You can never have enough shoes 

They are colorful or plain, they are made of wool, yarn, fabric or leather, they are comfortable and individual: Botties are the name of the shoes that are as unique as those who produce them. The special thing about Botties is that they are made by those who want to wear them or give them away. Do-it-yourself shoes - and without having to be a cobbler.

Or as a gift for people with cold feet, who will be happy to receive a self-knitted or self-crocheted pair of slippers.

What actually makes Botties soles so special?

The highlight of Botties soles are their rounded edges. These allow the shoe to be very flexible. As soon as the sole is connected to the upper shoe and you take your first steps in it, the sole begins to adapt to your feet. Over time, the left/right expression becomes more pronounced. Until then, its shape is still neutral. The Botties sole also has a stabilizing heel tab directly connected to it. These design and functional features make our Botties soles so special and unique! Our Botties soles are therefore protected with a worldwide design patent.

Material - Flexible and adaptable!

 The flexibility of the TPU, a robust plastic, enables the practical processing and guarantees a pleasant wearing comfort. The material is free of harmful substances, skin-friendly and fully recyclable. In addition, it is so robust and durable that you can reuse your soles MANY times. Create new individual footwear every season - for indoors or outdoors. The soles can be machine washed up to 60 degrees Celsius.

 Comfortable feet with insoles!  

For a comfortable cushioning and pleasantly tempered feet at any time of the year, there are the matching Botties® insoles, e.g. made of 10 mm thick wool felt or vegan latex foam. Furthermore, it is also possible to use any other type of insole, including orthopedic insoles.  

Botties® for the whole family - fit and sizes  

Botties® insoles are available in 13 sizes - for the whole family. From children's size 24 to adult size 46. Wide or narrow feet? The rounded edges of the soles roll out for wider feet, so there are no restrictions to worry about here. The soles are "standard width". However, particularly slender feet can also cope well, as individual attention can be paid to this in the implementation of the upper shoe: as long as the area above the instep is tight, every foot will find sufficient support in the homemade shoe.   

The zero lap  

With the sturdy zero-round yarn from Botties® you join the sole to the self-made upper shoe. The "zero round" is essential to join your homemade upper to the sole. The base for crochet botties can be direct crochet or the festoon stitch.
