This is my 3rd pair of sheepskin mules. I wear them until they are absolutely finished. It was quite an eye opener to lay the new ones beside the old ones
Product Description
The Oskie in Black is KARU's most versatile slipper boot — a mid-calf design handcrafted in Cape Town that pairs effortlessly with anything and keeps you genuinely warm from ankle to calf. Available in two versions with either 100% sheepskin or 100% wool lining, both feature a hard-wearing black suede outer and thick EVA wedge sole built for comfort and durability. Bold in tone, exceptional in warmth.
The classic black suede outer brings a clean, confident look that suits any setting, whilst the mid-calf height wraps the leg in an extra layer of warmth through every season. The thick EVA wedge sole provides excellent grip and long-lasting wear, as dependable as the craft behind it.
The Oskie style is a mid-calf boot.
