Felt Finesse: Covering the Bases of Felt Boots

Felt is a pressed wool—or occasionally another fine material– that becomes a smooth textile through the application of heat. Because of its soft feel and luxe appeal, felt is a great fabric for boots that will insulate your feet while making them stylish, too.

Felt can line your boots, cover their exterior or do double duty and make up the entire shoe. We’ll breakdown the bases so you can find the pair that’ll give your other shoes the boot.

Interior

Sleek on the outside, soft on the inside, a felt boot that brings the material to your shoe interior guarantees plushy comfort. Since boots aren’t always the most foot-welcoming footwear, you wouldn’t expect such supple but sturdy support. Try a leather constructed boot that’s full of felt so you can bring ease to your feet without sacrificing style.

Exterior

Some styles use the fabric only on the outside. Typically these pairs are worn in warmer weather because they don’t pack all the extra heat. You can reap their luxurious looking benefits all year long without jeopardizing the comfort status of your feet. Find these benefits in a smooth, suede workmen style boot or a taller, over-the knee silhouette.

Double Dose

If you can’t get enough of a felt fix with the other styles, find it in pairs that use the material both inside and out. This is more practical and essential for winter boots, so that you can maximize warmth with double layers of felt. Give into this style for toasty toes all season long.

Felt fixes any boot problem. The material improves comfort, warmth and style all in a compact shoe.

Felt boots make for the ultimate warm and cold weather shoes.
