Info

These slippers have been a customer favourite since we started stocking them 6 years  ago. 

 

Made with pure New Zealand wool. Dyed and crocheted by hand in Canada and fitted with a soft cosy sheepskin lining and tough leather soles for long lasting comfort. These slippers have the elasticity to mould to the child's feet without being constrictive. Can be worn either inside or outside the home. Machine washable on a wool wash.

 

Buy the size that the child is now and they will stretch as their feet grow into the next size.

They're also really hard-wearing and my daughter's early pairs have been passed down through a few families!”

“i really like them!”

“Received these as a baby gift for my daughter 3 years ago - they were perfect for winter when socks weren't enough and she was still far too small for shoes. She lived in them and I can't tell you how many times I was stopped by strangers and asked where I had got them from. She's had a pair every year since, worn as slippers, and she loves them. They make a great, unusual and above all, useful baby gift.”

Padraig Cottage Slippers
Quite possibly the cosiest things in the world, and they seem to last for ever.... 

Brilliant if you carry your child in a sling as they don't fall off easily and keep them toasty warm in the cold weather.

Amazing booties
We are on our second pair of Padraigs now because they are so gorgeous. My daughter was bought a pair as a new born gift & when she grew out of theses I had to get a new pair for winter 2012. The booties do grow with  more your baby and will last as they only get more adorable with wear. I plan to buy many more pairs as gifts for expectant friends.

Lovely warm comfy slippers
Perfect for keeping baby's feet warm and cosy. I'm using the slippers as first shoes as feel that they are more flexible than a standard shoe so better for baby's feet. Lovely and jolly too.

Slippers
I bought the slippers for My Grand Daughter on the recommendation of a friend. They are simply lovely, warm and more importantly stay on
little ones feet as most others do not.
Very very pleased with quality and I am  more sure she will spend happy hours in them.
