Help me replace these!

I got these slippers in winter 2016 and I've loved them ever since... but it's time for a replacement pair. The shearling inner has just gone too flat now, and I've noticed my feet starting to hurt a bit without the support.

But I cannot for the life of me find a pair that are similar.

They're low booties - finish just above the ankle (which I really like), and have a slightly rubberised sole so I can wear them outside if I need to. Soft shearling all the way inside, and a lovely soft suede-ish outer.

They're just perfect - but I cannot for the life of me remember where I bought them and it's driving me nuts!

Has anyone seen their potential replacements anywhere? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Celtic and co - These are men's but pretty similar to yours.

Yep was going to say Celtic and Co.

Before you throw them out you could try putting them in the washing machine and the dryer. I did that with a celtic sheepskin pair and they came out surprisingly well. The wool fluffed up a lot. You've got nothing to lose.

@MoltonSilver would that work if I don't have a dryer?

I live in a nice hot place so they could sit out in the sunshine to dry but I wonder if they'd need a good tumble for the fluffing....

What do you think?

Got my hopes right up now Grin

@CatBatCat and @Ninkanink the Celtic website does have some lovely looking ones –I'd never heard of them before, so thank you!

sorry, don't know how to do clicky links. I've had shepherd boots before, great quality

I washed mine in the washing machine on cold. Then dried on a radiator. Don’t tumble them! I then cut insoles from a sheepskin rug I had! They are as good as new now. If you don’t have a spare bit of sheepskin you can buy sheepskin insoles from Amazon or a store online www.celticandco.com/womens/footwear/care-cleaning-products/sheepskin-insole
You may be able to take the old insole out (as I did) to replace it. I saved £60 as that’s how much a new pair would have cost !
