Wool Bootie with Leather Sole - Dark Gray
Handmade by artisans in Nepal using traditional crafting techniques, Baabushka's superbly cozy felt booties are made with sheep’s wool, water, and organic soap. The result is soft yet durable footwear that provides wonderful warmth and comfort. The bootie conforms to the contours of your foot and comes up past your ankle, ensuring a comfortable fit that doesn’t slip off.
Felted wool naturally insulates, yet allows your skin to breathe, which means you can enjoy wearing your Baabushka booties year-round.
If you'd like to trek outdoors, we offer footwear with a sturdy natural rubber sole.
Find your size: Use this page to make sure the bootie perfectly fits your feet! Refer to the graphic below, or download a copy to print out.
Materials: Baabushka booties are made with 100% all-natural wool sourced from New Zealand and genuine buffalo leather from Nepal.
Care: Spot-clean the surface by hand with a damp cloth and allow them to air-dry in indirect light. Soaking the slippers, placing them in a washing machine or heated drying can cause the wool to shrink.
Please note: As with all handmade items using natural materials, each pair of booties can come with subtle variations.
Each Baabushka slipper or bootie is hand-made by skilled artisans in Nepal. Use this page to make sure the slipper they crafted for you perfectly fits your feet! Refer to the graphic below, or download a copy to print out.

United StatesDisappointed
I’m extremely disappointed in the quality of these slippers. I received these as a gift about 3 years ago, and they are getting holes in them around the heels and sides. With as much as they cost, I expected them to last a lot longer. I have been hand-cleaning them only, so why are they falling apart. Additionally, I’ve tried contacting the company twice regarding this, and they’ve yet to contact me back.
United StatesVery comfy and warm
I've had my slippers for about a week, and they are perfect and exactly what I was looking for! Cozy, comfy, soft, and great for running outside with my dog for potty breaks. They keep my ankles warm too. Thank you baabushka! (One thing to note, if you have higher volume feet, I went up a couple sizes, from 40-42, in order to be able to get them on, otherwise they were too tight where they pull over the top of my feet. They helped me with an easy exchange, and these are perfect)
United StatesExactly what I wanted
True to size, appears well made, easy to get on and off yet stays put on your foot.
United Statesfamily affair: I bought a pair of baabushkas for myself several years ago. My son noticed them and liked them when he visited me, so I bought him a pair for his 47th birthday this year. He is very happy with them, too.
Excellent. Very comfortable and they hold up well.
United StatesBoyfriend loves these
Wonderful! I wish I had gotten a pair for myself!
United StatesSo happy with my booties!
So great to buy a high quality product from a trusted small business that checks off all my needs. I’ve owned and loved a pair of these slippers and have wanted these booties and went for it! So glad that I did. I can’t believe that I’m looking forward to cooling temps! Thank you!

Love my new slippers. So cozy and warm. Made with care
United StatesBeyond Satisfied
Three years ago I was given the wool slippers as a gift. I kid you not, I have worn them nearly every single day since, and sometimes outside in the yard too. Probably more times in the yard than I want to own up to. I keep expecting to notice one day they are wearing out, but they're not, they've really been wonderful slippers that are comfortable, durable, and truly built to last! So, I too have given these slippers as a gifts... with similar raves! This year I got the booties...OMG! even better than the ones I already love, and with a little sleek fashion. Bottom line, my feet love these amazing quality products. Worth the price!!!
United StatesAmazing
I love them! Grateful for a minimalist and sustainable design
United StatesComfy!
I love these slippers, and got them to replace some well-worn locally made ones I had of a similar style. What drew me to them was the leather sole, which I hoped would reinforce the bottom and help me avoid the wear and tear my last pair had over a few years of use. Unfortunately, the stitching came loose almost immediately. I repaired it myself a few times during this past winter, but for the price, was pretty disappointed. I'm not sure if my repairs will hold up for another season. Aside from the stitching issue, these really are cozy, warm, and comfortable. Perfect for shuffling around the house in during the cooler PNW months. I'll just have to be (even more) easy on them this coming season.
United StatesSo comfortable.
I used the online size guide and the slippers fit perfectly. They are the most comfortable slippers I have worn.

I love the wool bootie, unfortunately they do not fit. I wear a size 9 shoe so I ordered the 8 1/2 - 9 size. They are to short and hurt my toes when I try to wear them for a period of time. I think they are sized more toward the 8 1/2 and not the 9.
United StatesSo comfy
I recently received my slippers and I am impressed with how comfy and how well constructed they appear. I am eager to put them to the test.
United StatesWarm and cozy
These felted booties are warm and cozy. I ordered my exact shoe size and I should have sized up to fit socked feet inside. These fit well with thin socks or tights.
United StatesJust right!
I've been a wool bootie fan for many years, so I know they will be comfy year round also naturally stink resistant. I had beloved pair from another maker that I purchased about 6 years ago. They actually are still in decent shape but I felt I deserved a new pair. Instead of buying ones from the same company, I decided to support baabusha. I really like Aga's business approach to support empowering Nepalese women's financial independence. I am now the proud and cozy owner of some booties made by Nisha (how cool is that!). Aga was also super helpful with getting me the right size. I found that I preferred these a little bigger, so exchanged for a larger size, which was a breeze.
United StatesIn love with your slippers!
Given that it’s currently July and I have the babushka slippers on as I write this, I’d say I’m mildly obsessed. They fit perfectly, they’re incredibly comfortable, and oddly keep my bare feet in them (again, it’s July) the perfect temperature. I put them on the minute I come in the door from work. Off go my heels and on go the babushkas, I’m home. I keep one pair by the door, another in my bedroom. They’re bizarrely awesome.
