A hobby that grew...

In 1993, Nanny Glerup started producing slippers made of felted wool on a small scale, simply as a hobby. They were so well received by friends and family that she decided to make it her living. However she was only able to manufacture two pairs a day. Since then she has developed new production techniques and over the years, assisted by her husband, Ove Glerup, she has developed and refined the products.

Materials:-

• Ever since Nanny Glerup started the company, it has been a clear objective to produce all her products as eco friendly as possible.
• For the same reason Glerup's aim to treat all wool in their products as gently as possible. The wool is cleaned mechanically and avoids chemicals.
• When dying the wool only the best non-metallic colours are used.
• Hides are tanned using the most modern and eco friendly methods.
• The felt shoe is made from 100% pure natural wool.
• The shoe is designed to sit firmly on your foot.
• Felt shoes are strong, smooth and warm.
• Wool has the capacity to absorb moisture (all 38% of its weight), therefore they keep your feet dry and warm.
• The shoes may "shed" during the first few days of use. The reason for this is that the coarsest fibres work their way out of the felt. It is only natural, and the fibres just need to be plucked off.
• The qualities of wool become entirely unique when worn directly next to the skin, and we recommend you wear your shoes with bare feet.

Care of your Glerups:-

• Naturally wool has the ability to clean itself, so if you let your shoes have air and rest they will keep fresh.
• You can wash your shoes by hand in warm soapy water. Spot treat with washing up liquid to clean spots of grease. Rinse your slippers well, spin-dry. Put your feet in the moist shoes, and pad them into shape.
• Wash on a wool program at your own risk.

Not sure of your size?

Glerups are made true to size. We recommend you order your usual shoe size.

If you are unsure find the measurement in the chart below and see which size to order.

Simply find the length of the foot by putting the heel towards an edge.

Put a tape measure to the same edge and read at the tip of the longest toe.
