Kyrgies Classic: Stylishly simple felted wool slippers
Classic in design and classic in name: the Classic felted wool slippers are the original Kyrgies style. While the designs might have changed over the years, the quality, comfort, and classic craftsmanship of these wool house shoes have not. Think timeless, indoor fashion that's the perfect fit for lounging, relaxing, and embarking on the Great Indoors.
Thousands of years of artisanship and tradition go into every pair of Kyrgies. Luxuriously soft on your feet, the slip-on house shoes are handcrafted from rolled wool felt using techniques borne upon the steppes of Central Asia centuries ago. Made from all-natural wool taken from small, family-herded flocks in Kyrgyzstan, these classic indoor slippers make the best of their natural properties: wool is both moisture-wicking and odor resistant, keeping your feet warm and dry, whatever the season.
Available in four colors, and with a non-slip sole for stability on hardwood floors, as well as a low back to make them easy to slip on or off, these Kyrgies will quickly become a staple of your comfy, stay-at-home style.
What makes Kyrgies Classics such a sustainable choice of house shoe?
Part of the magic of all of the Kyrgies' slippers is how minimal their environmental impact is. The Classics contain just four materials: wool, glue (made from natural rubber), polyester felt, and silicone grips. 90% of the wool comes from small-scale, family-run farms situated close to the factory in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, while the use of low-impact dyes and water waste treatment facilities limit the environmental impact of making boiled wool slippers.
Each pair of Kyrgies house shoes is handcrafted by local, Kyrgyz artisans, who are paid a fair wage for their work. In fact, your purchase keeps the factory in operation, where 80% of employees are women.
How do I clean my Kyrgies?
We can't stress this enough: please do not clean your Kyrgies with water! Thanks to the natural properties of the felted wool from which they are made, your brand-new house slippers should avoid retaining odor and continue smelling like roses for their lifetime. However, if you do spill grease or any other liquid that stains, a quick trip to the dry cleaners will return them back to new.
