Soft pins, but still not for every coat
Even with softer pins, Mikki say this isn't suitable for corded coats such as a Puli's or Komondor's — the cord structure needs a different approach entirely, regardless of how gentle the pins on a slicker are.
Why we chose it
Soft pins that still genuinely trap debris, rather than just skimming the surface, are worth the extra care in the design. Naming the actual breeds this suits is more useful than a vague 'medium to long coats' label, since it takes the guesswork out for anyone unsure which slicker to buy.

Full description
Border Collies, German Shepherds, Huskies and Retrievers all carry a lot of coat without being wiry or coarse about it, which is the specific gap between a hard-pin slicker built for wiry fur and a soft one built for volume.
This slicker has angled soft pins on a rubber pin bed, built to trap and remove debris, dead hair, knots and tangles from medium, long and thick coats without the harshness of a hard-pin brush. It has an ergonomic, flexi-head design to absorb brushing pressure, and Mikki recommend it for breeds such as Border Collies, German Shepherds, Huskies and Retrievers. This is the Large size.
- Angled soft pins, rubber pin bed
- Traps and removes dead hair, knots and tangles
- For medium, long and thick coats
- Ergonomic, flexi-head design

Soft pins, but still not for every coat. Even with softer pins, Mikki say this isn't suitable for corded coats such as a Puli's or Komondor's — the cord structure needs a different approach entirely, regardless of how gentle the pins on a slicker are.
Who it's for: owners of a medium, long or thick-coated breed — a Collie, Shepherd, Husky or Retriever type — wanting a gentler slicker than the hard-pin option for regular coat maintenance.
