Women's Sheepskin Mules

Mules with sheepskin – open elegance for the home

Sheepskin mules for women bring together two qualities that rarely meet: the lightness of an open-back slipper and the warmth of real sheepskin. Slip in, settle down – on the way to the coffee machine in the morning just as much as on the sofa at night. At Hollert every pair is carefully made by hand from fine natural materials.

Open-back mule or closed slipper?

The mule is the most straightforward slipper of all: no bending down, nothing pressing at the heel, simply glide in. Because the heel stays free, less warmth builds up – which makes the open shape interesting for well-heated flats and for the milder months, when closed slippers quickly become too warm. The closed slipper plays to its strengths on frosty days and on cool floors, because it wraps the heel as well. If you move between rooms a lot, the mule is usually the easier choice.

Why the fleece makes the difference

The soft fleece wraps around toes and ball of the foot and works in two directions at once: the crimped fibre traps air and stores warmth, while it also absorbs moisture and releases it outwards. The climate around the foot therefore stays dry rather than clammy, and the mule remains comfortable for far longer than an hour. The selection is kept in restrained natural tones; as a natural product every skin shows a slightly different marking, and no pair is exactly like another. The mules are available across the usual women's sizes.

Stylish through the day

Worn with comfortable trousers or a house dress: a mule lined with fleece looks more polished than the classic scuff and is just as comfortable – and as a gift it works for everyone who does not want to separate elegance from wellbeing. Closed alternatives are gathered in our overview of sheepskin slippers for women, and the complete range for women and men is under sheepskin slippers.

Keeping the fleece beautiful

Open slippers air out well on their own – brushing them through in the direction of the pile occasionally and keeping them from prolonged damp is usually enough. That keeps a pair soft and dense over several winters. For more tips see our guide cleaning and caring for sheepskin.
