Natural wool has loft
New sheepskin can feel fuller at first because the wool still has its natural lift. That plush layer is part of the warmth and softness customers are looking for.
With wear, the wool gently settles around the foot. A slipper that starts slightly secure may become more comfortable after a short break-in period.
Snug should not mean painful
A good snug fit feels held, not pinched. The toes should have room to rest naturally, and the widest part of the foot should not feel squeezed.
If the heel is slipping immediately, the slipper may be too roomy. If the toes are pressed or the foot feels cramped across the width, the size may be too small.
Think about socks and daily use
Some women wear sheepskin barefoot because the wool is already warm. Others prefer a light sock in winter. That habit can change the best size choice.
When choosing between two sizes, consider whether the slipper will be worn mostly barefoot, with socks, for short morning use, or for longer wear around the house.
