Sheepskin has been used since ancient times to warm and care for the feet. Since sheepskin is one of the softest and finest materials nature has to offer. Shepherd of Sweden is inspired by nature, a family run firm who have been working with sheepskin for over 70 years, making sheepskin goods to an exceptional standard. They work out of their own factories in the UK and Europe, so they are able to ensure that everything is done in a socially responsible manner. A best-selling style, Shepherd's Annie is a beautifully soft and warm sheepskin slipper, with a luxurious suede upper and a glamorous gold leather heel. Shepherd Annie is a pair of sheepskin slippers that are a little higher than ankle-high. The slippers have decorative stitching on the outside. They have fabric binding and a tag on the back made from suede. The outer sole is made from EVA. Explanation of EVA and its benefits EVA is an abbreviation for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, which is a good material for shock absorption. This, in combination with its lightweight, makes it one of the market’s most used materials for outer soles. We recommend washing these gently by hand using a little warm water and soap. Allowed the slippers to dry naturally at room temperature. Annie by Shepherd of Sweden fits true to size and is made on European lasts.
