The cottage slipper has established itself as a slipper classic for decades - even away from alpine regions. No wonder, because it can be put on easily and quickly and offers a perfect fit on the foot up to over the ankles due to its design. Gottstein makes it from extra-thick whalecloth, which, like the wide ribbed knitted cuff, is made of pure new wool - which ensures a pleasant foot climate. Because the shoe is worked on a last without a disturbing center seam and pulled into shape, it has excellent wearing comfort. In addition, it is equipped with a non-slip and waterproof outsole made of felt and latex, which makes the shoe suitable for short walks outside and on the terrace.

Gottstein in Imst is a traditional Tyrolean company that has been renowned for woollens and felt goods of the highest quality since 1926. In all production stages, the intensive examination of the product is essential for the third-generation family business, starting with the felting process. Gottstein uses crystal-clear Tyrolean mountain water when painstakingly matting, condensing and pressing the wool – without any additives – to form a resistant felt mesh. The slippers, precisely shaped to the anatomy of the human foot, feature upper parts made from felt and, depending on the model, a sole made of leather or natural latex. Gottstein chooses rich leather that becomes even more beautiful when worn. Natural latex, easy to shape and very durable, is elastic and water-repellent, yet breathable. Gottstein has the latex outsoles made in a patented process by a long-standing latex specialist. The result is first-class slippers that are a pleasure to wear – and for a long time.
