from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hut shoes made of wool felt with a knitted edge and latex sole

Hut shoes are ankle-high warm slippers originally for mountain hikers.

The shape of slippers is like wide socks with a flat, thin sole. The upper material consists either of wool felt with an elastic upper edge made of knitted wool , or the upper is completely knitted from wool. Either a layer of rubber- coated felt or thin (rough) leather is used as the sole .

The origin of the hut shoes lies in mountain hikes with overnight stays in mountain huts . This type of warming slippers that can be stowed away in a backpack are carried along. The dirty and damp mountaineering boots are usually placed on shelves in special boot rooms outside the lounge and sleeping area of ​​the hut and the hut shoes are worn during the stay.

Hut shoes are also worn away from mountain huts as traditional warming slippers in winter.
