Shoe maintenance - Wool shoesFunctions
100 % natural: Bærekraftig ull
Wool isn’t only about its technical advantages; it’s also a great choice for the environment. Wool has a long life and is 100% natural, renewable and biologically degradable. The wool we use has the EU ecological badge, which means it’s a good choice for health and the environment.
Outstanding quality: Premium norsk ull
Norwegian wool is clean, versatile and very high quality. It is known for its durability, elasticity and shine which provides beautiful textiles. Wool is naturally breathable, water repellant and insulating.
Woven wool: Vevet ull
Wool is extremely elastic and durable. Woven fibres are even more wear-resistant that felted wool. Norwegian wool is thick, resilient and robust, which makes it appropriate for weaving, and a good textile choice for products that require solid materials, such as shoes.
