Worth a punt at that price...

Just got some size 11 to see what they are like. I've gone larger than normal as I can always cut them down to size for a better fit.

Hope they're real wool & not acrylic (or can you not get artificial felt?)

Looks very cheap. If they're "real" then they are a bargain!

Notice that there's no mention if they are made out of wool or some synthetical material. Most of the "felt" I have seen is actually made out of polyester.

Got mine today and they look and feel ok. No markings on them so not sure if they're wool. How would you tell??

If you can pull a few fibres out and burn them it should become obvious. Wool won't melt, it will just smell of burning hair

How would you tell??

Easiest is to burn some fibres and see if they burn readily like polyester or scorch like wool. Other way is to wet the insoles and measure their weight before and after wetting. Pure wool products absorb water much more than e.g. polyester or polyamides.
