BaahBOOTS are an Ethical and Healthy Footwear
Wool fiber is a renewable, sustainable and 100% biodegradable resourse, which sheep love to give away! Sheep are shorn once or twice a year. Wool felt is a natural product - supposedly, the first felt was made by the hooves of the sheep on Noah's Arc, when their wool fell down on the floor. The process of making wool felt has a very low environmental impact - all you need is warm water and soap. Felt is a nonwoven fabric that is extremely durable and makes the best material for footwear - it is warm, hygenic, breathable and therapeutic, and, just like when sheep wear wool, it repels dirt!
BaahBOOTS are made of all natural sheep wool fiber that comes from local US family farms, where sheep are treated like pets. They are loved and cared for throughout their lives.
