A natural process from farm to foot 

At glerups we are proud of providing our fans with the finest results of our work. We make our supportive slippers with the finest wool mix, a mix that combines Danish wool from Gotland sheep with quality wool from New Zealand. It is a mix that we continuously keep refining over decades of dedication combined with the feedback our fans provide us with. It creates a special sensation, which is also the work of an innovative approach coupled up with solid craftsmanship. By doing so, we create a unique result that is characterised by an extraordinary softness and unique breathability, which means that you will most likely always feel comfortable in a pair of glerups supportive slippers. 

Our slippers are versatile in usage, as they provide both comfort and support for your feet. This makes them perfect for small activities around the house, like cleaning, tidying up or even cooking. But they are also a lovely addition to your leisure time, when you just want to unwind and feel as comfortable as possible – on your feet as well as your body. They can also be worn in the office or in the studio, anywhere when you feel the need to pamper your feet really. Wherever you choose to wear them, they are sure to lift both your sensation of comfortability and your mood. The materials allow your feet to breathe whether you are warm or cold. This leads us to the fact that these slippers can be worn all year round. The wool itself regulates according to the surrounding environment and lets excess heat and moisture out through the natural fibres, leaving you feeling good. Even if you tend to get warm feet and build up sweat, glerups got you covered. The natural fibres lock in any unpleasant odour and it is gone the next time you leave them out in the fresh air.

The start of glerups

The story of glerups might as well have been written by Hans Christian Andersen. It all started many years ago, when founder of glerups Nanny Glerup, saw an ad in the local newspaper for a class in making things out of wool using felting techniques. At this time, it was popular to learn to do as many things for yourself as possible, as self sufficiency was on a rise all over Europe. Nanny found out that she had a knack for felting and soon presented her husband Ove with a pair of homemade wool slippers. Ove was very excited about this lovely gift and soon enough, he wouldn’t go anywhere without wearing them. His enthusiasm quickly spread, and soon friends and family were lining up to order a pair from Nanny as well.  

This led Ove, who was also a fan of ethical thinking, to buying a small farm, where he and Nanny could live together and produce more slippers – with wool from sheep, they could have on the farm. Slowly but surely it turned into a real business and the result of their hard work and dedication turned into what is today simply called glerups.

Fun fact: The old farm that Ove purchased is today the headquarters for glerups, lovingly named simply “The farm”.
