I've never tried it, but I will, and I'll add that for the past few years I have been putting cut-to-fit sheepskin insoles in my house-shoes / slippers, and wow, though that was a bit expensive, it was totally worth it. Super warm and comfy.
Warning. I freaked out the girl at the cash register at a California shoe shop (um, yeah, a shoe repair shop) when I asked if they sold sheepskin insoles. She was horrified. She curled her lip at me and said, "Like, ooo, from a sheep?") I note that the store was filled with, um, leather shoes. Anyway they didn't carry the sheepskin insoles, so I went and ordered them from LLBean. I would have prefered to have given the business to the shoe shop, even still.
PS What's great about wool, apart from its insulating power, is that it is so light weight. For this reason I like to use felt tote bags. I find they are quite sturdy, too.
