Want something warmer than socks or slippers on your feet?
These Lilac Purple NZ Sheepskin and Wool Slipper Socks feel warmer than socks or slippers on the feet, due to the wool being pure wool and double thickness, and the sheepskin sole closely cradling the bottom of your foot.
The slipper socks are designed by ShopNZ and handmade for us in New Zealand. Warmer than socks, they are excellent for people with circulation problems or those who really feel the cold, and they are wonderful for wearing around the house in the wintertime. You can even wear them to bed!
The base of the slipper sock is New Zealand sheepskin, the hide on the outside and the wool fleece on the inside, so you get a hardwearing grippy sole and the cosiest of feet. The wool fleece is around 1' (2.5cm) thick.
The socks are made from 2 strands of 8-ply pure Australian wool, so are nice and thick. The wool is soft and non-scratchy.
And that purple colour is so attractive, we can't believe how good they look knitted up.
The Slipper Socks are available in all adult sizes. Our aim is to keep stock on hand at all times, but please allow a week for manufacture, just in case.
The slipper socks come with our usual 365-day money back guarantee. We are confident you won't want to return them though. Over the years we've had people buy a pair for themselves, then come back the next year to buy them for family, friends and colleagues.
Here is a customer's comment about their purchase:
Hi Lesley, those slipper socks were the absolute best presents I gave this year! They were so well received - all three pairs were immediately donned with oohs and ahhs - you couldn't imagine how happy they were. You really did a fantastic job on them. Thankyou! Bill B, USA, 3 Jan 2008

Shoe sizes can vary. So if you are unsure of yours, please get someone to measure the length of your foot while you stand on a measuring tape or ruler, against a wall.
The slipper socks extend up the leg about 19cm (7 1/2'), covering and keeping warm those all-important ankles.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: These lovely slipper socks are made for wearing around the house, preferably tucked up in a chair or on the sofa. They are not made to be worn outdoors.
CLEANING: The sheepskin fleece should only need a shake and an airing to keep it nice and fresh. But if necessary, you can handwash the whole sock in lukewarm water with a wool detergent. Do not soak. Just squeeze the suds through the sock, and then rinse well in cold water. Do not wring or rub. Squeeze the excess moisture out by wrapping the socks in a towel and standing on them. Dry in a warm spot away from direct heat. Easy!
