Baby Bootie Rice Flower — merinowool baby booties that stay on
Little feet deserve the very best. The Baby Bootie in Rice Flower — a soft, heathered shade between warm grey and beige — is made from our signature blend of 90% Merinowool and 10% Cashmere. Silky soft on the most sensitive baby skin, thermoregulating in every season, and thanks to the elastic 'stay-on' fit, they stay put even during the most enthusiastic kicking.
Why the Baby Bootie is different
Daniëlle, founder of Moalie and a neonatology nurse with nearly 30 years of experience, developed the Baby Bootie from a clear need: a bootie that grows with the active baby, keeps feet at the right temperature, and never irritates. The result is a bootie that parents keep coming back for.
"As soon as babies become more active, their needs change. I wanted to develop a bootie that gives those active feet the freedom to move, while the natural thermoregulation of Merinowool ensures they never get too warm or too cold." — Daniëlle, founder of Moalie & neonatology nurse
What makes the Baby Bootie Rice Flower special?
Natural temperature regulation
Merinowool and Cashmere naturally breathe. They keep feet warm during a winter walk but prevent sweating and overheating on warmer days. An essential layer for every season.
Stay-on fit
The elastic knit around the ankle softly shapes to the foot. The booties stay perfectly in place during kicking, crawling, and playing — without pinching or slipping off.
Soft without irritation
Thanks to the addition of premium Cashmere, the Baby Bootie booties feel silky soft on bare skin. Ideal for delicate baby skin that cannot tolerate regular wool. OEKO-TEX certified and mulesing-free.
A shade that matches everything
Rice Flower is a calm, heathered greige shade that effortlessly pairs with the other colors in the Moalie collection. Timeless, unisex, and just as beautiful with a newborn outfit as under a wool blanket.
Includes signature dustbag
Each pair comes in a cotton storage bag with the Moalie logo. Practical for the diaper bag and ready as a perfect maternity gift.

Our pure merino wool and cashmere are so pure that they don't need to be washed before first use. The natural lanolin provides self-cleaning properties; often, a quick airing outside in the crisp morning air is enough to refresh the fibers.

Merinowool & Cashmere vs. Synthetic
Why the material makes a difference for your baby
From the NICU to your baby's nursery
Founder Note
"I don't believe in fleeting trends or the abundance of plastic in the nursery. Our collection was born from a practical need: items that do what they're supposed to do, without compromising your child's health.
Natural fibers are key here. Synthetic materials often seal against the skin, while merino wool and cashmere breathe and regulate temperature. This prevents overheating and irritation, which is essential for healthy sleep.
No harmful chemicals, no unnecessary details, and no flashy colors. Only the finest materials that last for years and retain their value. Honest textiles that contribute to a healthy start, without any fuss.
