Xanthe Anna

Barefoot brand from United Kingdom.

Xanthe Anna makes handmade sheepskin boots and slippers to order in a small workshop in Carmarthenshire, Wales. They're unisex, in UK sizes 2 to 13, with a wide toe box and a flat zero drop sole, and an extra wide fit can be ordered by email. I like that they use ethically sourced sheepskin and vegetable tanned leather, and they also offer repairs and replacement wool insoles.

How Xanthe Anna fits

rounded toe box, standard width

I'd go for your usual size, or the bigger one if you're between sizes, as new sheepskin boots should feel snug at first and then relax. If you have wide feet or a high instep, email Xanthe, as extra-wide and bespoke patterns are offered on request.
