And quite frankly, we are rather happy about that. The \u003cstrong\u003eEl Naturalista HOME NA70\u003c\/strong\u003e is a warm, woolly slip-on for anyone who kicks off their shoes the moment they get home, but prefers not to shuffle around the house with cold feet afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unisex slipper is made from soft, mulesing-free wool and also features a fixed wool footbed. Warm, breathable, and cozy, without your feet ending up in a synthetic sauna. The adjustable buckle ensures the slipper stays securely on your foot, and thanks to the sturdy Softlight outsole with cork flecks, you can even pop outside in them. To the mailbox, the trash bin, the garden, or that one neighbor you need to pick up another package from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have the HOME NA70 in two colors: \u003cstrong\u003eOCEAN\u003c\/strong\u003e, a cool heathered dark blue, and \u003cstrong\u003eNATUREL\u003c\/strong\u003e, a calm heathered beige-brown tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy these wool slippers are so great\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoft wool upper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFixed premium wool footbed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMulesing-free wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUnisex model for men and women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComfort fit with room for your toes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable strap with metal buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFlat, minimalist sole without a heel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoftlight outsole with recycled cork flecks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for indoors and short trips outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e360° stitched construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in OCEAN and NATUREL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA slip-on that truly fits well\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wool slipper sounds wonderful, but you shouldn't have to spend half the day standing on the edge of the sole. That is precisely why we aren't very fond of many standard slip-on slippers. Your foot slides sideways, the sole stays behind, and before you know it, you are walking crookedly through the kitchen. Far from ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this HOME NA70, the wool upper wraps nicely around the foot, and the sole extends well under the full width. You can make the slip-on looser or tighter around the instep using the adjustable buckle. This helps it stay on your foot better than a completely open mule. Slip them on, adjust the buckle, and you're done. No \"slipper gymnastics\" required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor those who prefer a slip-on over a Glerups bootie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe remain huge fans of our Glerups, of course. Those wool booties hug your feet and ankles perfectly and are fantastic for those who are always cold. But not everyone wants to wear a closed bootie at home. Some people just want to be able to step into something quickly, without bending, pulling, or wriggling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, this El Naturalista is ideal. You still get the warmth and temperature-regulating properties of wool, but in an open slip-on model. Your heel remains free, and thanks to the buckle, you can adjust the fit. It’s not a replacement for Glerups, but a very nice addition for people who prefer wearing a slipper or clog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy wool is so pleasant on your feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool retains heat while simultaneously absorbing and releasing moisture. This keeps your feet comfortably warm without feeling clammy quickly. That makes wool very suitable for slippers: cozy in the winter, but often pleasant during cooler spring and autumn days as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool is mulesing-free. Mulesing is a painful procedure sometimes used on merino sheep to prevent flystrike. For these slippers, wool is used that has not undergone that treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin remains personal. Most people find the material comfortable, but every skin is different. Are you very sensitive to wool? Make sure to try them on with bare feet first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMinimalist and nice and roomy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a flat sole and a comfortable last that gives the foot space. It’s not for nothing that it says ‘Barefoot Minimalista’ on the footbed. Toes can lie next to each other more naturally, and the shoe has no raised heel to push your foot forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust don’t expect the paper-thin sole of an extreme barefoot shoe. This slipper has a practical outsole that protects your feet from cold tiles, small stones, and a wet garden path. It is primarily a roomy, flat, and flexible house slipper with a minimalist base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed to step outside? No problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slipper has a sturdy Softlight sole containing bits of cork. This outsole provides more protection and grip than a felt or leather slipper sole. You can safely wear them outside for a short walk around the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, they are wool slippers, not rain boots. Avoid deep puddles, prolonged rain, and soaked grass. The sole can handle outdoor use, but the wool upper is not waterproof. For a spontaneous walk in the woods, we would recommend putting on actual shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOCEAN or NATUREL?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOCEAN\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep, heathered blue-grey color. Cool, calm, and just a bit different from standard charcoal. A color that is very easy for both men and women to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNATUREL\u003c\/strong\u003e is a warm heathered beige-brown tone in which you can beautifully see the different wool fibers. Light, natural, and cozy without being \"sad beige.\" We were very careful about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMade with recycled components\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to El Naturalista, the HOME NA70 is built from \u003cstrong\u003e100% recycled, high-quality components\u003c\/strong\u003e. The upper and fixed footbed are made of wool, and the Softlight sole incorporates cork flecks. The sole and upper are joined all around with a 360° stitch construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA product made from recycled materials still has an impact, of course. Raw materials, energy, transport, and production are still required. The sustainable value here lies in reusing materials, the sturdy construction, and a design that you will likely wear every single day. Because let's be honest: few shoes clock as many miles between the sofa, the kitchen, and the front door as a good slipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a comfortable, fairly roomy last. The buckle over the instep is adjustable, so you can make the slip-on fit your foot better. When choosing your size, take into account the socks you want to wear with them. Thick wool socks naturally take up more room than bare feet or a thin sock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool footbed is not removable. If you use your own orthotic insoles, this model is likely less suitable. If you are in doubt about the size or have a high instep, please contact us or come try them on in Rotterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for wool slippers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, you don't need to wash wool very often. Let the slippers air out regularly and gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. Small stains can be treated locally with a slightly damp cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not put these slippers in the washing machine and do not submerge them in water. The combination of wool, the metal buckle, the seams, and the outsole does not enjoy a \"swimming lesson\" as much as you do. Always let damp slippers dry slowly at room temperature, and never place them on or against a heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista HOME NA70\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these slippers made of real wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The upper is made of wool and the slipper has a fixed premium wool footbed. The wool used is mulesing-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the slippers unisex?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the HOME NA70 is suitable for both women and men. Just choose the size and color that suit you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I go outside in them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Softlight outsole is suitable for short trips outside, for example to the mailbox, garden, or shed. The wool upper is not waterproof, so avoid rain and puddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I stand on the edge with this slipper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sole is wide and runs fully under the foot. Moreover, you can adjust the upper to your instep with the buckle, allowing the slip-on to stay on your foot better than many fully open slippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the footbed be removed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the premium wool footbed is fixed inside the slipper and is not removable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a barefoot slipper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a flat, roomy, and minimalist shape without a raised heel. The outsole does offer more protection than an extremely thin barefoot shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to wear socks with them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, you don't have to. Wool also feels pleasant against bare feet. If you are someone who is always cold, you can of course wear your wool socks with them. Warm plus warm is sometimes exactly the amount of warmth a person needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try them on in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to compare them with Glerups or know which size will stay on your foot best?
