  I guess I missunderstood something :)
  I think you can use silicone or something like that to give them a harder sole.

  Anyway – have a nice week!

  Hey – thanks for your lovely comment :-)
  I’m sorry I’m so late with my answer, but I didn’t recognize your comment…
  Yes, these slippers are so wonderful and so easy to make – especially with felt.
  I had the same problem, I thought the sole wasn’t hard enough, although I used thick felt (about 5mm I think). But it was very easy: I cut another felt-sole and glued it underneath the slippers.
  This is of course only a solution for felty slippers, but I’m sure you can sew something like hard paperboard between two fabric-soles (maybe you also pad it, that would be more comfortable) to make it more “robust”.

  Hope to see your creation soon ;-)

  Have a nice weekend,
  jenny.
