Orders and delivery

Yes. As all ONAIE slippers are handmade in small batches rather than mass produced, some styles may be available on pre-order when demand is particularly high. This allows us to keep producing carefully made slippers while managing popular styles and limited stock.

UK delivery usually takes 2 to 4 working days. International delivery can take between 2 and 11 working days, depending on the destination. During particularly busy periods, delivery may take a little longer.

Choosing the right slippers

If you’re unsure which pair of slippers is right for you, find answers below about warmth, fit, materials, soles and choosing the best style for your feet and your home.

If you are specifically looking for slippers with a firm or sturdy sole, our Light Brown Slipper Boots are one of the best ONAIE styles to consider. Their firm sole makes them practical for everyday indoor wear and for briefly stepping outside to the garden, shed or bins in dry conditions. Our traditional handmade sheepskin slippers can also feel firm when new, although the natural materials soften and become more flexible with wear.

Slipper boots are the ONAIE style to choose if you want your slippers to cover your ankles. The higher shape provides more coverage than a traditional slipper or mule, making slipper boots particularly useful for cold feet, chilly homes and customers who simply prefer a more wrapped-up feel. ONAIE slipper boots are available in sheepskin, wool and felt styles.

Mule slippers are the easiest ONAIE style to slip on and off because they have an open back. They are a good choice if you want warm house slippers without having to pull anything over your heel or ankle. Our Amelia Sheepskin Mules and Lucky Dip Sheepskin Mules combine the easy slip-on shape with genuine sheepskin and natural wool.

For working from home, choose slippers that stay comfortable for long periods rather than something you only want to wear for an hour. ONAIE sheepskin, wool and felt slippers are made from breathable natural materials and are designed for everyday wear at home. If your home is cold, a wool-lined slipper boot gives extra warmth and ankle coverage, for example our Light Brown Slipper Boots. If you prefer something lighter, a wool-felt slipper is a good all-day option.

If your feet tend to get hot in slippers, look for breathable natural materials rather than heavy synthetic linings. Natural wool, wool felt and genuine sheepskin allow heat and moisture to move more easily around the foot. ONAIE felt slippers are a particularly good lightweight option, while genuine sheepskin provides warmth without trapping heat in the same way as many synthetic materials.

If you have narrow feet, ONAIE’s fitted ballerina-style felt slippers are usually the best place to start. Their closer shape helps hold the foot more securely and reduces excess space across the upper. Styles such as our Highlander and other fitted felt slippers are particularly worth considering if ordinary slippers often feel loose on your feet.

For wider feet, look for ONAIE slippers with a softer opening or a more relaxed shape rather than a very fitted ballerina style. Mule slippers can be a good option because the open-back design gives the foot more freedom, while natural wool and sheepskin also soften and mould with wear. If you have wide feet or are between sizes, you may find sizing up more comfortable.

For cold tiled, stone or wooden floors, choose slippers with plenty of natural insulation between your foot and the floor. ONAIE sheepskin slippers and wool-lined slipper boots are particularly good choices because natural wool helps retain warmth while remaining breathable. Our Light Brown Slipper Boots also have a firm sole, making them a practical option for customers who spend a lot of time on cold hard floors.

If keeping your feet warm is your main priority, start with ONAIE sheepskin slippers or wool-lined slipper boots. Slipper boots give extra coverage around the foot and ankle, while genuine sheepskin provides a thick natural lining that helps retain warmth without feeling like a synthetic fleece. Our Light Brown Slipper Boots are a popular choice for customers looking for warm slippers for colder homes and cold floors as they have a sturdy sole.

Sheepskin slippers use the natural hide with the wool attached, creating a thicker, plush lining that is especially good for warmth and cold feet. Wool and wool-felt slippers are generally lighter while still providing natural warmth and breathability. If you want maximum cosiness, choose sheepskin or a wool-lined slipper boot. If you prefer something lighter for everyday indoor wear, wool or felt slippers may suit you better.

ONAIE slippers are handmade using natural materials including genuine sheepskin, natural wool, wool felt, suede and leather, depending on the style. Our range includes warm sheepskin slippers, lightweight wool and felt slippers, slipper boots, mules and leather house slippers, so you can choose the material and level of warmth that suits you best.

Yes. ONAIE sheepskin slippers are made using genuine natural sheepskin and wool rather than faux fur. Our sheepskin is sourced as a by-product of the meat industry, helping to make use of material that already exists. Genuine sheepskin is naturally warm, soft and breathable and gradually moulds to the shape of your foot with wear.
