The Design

“Add casual chic to your boots.”

With a comfy layer in your Wellies, you can add beauty to your boot-worthy chores. Or bring casual chic to your city boots. Ribbed from bottom to top, our woolly cuffs have the look of thick socks, but fit nicely into your boots—smooth stirrups keep them seated. Worked in the round without a toe or heel, these cuffs are nice and easy. They’re a great warm-up before you tackle your first pair of socks!

We knit this pair of Cozy Boot Cuffs in Jamieson’s Shetland Heather Aran—a 100% pure Shetland wool! Shorn from a diminutive breed of sheep that has adapted to the rugged Shetland Isles, the hardy fleece is spun by a fifth generation mill family into a yarn that is springy, lofty, and deceptively light. It has just the right insulating properties to line our gardening and rain boots!
