How are they made? To make a pair of Egos slippers takes time and requires skills. One worker can produce 2 pairs of shoes a day. The raw wool is dyed with environmentally friendly colours. Then the wool is mapped, and the work on the shape of the shoe can begin. The carded wool is formed. Seawater masks into the wool, causing the small fibres in the wool to cling.  The wet felt shoe is then dried under the sun. Then add another insole of felt so the shoe becomes extra comfortable. The outer suede sole is finally sewn on. How to care for your slippers To keep your egos slippers clean, we recommend that you vacuum them regularly to remove dust. You can also gently clean stains by using a slightly wet cloth and a mild wool soap. Repeat the process a few times as needed, making sure the shoes dry completely between cleanings. After washing, while the shoes are still wet, it's a good idea to put them on so they can mold perfectly to your foot again. Then take them off and leave them to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Rubber soles can be wiped with a wet cloth and need time to dry after cleaning. If your shoes have suede soles, these can be brushed and cleaned with a leather brush. Be aware that natural rubber or leather soles can become slippery on wet and icy surfaces such as tiles or outdoor tiles. Please note that color differences may occur from production to production due to the natural wool.

About the maker

egos Copenhagen

egos Copenhagen turns a simple comfort into considered design. Its felt slippers are designed in Denmark and shaped by hand in Nepal, where makers use a longstanding felting tradition to transform natural New Zealand wool into soft, sturdy footwear.

The wool's warmth and breathability make these slippers easy to live in, while the restrained shapes and lively colors give them a distinctly Scandinavian feel. The brand's close relationship with its makers is part of the story of every pair.

Danish Windmill · A shop with a story

Troll testimony

Lots of History and Small Town Charm

“A beautiful, authentic working Danish windmill. I learned not every windmill is the same. Lots of history to learn. Very cool to tour the inside and learn about how it was transported from Denmark. You can tour the inside the windmill and walk up a few floors even walk outside on the catwalk around the windmill. The grounds are well kept and feature a neat Viking house replica. A tiny church. A wooden troll and gnome home. A great gift shop full of Danish imports. I liked that the gift shop had a variety of pamphlets of other interesting things to do around the area.”

Warm and Cozy

“Shopping at the windmill is always an adventure! I always know I'm going to find more than what I came for and their selection is always fresh with new items to bring home. They always have this ability to bring coziness and warmth into my home. I bought this ceramic house and had so much fun painting it. Now it glows in my living room every night! ”
