Teddy boot in red sealskin
A popular boot has been given an exclusive twist
The lovely teddy boot is now also made in Greenland sealskin and shearling. It has a super lovely sole with a good grip on slippery surfaces.
The teddy boot is timeless and loved by many because it is comfortable to wear – a bit like a slipper – and it is quick to slip on when you are heading out the door.
Your feet feel good in the boot and it goes well with many outfits.
A beautiful new classic, which is also available in other colours than natural sealskin.
The practical details about the Teddy boot in red sealskin:

Materials:
The teddy boot is sewn in dyed red Greenland sealskin and lined with soft, warm black shearling.
2 beautiful colours that suit each other well.
The boots have a good, practical sole made of rubber foam.
They are water-repellent materials that can withstand being used in rainy weather.
Colours:
The teddy boot is sewn in classic red, dyed sealskin from Greenland.
Good to know about green, black and red sealskin:
There are no black, red, green or blue seals in the sea around Greenland.
They are naturally greyish with beautiful dark markings.
But in Greenland we love colours, and that is why we have found a way to dye sealskin in many beautiful colours.
The black colour is the most classic and elegant colour, which many people in Europe have also fallen for.
You can also get the teddy boot in a beautiful natural sealskin
Sole:
The boot has a firm rubber foam sole.
It is durable and has a functional tread pattern that gives a good grip on slippery surfaces.
On the inside the sole is lined with shearling.
Fit:
The fit is good and the boot is roomy and comfortable to walk in all day.
It is easy to hop in and out of – with a handy finger strap at the heel.
NB – for those with a high instep:
if you have a high instep, you may not be able to step down into this boot.
The boot cannot be opened at the side and the only way to put it on is to slide your foot down into it. This can be difficult if your instep is too high.

The teddy boots are designed and made by Great Greenland.
They are the ones who have contact with the Greenlandic hunters.

Care of sealskin
Daily use and care:
-
Let the skin breathe: Sealskin benefits from fresh air. You do not need to pack it away if you do not use your sealskin product every day.
-
When the skin gets crumpled: If your sealskin product has become a little flat or crumpled, you can make the hairs stand up nicely again by holding it over the steam from a pot of boiling water. (mind your fingers while steaming the skin)
-
Brush with the hair: You can gently brush the skin with a soft brush. Always remember to brush with the direction of the hair (from root to tip).
Water and stains – When accidents happen:
-
Wet sealskin: Caught in a rain shower? Don’t worry! Shake off the excess water and let the skin dry naturally at room temperature.
-
Minor stains: Gently wipe with a firmly wrung-out, soft cloth with lukewarm water. Always wipe with in the direction of the hair growth.
What you should avoid
-
No direct heat: Do not place sealskin on a radiator, close to a wood-burning stove or under a hairdryer. Direct heat dries out the leather back so it becomes stiff and brittle.
-
Avoid chemicals and soap: Never use stain remover, chemicals or household soap on the skin.
-
No airtight plastic: Do not store your sealskin in airtight plastic bags. Instead choose a cloth bag or put it in a dark place, so the skin can breathe.

Did you know this about sealskin?
We have collected some facts and secrets about sealskin that tell its fantastic story.
History, the Arctic & Sustainability
-
By-catch from the hunters: Sealskin is a 100% natural by-product of the kitchen. It comes from Greenlandic hunter families, where the meat is an important local food source, and where the proud tradition is that the whole animal is used.
-
Recognised sustainability: Both the EU and Greenpeace recognise Greenlandic seal hunting as fully sustainable. The hunt takes place in deep respect for the balance of nature and biodiversity, so the stock remains healthy and strong for future generations.
-
Climate-friendly by nature: Seals live freely in the clean Arctic sea. The material requires neither feed production, farmland nor artificial water supply, which makes it one of the world’s most nature-friendly raw materials.
-
Shaped by nature’s own fingerprint: No two seals have the same pattern or play of colour in their fur. Nature’s variations mean you have a product that is absolutely one of a kind – there is not another like it in the whole world.
Properties & Practical eye-openers
-
Water-repellent by nature: Made to withstand ice-cold seawater, sealskin has a fantastic surface where snow, sleet and water simply bead off instead of soaking through.
-
Generations-long durability: The leather under the fur is incredibly hard-wearing. If you take care of it and let it dry at room temperature (never on the radiator!), a sealskin product can easily be passed on to the next generation.
-
Adapts to you: The leather base is incredibly supple. Whether it is mittens or footwear, the skin quickly moulds itself to your hands or feet for the perfect, personal fit.
-
Love of easy care: Sealskin is surprisingly easy to keep. If it gets wet, simply let it dry at room temperature and brush it gently through with in the direction of the hair – and the fur gleams again.
