Kyrgies
Have you ever thought about where your footwear comes from? How the materials were made and the people behind the label who work to construct the shoes? The guys at Kyrgies certainly have. From field to foot, the founders of Kyrgies have sustainability and direct community impact built into everything they do. Steve Anderson and Barclay Saul don’t only talk the talk when it comes to transparency in the supply chain, they walk the walk - literally! Their ethical slipper collection starts with a tradition that is over 1,000 years old - Kyrgyz felting. The slippers are produced in Bishkek, Kyrgystan, where wet felting with local sheep's wool has been a staple craft for centuries. Workers and families pass this skill on from one generation to the next and these slippers are one way they celebrate wool and preserve cultural heritage.

I love these slippers! They still look like new even though I wear them ALL the time. I ordered my normal size and wear them barefoot and find them to be perfect! They do wear differently from shoes in that there is more room for air to circulate inside. That way, my feet stay warm but not too warm. They are not scratchy on my feet and I can walk normally without dragging like some slippers. It feels so good to be wearing natural materials made by hand!! Highly recommend!

I love that these are from Kyrgyzstan, providing environmentally sustainable employment for local workers. And I love how warm they are. They are shorter and wider than US sizing. I am a woman size 8 normally, but my toes touch the tip of the 8.5/9 slippers, and socks are needed to keep them on my feet due to the width. That said they are comfy, warm, and authentic. Just size up and choose another slipper if you have narrow feet.

I bought these as I always have cold feet. They’re nice and toasty! Definitely size up. I’m normally a 9 – 9.5 women’s and I got the 9.5-10 size… they’re snug but fit perfectly!

I was excited to try these because they check a lot of boxes for things I wanted in a new pair of slippers. I typically wear a women’s 8.5, but have a long narrow foot so sometimes 9 is more appropriate. I ordered the women’s 8.5-9/men’s 6.5-7, which was stamped with euro 39.
My toes were at the end so I ordered the next size up but kept the original pair (giving to a friend with smaller feet). There’s barely a difference in size between the 39s and 40s. Holding them next to each other, they look nearly identical.
My toes also touched the end of that pair, but I decided to keep them and see if they stretch. I have been wearing them pretty consistently through the day while at my work from home standing desk. I don’t notice my toes touching the ends as much so I think they are stretching/breaking in.
These aren’t plush, cushioned slippers and they don’t have a lot of support so I would recommend something else if that’s what you want. However, if you want warm slippers that don’t make your feet sweat, these are a good option. I also like that the suede sole is not loud on floors like some other slipper soles (and isn’t slippery so far).

I am buying my husband a pair soon! My feet will never be cold again! Only thing I wish was different was that the sole of the shoes was a bit more resistant to wear but it just motivates me to care for them more intently.

These are the perfect slippers- very temperature controlling. Love how it feels with or without socks. Fits on the wider side. I am a true 8.5 and ordered women’s 8.5-9 and there’s plenty of room even with socks on.

I love these slippers! I wear a 7.5 and the 7.5-8 are perfect. They are warm and comfortable and I love the way they look.

The slippers are really nicely made, but I was disappointed that they were too small. They are marked with European size numbers, but the website does not indicate that. If I had known the European size, I would have ordered the next size up. Earthhero could not process a simple exchange, so I will have to order the next size up.

Hi Susan! We are so sorry that the original sizing of the slippers did not work out and that our exchange process was not as easy as you’d hoped. We’ve found that the fastest way to get the correct item is to process a return for the original and then order the correct size. Please reach out to us at hello@earthhero.com if we can help out more or with any questions regarding sizing!

I just got mine and I truly love them they are beautiful they are exactly what I wanted…….but they run small I am a size 8 so I purchased the 8 1/2 x 9 and my heel comes right to the edge on the back. No room for anything else so they do run small. Now unless you like snug slippers then these are perfect. I live mine as i do not wear socks but they do fit .

Hello! I just recieved my first pair and I love them! But I do wonder if they are supposed to fit super snug to my feet or be a bit spacious like these are? (specially in the back)I got my own actual size. Thank you again!

Hi Nora! We’re stoked that you have a pair of Kyrgies! They can fit snugly or loosely, depending on personal preference. More space provides room for socks if you choose! If you need to exchange for a smaller size, we’re here to help at hello@earthhero.com 🙂

Do the bottoms of these have any tread at all to provide grip on hard floors?

Hi Sara! These slippers have a soft, flat sole. The leather suede sole provides grip to keep you from slipping, but there are no treads like an outdoor shoe would have!

My typical shoe size is 8.5. I have wide feet. Do you recommend I get a size 7.5/8, or 8.5/9 ?!

They are as described, except that they are even more beautiful than their photo. I bought them for my son, but I couldn’t part with them myself. I guess I will have to order another pair. 🙂

Comfy and durable slippers. They are gorgeously made and the outer souls are awesome if you use your house shoes anywhere out of the house.

Trying to change size to women’s 7. Can’t get it to change to that. Also since they are not made in US are the sizes the same? Also how long fromplacing order to receiving oroduct?

EarthHero –
Hi Valerie! Looks like we are out of size 7 at the moment, but we’ll have more soon! The dropdown menu portrays normal U.S. sizing, but it may be helpful to note that these slippers run a little bit wide. As for shipping, when ordering on a weekday before 3 pm MST, these will ship same-day from Colorado. Depending on where you live, you could receive them in as little as 3 days. 🙂
