The unmatched warmth of sheepskin slippers: a must-have for your feet in the winter
In the form of mules, charentaise-styled, or fur-lined slippers, sheepskin slippers are highly appreciated during the winter for their high thermal comfort. With quality craftsmanship and natural fibres, these warm slippers will be the perfect companions for those who are sensitive to the cold.
Sheepskin slippers: warmth and optimal thermal comfort
The warm Airplum sheepskin slipper with plaid print: a timeless classic!
Made from natural fibres, sheep wool slippers provide warmth and comfort to the wearer. This material, obtained from sheep shearing, possesses exceptional thermal properties. This fleece naturally grows on the animal, protecting it during winter and providing warmth as well as optimal thermal regulation to endure harsh and very cold winters. This fleece is so warm that the sheep must be sheared in the spring to prevent them from suffering from the heat. With a thermal conductivity ranging between 0.035 and 0.042 W/m.K, sheep’s wool traps air inside its fibres, creating a strong thermal barrier. Furthermore, wool is thermoregulatory. It easily absorbs moisture within its own volume and can expel it to the outside, making it the ideal material for creating warm and comfortable winter slippers. Sheepskin footwear warms your feet while keeping them dry all day long. With such indoor slippers, you’ll avoid excessive sweating and the development of unpleasant odours or bacteria. With these warm slippers, your feet will experience a cosy and enjoyable winter.

Meticulous craftsmanship: the key to absolute quality for your footwear
Did you know? Our sheepskin slippers are crafted according to rigorous standards to maintain their quality. At Airplum, we manufacture cozy wool slippers using high-quality raw materials. The sheep’s wool used in our warm slippers and fur-lined slippers comes from England, one of the largest sheep-producing countries, and Spain. Britain is a land of sheep farmers and weavers, while the Iberian Peninsula is home to numerous sheep in its plains and mountain ranges. It was also in Spain that the trade of this animal fibre financed voyages around the world, to the Indies and the Americas! All our sheepskin footwear are made in France, in our workshop in the Périgord region, the birthplace of French slippers. We produce all our winter and summer slippers in Augignac, Dordogne. During our quality checks, we remove defective products from the production line. They are then integrated into the recycling chain to recover and reuse the raw materials. For us, each slipper must provide complete satisfaction to our customers.
Charentaise-style slippers: iconic, timeless, and a must-have for the cold-hearted
At Airplum, you’ll find sheep wool-lined slippers that are charentaise-styled. They are inspired by the famous slipper originating from Charente, considered the most comfortable of French slippers. Once made from wool felt, Charentaises with their Scottish or checkered print still captivate today with their form, cocooning spirit, comfort, and practicality. Our charentaise-inspired sheep wool slippers, such as the Prilaine and Polaine models, embody the characteristics of these Charente shoes: Scottish print, checkered fabrics, and thermoregulating interior lining. This closed slipper also comes in a mule or clog style. Discover our FIP model, a toasty woolen winter mule featuring a fur-lined open-back design.
How to Choose Your Warm Indoor Slipper for the Cold Season?

- Size: Make sure you choose the right size to provide your foot with optimal comfort. To order your Airplum sheep wool slippers and warm French slippers, consult our size guide. This will help you select the right size according to the various models of warm slippers. And if, by error, you’ve chosen the wrong size, rest assured that you can return your sheep wool slippers and exchange them for a size up or down. Check our return/exchange guide for more information.
- Sole: Are you looking for comfortable sheep wool slippers? Opt for our warm slippers with the Airplum comfort sole. The Airflex™ sole is made of polymer foam, comprising 55% air bubbles, making it flexible, lightweight, and perfect for easy movement and greater freedom of movement.

- Style and Colour: Whether it’s plaid, Scottish prints, burgundy, navy, charcoal, choose your sheep wool slippers to match your clothing style: casual or casual-chic. Scottish or plaid warm slippers are winter must-haves, while solid-coloured sheep wool slippers remain a classic choice.
- Maintenance: Most sheep wool slippers can be cleaned by hand or in a washing machine. It’s advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging your slippers. Airplum sheep wool slippers are all machine washable at 30°C. They air dry or can be placed in the sunlight. Use a mild detergent to avoid damaging the natural fibre of your sheep wool slippers.
