URBAN WOOLER SNEAKERS

Hundreds of years ago, when shepherds had no escape from wild weather, they were forced to find a material that would keep their feet comfy. Using the resources they had around them (namely the sheep!), they discovered that if they weaved wool tightly it would create a shoe with amazing protection. That’s how “burel” came about.

We’ve been completely inspired by these shepherds and this heritage material to create our sneakers. The wool is locally sourced and crafted into the sneakers you know and love by highly skilled artisans on antique machines, with histories as impressive as the material they create.

Keeping your feet super comfortable, regulating your temperature with a soft merino lining, and built durably, Urban Woolers truly are magical. And in true Baabuk style, what you gain in practicality, comfort, and sustainability, you never lose in style. With a low top design, these sneakers will elevate your street style and are extra streamlined for warmer weather – keeping your feet comfy in whatever season you embrace.

Natural wool

With a natural wool upper, these sneakers are durable, flexible and water repellent on the outside. A soft merino lining makes them irresistibly cosy, and completely itch-free inside. No matter the season, or the weather, the wool’s natural moisture-wicking and breathable properties will always keep your feet comfortable.

I really love my Baabuk Urban Woolers
I really love my Baabuk Urban Woolers. They are very well made and comfortable. I especially love that they are made with natural latex and wool, and are made in Portugal. I feel like I can trust Baabuk to be making good labor and environmental choices.

Discoer the real wool feeling of BAABUK
I was introduced to the innovative wool products of BAABUK like Sneakers, Urban Woolers and Slippers by the very sympathic couple behind the brand on a Pop-up Store Festival and later on Blickfang. Since then I buy BAABUK products on a regular basis, especially when products with new and favourite colours arrive! Since the early days the quality of the products is excellent but the team around BAABUK is still trying to improve the shoes, constantly searching for new ideas. Thank you and go on as wooly as you are!

Simply; Brilliant!
I simply cannot think of wearing anything else now that I have visited the Baabuk world. So comfortable, rather like wearing cosy jumpers on your feet! The Urban woolers started me off. If it’s possible to wear them too much, I probably have. My endlessly cold feet are perfectly temperature controlled and don’t fluctuate with varying degrees indoors/outdoors.

I traveled the world in my Baabuks!
I have worn my Baabuk Urban Woolers across the world, literally! I am asked about them most places I go and receive many compliments on their style and look. That’s all great but the best part is the comfort, fit and durability. I love my Baabuks.

Pflege-FAQ

Baabuk sneakers & shoes are conveniently machine washable. We recommend using a wool detergent and the preset "wool", or washing at 30° C / 90° F on a gentle cycle. Insoles can be removed during washing. And make sure to air dry - do not use the dryer.

Wool is naturally water repellent, thanks to the natural waxy coating on its fibres. This means stains and spills will be less likely to affect the fabric. But do note, they aren’t completely waterproof, so will be less effective in heavier rain or deep puddles.

If your Baabuk sneakers have gotten wet, simply remove them, and dry at room temperature. Avoid putting them in a dryer. Wool doesn’t get damaged by water and won’t shrink, as the raw material has already been washed and felted – so don’t worry.

Both! Wool is an insulating and regulating material, so it will protect your feet from the cold in the winter, and keep them cool in the summer. So you can enjoy your pair of Baabuk at all times of the year.

Yes! The elastic laces are customisable, so you can tighten or loosen to match your fit and style. They can be re-laced into lots of different patterns and any leftover can simply be cut off to maintain a sleek look. Watch this short video for a few ideas - Elastic lace customization.
