They are Merino wool which I find isn't as warm as Sheepskin,also,I had this brand in outdoor boots and on certain types of footpath in the rain they were lethal,very slippy,I ended up complaining to Amazon and I returned them.

Not sure whether I'd risk slippers either tbh.

Good to know thanks.

I was going to order a pair of these and then I read some reviews about them on QVC's website. There are 8 pages of people were complaining that their Emu Jolie slippers were almost bald after just a few months! So I've decided not to waste my money, but thanks OP anyway.

Just received mine and they are lovely.

Nicely presented and will make a great gift.

Oops. Sorry.

If you have a look at the pictures of the inside of the Ukala slippers they look just as soft as the Emu ones - sheepskin is wool.

Nope. Sheepskin is well, er, sheep skin it's dual faced and has a completely different texture to wool lined cowhide or similar. They don't get as smelly, not as scratchy, dont make your feet sweat, and are much, much softer and more comfortable. Also sheepskin is much more flexible and 'gives' a lot. Suede/cowhide version don't and are generally much more rigid. It took me a while to work out the difference myself, but I'm a bit of a sheepskin boot addict, especially emu's.

Naughty people; you made me buy slippers and think about the winter, with nights by the fire!
