Meet Bear Soles: Stay cozy and warm this winter

The Problem

The sole of your foot has over 200,000 nerve endings in it, one of the highest concentrations anywhere in the body. And in the winter, the ground can be up to 10 degrees colder than air temperature.

Keeping your feet warm has the highest impact on keeping the rest of your body warm.

The Solution

Adding a sheepskin layer to the bottom of your shoes works much like the insulation you may find in your home. Cold air is kept out. A microclimate is created around your skin that retains the body’s natural temperature. When designing Bear Soles, we made sure that no detail went unnoticed. 

In addition to using the finest natural wool for warmth, we also focused on creating support and durability.

It’s made of natural, fine grain, Australian sheepskin. One of the softest and most indulgent available on the market today.

Easy to Use - It's simple: Bear Soles are inserted into the shoe, replacing your current shoe insoles. Bear Soles fit best in boots and most casual footwear with removable insoles.

Natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal - This material is able to naturally repel the growth of fungus and bacteria and promote a healthy environment in your shoes.

Temperature Regulating - Sheepskin is an amazing material with temperature regulating properties. This means that your feet will stay warm in cold weather and won't overheat while indoors.

Shock Absorbing - Bear Soles are durable and shock absorbing. Our proprietary foams help to disperse harmful vibrations that are commonly experienced when walking on hard surfaces.

Arch support - Bear Soles also have a supportive, contoured design. Which means they’re engineered to help with things like posture, alignment and arch support. They help with over-pronation which is the leading cause of plantar fasciitis.

Grooved Base Design - Helps to keep Bear Soles stable inside your shoes.

Cleaning Bear Soles

If you see your Bear Soles beginning to get dirty, simply remove them from your shoes and treat the wool with a brush or comb. You can also use a spray bottle to put on a light application of water before brushing the fur. Bear Soles are very easy to clean.

Sustainability: Thoughtful Design, Materials & Process

At Bear Soles we have a commitment to animal welfare. We only source sheepskin from farmers that raise sheep in an ethical and humane way. We're also using recycled rubber foam and sustainably harvested natural cork. We tracked the origins of our materials and found farmers and manufacturers with integrity.

All orders will ship in January & February 2017!
