Our Story
SHEEP’S DOWN began on a long walk—and a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
In 2022, my husband and I walked the Camino de Santiago for our honeymoon, completing the Camino Francés route on foot. Along the way, we met many hikers who were forced to take time out to let their feet heal before they could continue. Each day, we stopped often—taking off our boots, airing our feet, and applying sheep’s wool to any hot spots. That simple routine made all the difference. Over the entire 800 kilometres, neither of us developed a single blister!
What mattered just as much was that the wool was completely natural. No plastics. No harsh chemicals. Just breathable, wool that cushions, keeping your feet comfortable mile after mile.
Back home, I realized this simple solution wasn’t just for long-distance hiking. Sheep’s wool is incredibly versatile—ideal for hiking, running, work boots, sports, and everyday activities where where friction, moisture and long hours on your feet are part of the routine.
That experience inspired SHEEP’S DOWN: a natural, sustainable option for people who on the move—on trails, at work, or even just walking the dog.
From one long walk to many more, we’re proud to be part of your journey!
