Our secret? Knowing how to choose

What makes a Löwenweiss different from all other slippers? First of all, the materials we choose to make them. And understanding how to choose the best material also means knowing how to choose the best supplier of that material, the one who knows everything about a certain type of felt, wool or latex: consistency, resistance, workability, and softness.

And we transform these materials and this knowledge into the type of footwear that best suits your comfort. And that’s not all, because even in this case we want to look further ahead. How? Here’s the explanation, read on to see all the extra value your Löwenweiss brings!

WOOL FELT

The material most suited to your well-being

You know that special feeling of well-being you get when you take your foot out of your shoes and place it on a soft, cosy surface that fits you perfectly? This is exactly the experience we want you to have with our wool felt slippers. When we design and choose the materials for the insole and upper, we aim for durability, heat regulation and breathability. The material that best suits this need is wool felt, which is obtained from the felted wool fibre: the heat and movement encourage the fibres to fuse into a compact material ready to be moulded into the desired shape.

And to the planet: Responsible Wool Standard certified wool 

Our felt is perfect for your well-being and also has an extra special feature that makes it the best choice for the planet too: it comes from wool certified according to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). This means that the wool used to produce it is derived from traceable and responsibly managed sources, in compliance with strict environmental, ethical and social criteria.

LATEX

The sole is probably the last thing you notice in a slipper. Yet this is precisely what allows you to walk safely and comfortably, keeping your foot protected from the floor temperature. We want the soles of our slippers to be breathable, insulating and durable, which is why we have chosen to combine two extraordinary materials: felt cloth and natural latex, extracted from the rubber tree, a tropical plant. Latex is used in the medical-surgical sector, precisely because of its purity, resistance and hypoallergenic properties. 

The felt cloth and natural latex together provide the best characteristics for your foot's well-being, creating hypoallergenic, breathable, insulating and stress-resistant soles. Just like the ones you find in all Löwenweiss products.
