Description
Why is wool great for insoles?
There are LOTS of reasons! In fact, we think wool is one of the best materials for insoles because it really is functional. Here are a few some of wool’s unique qualities that make it the perfect material to use for insoles:
- Odour resistant – this is one of the main reason’s wool is so brilliant for insoles. In fact, better than most manmade material insoles. As you may already know, human sweat does not actually smell. It is the bacteria that develops over time in our clothes or shoes that causes body odour. Wool naturally absorbs and locks way odours during wear. The wool fibre actively binds odours within its fibre where bacteria do not thrive. As a result, the garment remains fresher for longer. Clever hey?
- Naturally breathable – wool has a unique structure that allows it to absorb and release moisture (such as sweat) without affecting its thermal efficiency. I can absorb up to 30 per cent of its own weight, even when next to skin.
- Extra warm – thanks to wool’s hygroscopic abilities these insoles will help to keep your feet nice and warm. That is also why wool works so well for our 100% Sheep’s Wool Insulation!
- Hypoallergenic – wool is resistant to bacteria that can trigger skin irritations in some people.
- ‘Bouncy’ – the insoles are 10mm thick so add a great bit of comfort and bounce!
- Completely natural – our insoles are made of 100% Herdwick Sheep’s wool from Cumbria that we collect during our Operation Wool project every year.
- Sustainable – wool is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet because it is totally renewable thanks all the lovely sheep we have in the UK.
- Compostable after their long life – these insoles should last you a good few years but, like all good things, they must come to an end. BUT the insoles are made with 100% wool, they are fully compostable! Hooray!

What shoes can I use these wool insoles for?
They are suitable for all shoes really, but we love using our insoles in walking boots, winter boots, wellingtons, gardening shoes and our slippers!
What size insoles do I need?
Our wool insoles come in two different sizes: a smaller size (UK shoe size 4-8) and a larger size (UK shoe size 9-12). Both are 10mm thick.
With everyone’s feet being different shapes and sizes, we have designed the insoles so that you can measure them to fit your own feet. To get the best fit, take the insole out of the boot or shoe you are planning to fit the wool insoles into. Use this as a template to cut your new (and much comfier!) wool insole and tadaah! Cosy, fresh smelling insoles that will fit perfectly in your shoe. After some wear, the insoles will compress down and mould to the exact shape of your foot.

Was ordering other items, tagged these on as very cheap compared to wool insoles I’ve bought elsewhere. These are thick insoles that will bed down to the shape of your feet with wear, just trim to fit your shoe. As another reviewer has noted, it’d be great if these came plastic-free, (without plastic packaging) as part of the draw is that they’re compostable at end-of-life. As it is, they’re not quite zero-waste.

This is my second order of welly-transforming insoles! I finally wore the first pair out, after three years hard daily tramping!

I bought lots of these insoles for gifts last Christmas and directed each recipient to this brilliant website. They’re now wearing them in wellies and walking boots. We have parquet flooring, which looks lovely but is cold, so I buy slippers a half size bigger and slip these insoles inside them. Sorted.
Norma Jack –
Bought 3 pair for my hubby. He’s on blood thinning pills and has very cold feet and hands. Says these sheep insoles are cosy and comfortable. Feet never been cold since I gave him them. Saw an advert in my woman or womans weekly magazine for them.
Julie Cooper –
Put in my wellies and they have transformed my wellies into warm and cosy boots.
Denise Corder –
Very happy recipients of these insoles. They do exactly as advertised. Will be buying more for other friends and family.
Caroline M –
The insoles are so cosy, warm and comfortable. I’m glad I bought two pairs and I’ll buy more as gifts. It’s really great to be supporting such a lovely UK business, and I wonder if you’d consider branching out into making knitwear?! UK wool seems quite an under-utilised resource.
Sally Phillips –
Hi Caroline, thank you so much for your lovely review. We don’t currently have any plans to venture into knitwear but never say never!
Jen Jones –
These inner soles are fabulous. To find out how good, just buy some! My brother and I were given pairs as Christmas gifts. I put them in my wellies and I realised that I just had to order another pair for my walking boots. Wonderful.
Jackie Penson –
These are just so comfortable for my ancient 76 year old feet. I use them in my walking boots and have just received two more pairs for more of my shoes. Easily trimmed to size and I have never had such comfortable and warm feet, in spite of trying many other types. Thank you all.
Sally –
These are good quality and comfortable. Delivery was efficient. Highly recommended
