ool, the miracle fibre used in slippers and moccasins from Soul Comfort, helps to rebalance customers’ bodies, minds and souls the natural way, explains owner Anyes de Laat. “Sheep’s wool is grounding. This is why yogis sit on a sheepskin to meditate. “Native people slept on the earth and had leather moccasins, and they did not have all the diseases we now have.” Those diseases and conditions can span inflammation and high stress, to diabetes, chronic pain, poor sleep patterns, high blood pressure, and poor circulation to the slow healing of medical conditions. But wool and sheepskin footwear helps enable the body to rebalance quicker, allows skin to breathe, often reduces inflammation and swelling, and cushions feet.

“That’s very important for diabetics and helps prevent its sores,” Anyes explained, noting Soul Comfort custom fits footwear for a range of medical uses. Caregiver Lynda Rowland testimonial to Anyes explains how a long-time Parkinson’s patient used wool slippers to reduce swelling in her sore feet. “Throughout the years her feet had enlarged from a size eight to size 12,” the RN said. “We purchased a pair of backentry slippers. Anyes ensured they fit and were comfortable.”
Anyes also assured if the patient’s feet decreased in size, Soul Comfort would custom fit her slippers as she progressively healed. “Within two weeks of wearing the slippers her feet were a size eight,” Miss Rowland explained. “All her shoes were too big for her. Her feet looked almost normal after many years of inflammation. It was amazing.” Anyes cites grounding research outlining how contact with the earth by walking, or by wearing natural fibres such as wool, recharges the body by providing electrical stability required to maintain better health, regardless of age.
