Wool slippers have stood the test of time to earn their reputation for warmth, comfort and durability. Wool naturally regulates temperature by absorbing moisture without feeling damp, keeping your feet warm in the cold and cool in the heat for wear all year long. At Ambler, we use a breathable and soft felted wool slipper upper paired with a full felt interior foot bed making for a comfy and cozy slipper that moulds to your feet perfectly. Our three classic styles range from a low-profile slipper that’s easy to slip on and off to a taller boot style offering additional warmth. All three provide long-lasting durability for indoor and even limited outdoor use. Our slippers are made by hand in Nepal with Fair Trade producers we’re proud to partner with. When you purchase a pair of Ambler wool slippers you can feel good about contributing to safe and sustainable employment in Nepal.
Our women’s and men’s slippers are known for their excellent quality, warmth and comfort. They have been designed to last and come in three different, classic styles. Our first slipper (and customer favourite), the Slocan, has a short profile making them easy to slip on and off, yet secure enough that you won’t shuffle out of them unintentionally.
Building upon this style we introduced the Carlyle wool felt slipper boot that features a higher profile for a warmer and more secure fit.
Our mule style Cassiar wool slipper is a low-profile slipper that’s easy to jump into.
All Ambler wool slippers are made with a single piece of felted wool to reduce the potential for wear and tear. The thick, felted base provides arch support and cushioning and is designed to mold to your feet for a perfect, custom fit.
To add the durability we’re famous for, the slipper is finished off with a thick leather soul. The minimalist style also reduces the amount of stitching making for a smoother, more comfortable slipper. Our neutral colour options and universal sizing make our slippers a great option for anyone.
Ambler's wool slippers are handmade in Nepal from processing raw wool into felt and carefully stitching together your favourite slipper to ensure the highest quality. We believe in our women’s and men’s slippers so much we guarantee them for life. Designed for the adventurer, our wool slippers are for wherever you wander.
Everything we do at Ambler is to make a difference in the lives of the people we work with - from the makers to the wearers. We have been working with the same company in Nepal since 2003 to make our handmade toques, and in 2016 we started working with them to create our first collection of our Fair Trade Certified wool slippers.
Apparel workers are among the lowest-paid employees in the world because of poor social standards. The lack of regulation in place can lead to unsafe working conditions, long hours and job discrimination. Our partnership provides safe and sustainable employment for people in Nepal. That is why we spin and dye our wool in Nepal instead of importing finished yarn and felt from other countries. The more employment opportunities we can provide means a greater benefit for the economy as a whole.
We believe that as a small business and family we can make a big impact through the choices we make in how and where we produce our products.
Our felted-wool slippers are made to stretch and fit your feet perfectly. They may feel a little tight for the first couple weeks of wear, but will soon mold to your feet for maximum comfort. If you find yourself in between sizes, we recommend sizing down to avoid the dreaded loose slipper shuffle.
