🧵 The original Botties® kit
The original Botties® Soles + Insoles are a complete system for making handmade slippers by crochet, knitting or felting. Each kit includes 1 pair of non-slip TPU soles, 1 pair of cushioned insoles made from 10 mm natural latex with a breathable polyester top layer, and 2 Botties® labels for a professional finish. The Botties® system is designed for anyone who wants to create customized footwear with comfort, safety and long-lasting durability.
The soles feature pre-punched holes all the way around the edge, making it easy to sew on the upper made from yarn, felt or fabric. This system makes the process accessible even to beginners, ensuring a sturdy, professional result without the need for special tools.
🧬 Technical materials: TPU and natural latex
Botties® soles are made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), a flexible, non-toxic and fully recyclable plastic. TPU provides non-slip grip on both indoor and outdoor floors, wear resistance and flexibility that adapts to the foot's natural movement. Unlike rigid soles, TPU absorbs shock and retains its shape even after repeated use, allowing you to reuse the soles to make new slippers season after season.
The insoles are made from 10 mm natural latex foam, a material that conforms to the shape of the foot, providing cushioned comfort and arch support. The breathable polyester top layer promotes airflow, reducing perspiration and keeping feet dry even during extended wear. This combination makes Botties® slippers as comfortable as factory-made slippers, with the added value of handmade customization.
📦 What's included in the kit
Each Botties® package includes 1 pair of non-slip TPU soles with pre-punched holes, 1 pair of 10 mm natural latex insoles with a polyester layer, and 2 original Botties® labels to sew onto the upper to certify the product's authenticity. The labels add a professional touch and let you identify your creations as made with certified Botties® materials.
The soles are available in 13 different sizes, from children's size 24 to adult size 46, covering the whole family. It's important to choose the right size based on the wearer's foot measurement: Botties® sizes correspond to standard European sizes. For gift projects, we recommend checking the size before purchasing.
🧶 How to make them: pre-punched holes and compatible techniques
The pre-punched holes along the edge of the soles are at the heart of the Botties® system. They let you sew the upper (the top part of the slipper) directly to the sole using a needle and waxed thread, or work the first crochet chain round through the holes. This system eliminates the need for glue or special tools: all you need to get started is a yarn needle or crochet hook.
Botties® soles are compatible with crochet, knitting, creative sewing and felting. You can make the upper from cotton yarn for lightweight summer slippers, wool for warm winter styles, or use felt, fabric or craft felt for original creations. If the holes are too small for your chosen yarn, you can widen them slightly with an awl or use 1 mm waxed cord to finish the edge before working with the main yarn.
✨ Why choose original Botties® soles
Compared with generic soles or simple felt insoles, original Botties® offers a complete, certified system: durable, non-slip TPU soles, cushioned natural latex insoles, pre-punched holes for construction and authenticity labels. This means you don't have to source soles, insoles and accessories separately — everything is included and designed to work together.
Botties® soles are reusable multiple times: thanks to the durability of TPU, you can unpick the upper at the end of the season and make a new one in a different color, style or yarn. This makes them a sustainable investment for anyone who loves crafting, letting you refresh your slippers without having to buy new soles each time. They're also machine washable, making finished slippers easy to care for.
🎨 What you can make
With Botties® soles, you can make custom handmade slippers for the whole family, from lightweight cotton summer slippers to warm wool winter booties. The system is also ideal for gift projects: slippers to match scarves or bags, baby footwear, or house slippers for guests. With a range of sizes and compatibility with different techniques, the creative possibilities are endless.
👩🎨 Who they're for
The Botties® system is suitable for beginners and experts alike. The pre-punched holes make construction simple and guided, removing the challenge of attaching the upper to the sole. Beginners can follow the Botties® tutorials available online and achieve professional results from their very first try. Experienced crafters appreciate the quality of the materials and the opportunity to experiment with different techniques.
These soles are perfect for hobbyists making slippers for themselves and their families, as well as for craft makers selling handmade creations: the certified Botties® labels add value to the finished product and reassure customers about the quality of the materials used. They're also ideal for anyone looking for an original, personalized gift idea.
