When temperatures drop in autumn and winter, your feet long for warmth and comfort. Warm slippers are much more than just a practical accessory; they offer you real comfort at home and transform cold feet into cosy warm ones.

There is a wide range of slippers to choose from: from ankle-high hut shoes to open slippers and closed comfort models. Each type has its own advantages, depending on how you move around at home and what is important to you. In this article, we will introduce you to different types of slippers and help you find the right model for your needs.

Ankle-high hut shoes: warmth up to the ankle

For adults: Kramsach

Hut shoes are the ideal choice if you want your feet to be particularly warm. The Kramsach is the original hut shoe made from 100% virgin wool and has been delighting customers with its comfort since 1974.

What makes this slipper special? The knitted ribbed cuff at the ankle provides a comfortable fit, while the reinforced wool heel offers additional stability. The patented rubber sole is non-slip and flexible enough to give you a natural barefoot feeling. The Kramsach is available in various colour combinations and is easy to slip on and off thanks to the elasticated cuff.

The merino wool regulates the temperature and ensures a comfortable foot climate – your feet stay warm without sweating. With its even heat distribution and carefree lightness, this slipper maximises comfort on cold days.

For the little ones: Kramsach Kids

The classic hut shoe is also available for children's feet in various colour combinations. The Kramsach Kids offers the same impressive features as the adult model: the soft, non-slip rubber sole gives the feeling of walking barefoot, while the knitted cuff makes them easy to slip on and off. Thanks to their bright colours, these slippers are real eye-catchers – children will love them and won't want to take them off.

Warm slippers: simple and comfortable

Dannheim – the timeless classic

Slippers are simple companions for all seasons. The Dannheim is an absolute classic and offers you an incomparable feel-good experience with a barefoot feel.

This wool slipper has a simple cut and is made of premium wool fabric with a mottled look. The fulled virgin wool ensures a healthy foot climate and keeps your feet cosily warm. At the same time, the Dannheim is non-slip, lightweight and flexible – exactly what you would expect from the perfect slipper. The patented rubber outsole provides good grip and is pleasantly quiet.

As the slippers are open at the heel, you can slip them on and off quickly – without using your hands. If you like to take your slippers off briefly to sit on the sofa or go out into the garden, these elegant felt slippers are the best choice. They have been delighting generations with their high level of comfort.

Closed slippers with extra comfort

Vent – the popular slipper for all activities

Closed slippers are perfect if you're on the move a lot at home. The particularly popular Vent slipper is easy to put on thanks to its tab and protects against the cold all round.

What sets this slipper apart: the innovative sole and removable footbed made of virgin wool support your foot and make walking more comfortable. The Vent is ideal for relaxing indoors, sitting comfortably on the patio or balcony, and walking safely to the basement – simply for all activities at home.

The higher edge and closed shape mean that the slipper fits snugly on your foot, preventing you from slipping out easily. The unique combination of premium wool fabrics and sole technology guarantees stability and lightness. Breathable and light on the foot, the Vent offers safety and comfort, while the merino wool provides cosy warmth.

Slippers for little feet

Türnberg – the classic for children

The Türnberg is the classic among children's slippers. This model is light and comfortable to wear, and the elasticated band ensures a secure fit and makes them easy to put on and take off – ideal for little, independent feet.

The soft rubber sole is non-slip, lightweight and flexible, allowing children to enjoy a natural barefoot feeling. The merino wool keeps children's feet cosy and warm while wicking away moisture, ensuring a comfortable foot climate.

A practical advantage: if the slipper gets dirty, you can easily wash it in the washing machine at 30°C. Leave it to dry in the air – and it's ready to use again.

Easy to care for and barefoot-friendly

A big advantage of our merino wool slippers is that you can wear them barefoot without your feet getting sweaty or cold. The temperature-regulating properties of wool ensure a comfortable climate inside the shoe at all times.

If your slippers do get dirty, most models can be washed in the washing machine at 30 degrees. Simply leave them to air dry – and they'll be ready to wear again in no time.
