Wool is a natural and renewable textile, a breathable and elastic material that also regulates temperature. So it makes perfect sense to use it in shoe making, right? Thankfully, a Swiss startup already though about this, and they came up with the homey Baabuk Urban Wooler Sneaker. ($105)
Crafted with no seams or stitches, these sneakers are very comfortable ( believe us- we’ve got a pair ) and super-light. They are also water-repelling and insulating, which means your feet will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Even better, because wool is soft and naturally antibacterial, the shoes can be worn without socks, without having to worry about blisters or funky smells. Plus, when your Baabuks get dirty, you can just throw them in the washing machine for a clean, fresh pair. The Urban Wooler comes in a variety of colors and promises to make a “huge change in the life of your feet.” We’re fans already.
