Description
<p>The Baabuk Mel Slippers are made in Nepal from the natural products wool felt and latex. With wool's natural properties of heat retention and moisture management, the closed-construction, comfortable slippers with their slip-resistant latex soles are very comfortable to wear. The longer you wear them, the better their shape adapts to your individual foot shape. Other advantages of wool such as natural antibacterial effect against odour, perfect recyclability or even complete biodegradability are already convincing arguments. </p><p>Plus, the Swiss company is B-Corp certified, which means, for example, standards for social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency apply.</p><p>The wool used for Baabuk slippers comes from New Zealand and is obtained from sheep for whose animal welfare the company is committed. The soft cushioning insole is also made from this material. The processing takes place according to traditional methods by hand in Nepal - here, too, the family-owned company guarantees fair wages, a high proportion of women among the employees and that no child labor takes place.</p><p>Also, the raw material for the latex soles and the glue used is 100% natural and renewable, because it is obtained from rubber trees.</p><p><br></p>
