Pomar felt boots, where Finnish heritage meets modern innovation.
There’s something deeply nostalgic about felt boots. Here in Finland, they’ve been worn for generations through long, cold winters because they offer natural warmth, comfort and reliability in changing conditions. They bring to mind childhood winters, frosty breaths in the morning air, and the cosy hallway of a grandparents’ home where warm felt boots waited for snowy adventures. Pomar’s felt boots carry that same heritage, refreshed and thoughtfully redesigned for a modern life.
Why felt boots are a Finnish winter essential
Our Finnish winters are demanding, espeically in Lapland. Temperatures drop, streets turn frosty, and conditions can change quickly from snow to wet slush. Footwear needs to do more than look good, it needs to perform.
Felt boots have been part of Finnish winter life for generations because they simply work. Wool felt naturally insulates against the cold while allowing moisture to escape, keeping feet warm without overheating. It’s a material shaped by nature and perfected by experience, ideally suited to long winters and everyday use.
What makes Pomar felt boots different
Pomar felt boots take this traditional material and refine it for modern winter living. Every pair is designed to feel effortless on the foot, offering warmth, lightness and comfort from the first step.
Our woollen felt is warm, breathable and surprisingly lightweight. It adapts naturally to the shape of your foot, creating a comfortable fit that only gets better with wear. Whether you’re walking through snowy streets, running everyday errands or heading to the cottage, Pomar felt boots are made to move with you.
Pomar felt boots are also fully waterproof thanks to GORE-TEX® construction and many feature Pomar GRIP advanced winter soles, making them dependable not only in dry frost but also in rain, slush and wet winter weather. It’s the best of both worlds, traditional warmth with modern protection.
New favourites for the season
This winter, Pomar introduces four new felt boot styles: RUKA, POSIO, UNARI and PERHO. Each new style reflecting Pomar’s approach to winter footwear, functional design, natural materials and dependable warmth in cold climates.
