Frequently asked questions
Are your boiled-wool accessories made in Berlin?
Yes. Our little shoes and gloves are lovingly made in our Berlin workshop. We use high-quality boiled wool to create durable favorite pieces for many autumn and winter adventures.
What clothing goes well with boiled-wool booties and mittens?
They are the perfect complement to our boiled-wool coveralls, boiled-wool jackets, and pull-on hats. Combined with a suitable base layer and warm layer, they create a fully protective winter outfit using the layering principle.
How do I care for boiled-wool accessories?
Often, it is enough to air out the accessories or gently brush them. They should only be washed when necessary, according to the care instructions.
Are boiled-wool mittens and booties waterproof?
No. Boiled wool is slightly water-repellent but not waterproof. For extended periods in wet snow or heavy rain, we recommend additional protection against moisture.
What does my baby wear under wool-walk booties?
Depending on the temperature, thin cotton or wool socks are usually sufficient. The boiled-wool booties then provide additional warmth.
Why is boiled wool suitable for mittens and booties?
Wool fleece keeps you pleasantly warm, is breathable, and offers light wind and water resistance. This keeps hands and feet protected without causing heat to build up.
When does my baby need gloves?
On cool autumn and winter days, gloves protect against wind and cold—especially in the stroller, baby carrier, or during those first adventures outdoors.
Does a baby need hard-soled shoes?
No. Babies who are not yet walking generally do not need rigid shoes. Soft booties protect against the cold while still allowing the feet plenty of freedom of movement.
From what age are boiled-wool booties useful?
As soon as your baby is out and about in a stroller, carrier, or sling. They keep little feet warm and are a soft alternative to rigid shoes.
Do babies need mittens and booties?
Yes. Babies’ hands and feet cool down quickly in particular. Warm mittens and booties help retain body heat and ensure comfortable warmth during walks or outings.
