The lifespan of your slippers depends on how often they’re worn and how well they’re cared for. Onaie slippers are made from high-quality natural materials and, with proper care, can last for several years. We recommend replacing your slippers when they no longer provide adequate comfort or support, or if the soles show signs of significant wear. For your peace of mind, all Onaie slippers come with a 6-month warranty.

Slippers should not be too loose, as this can cause them to slip off your feet and may lead to discomfort or instability when walking. Onaie slippers are designed to fit snugly at first, especially those made from natural materials like sheepskin, which will gently stretch and mould to your feet over time. A well-fitting slipper should feel secure yet comfortable, offering support without being tight.

Slippers should feel snug but not tight when you first try them on. Onaie slippers, particularly those made from sheepskin, will naturally soften and mould to the shape of your feet with wear. A close fit ensures they stay securely on your feet without slipping, while still allowing room for comfort. If your slippers feel overly tight or restrictive, it’s best to try the next size up for a more relaxed fit.

Onaie sheepskin slippers are designed to gently mould to the shape of your feet over time, so we recommend choosing your standard shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, it’s advisable to size up for added comfort. For detailed guidance, please refer to our size guide here: Onaie Size Guide

Whether or not to wear socks with your slippers is entirely down to personal preference. Onaie slippers are made from natural materials like sheepskin and wool, which are soft against the skin and help regulate temperature, keeping your feet warm in winter and cool in summer, even without socks.

Not all Onaie slippers are suitable for outdoor use. Styles such as our Light Brown Slipper Boots and Heritage Slippers feature a durable hard sole, making them appropriate for light use outdoors. However, our standard sheepskin slippers are designed primarily for indoor wear, as their cowhide soles are soft and will naturally become more supple over time. To preserve their shape and longevity, we recommend wearing these styles indoors only.

We kindly advise against putting your Onaie slippers in the dryer, as the heat can shrink, warp, or otherwise damage the natural materials. For best results, please allow your slippers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or radiators.

Yes, Onaie slippers are made using natural materials such as sheepskin, wool, and cowhide, which are biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than synthetic alternatives. While they may not be recyclable through standard household recycling schemes, we encourage you to check with your local recycling centre for guidance on how best to dispose of natural materials. Alternatively, if your slippers are still in good condition, donating them to a charity shop is a thoughtful way to extend their life.

At Onaie, we believe your slippers deserve care as special as the craftsmanship behind them. Unlike other options on the market, our sheepskin slippers are handmade with the finest natural materials—so cleaning them requires a gentle touch. We recommend spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild detergent or specialist sheepskin cleaner. Never machine wash or soak them, as this can affect their natural texture. Let them air dry naturally, away from direct heat, and once dry, lightly brush the fleece to restore its softness. For full care tips, visit our guide: How to Clean Your Sheepskin Slippers.

Yes, Onaie sheepskin slippers are a comfortable choice for those with bunions. Made from natural materials, our slippers gently stretch and mould to the shape of your foot over time, offering a soft and accommodating fit. For customers with bunions, we recommend opting for our soft sheepskin styles rather than those made with firmer leather, to ensure the best comfort and flexibility.

We wouldn’t recommend putting your Onaie slippers in the washing machine, as this may cause damage to the natural materials and delicate stitching. Instead, we suggest spot-cleaning them gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to keep them looking their best.

We recommend avoiding full immersion in water or machine washing, as this can damage the natural materials and craftsmanship of your Onaie slippers.
