy feet. Also saw some gorgeous UGG sheepskin gloves the other day............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ooh sheepskin insoles I have Raynauds too and I have never heard of these. Off to investigate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 These are the ones I normally get to put into my sheepskin boots I bought from them. Mine last a full winter being worn everyday so I suppose it's not too bad cost wise. Celtic Sheepskin do them but I don't think they look as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I suppose as a really cheap alternative you could buy an old sheepskin jacket/coat from a charity shop and cut some insole shapes out. They wouldn't have the foam backing but you'd get an awful lot of pairs for less than the price of one bought pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatieB Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Check out marlets too. I got some very cheaply last winter from my local market. Although they didn't look as fancy they were a fraction of the price and they all flatten quite quickly and can't be seen under foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I love this company and have had short boots from them in the past. I get terribly cold feet, but never have a problem when I'm wearing these! I think I'm about to buy some of the lace up boots, esp after seeing the 10% code!
