Your feet carry you through life – treat them accordingly
Many people often take for granted how much work our feet actually do for us. But they are the first part of our body that is engaged, when we get out of bed in the morning and then they are on duty more or less non stop until we get back under the covers at night.
The benefits of glerups slippers
When you purchase a pair of glerups slippers, you are not just giving yourself an upgrade for your personal downtime. You are investing in the wellbeing of your feet and thereby, the rest of you as well. Read on to learn more about the many benefits of glerups slippers.
The wool
Since the dawn of time, the inhabitants of the cold Nordic countries of Europe have been using wool, a fantastic natural material, as a shield against the cold. The wool used in making our slippers is one of a kind. It is made with a mix of wool from Danish Gotland sheep and wool from New Zealand. This is a blend that we have spent years refining, ending up with the best result for our footwear. This blend with its breathable materials has the ability not only to keep your feet warm on cold days, but due to the fibres in the wool, it can also keep your feet cool on warmer days.
The fibres can redirect any heat, moisture or even odour away from your feet and when the slippers are given a rest, preferably somewhere with fresh air, all those things are released again, making the slippers feel as good as new. Another thing about the wool is that it has a molecular structure close to that of human skin, meaning that even when worn for extended periods of time, it will not irritate your skin, even if you have sensitive skin, making them suitable for all day wear.
The shape and grip of the slippers
One of the great things about glerups slippers is how they become a personal fit for the owner of the slippers. When you try on your glerups slippers for the first time, they might seem a little bit tight. This is because the wool is adjusting and taking shape after your foot, ensuring you a good grip on your foot, which both elevates the comfort of wearing them and also your sense of the surface under you. Having slippers that are formed after your foot, can still provide comfort and alleviation for flat feet, as the slippers support the entire foot in a way where all the weight of the body is distributed evenly on the foot and not just on certain parts.
The sturdiness of the leather sole also helps you with your posture, as the sense of the sole makes you stand correctly. The slippers can make your feet relax and give support to the arch of the foot, which is often a sore area, if you struggle with flat feet. These slippers will not squeeze your toes, as the front of the slipper is shaped after the natural curve of the foot. All in all, they give the sense of a snug fit on your foot, adding to the comfort of wearing them.
Different soles for different settings
Our footwear comes with two different types of soles. We have our classic leather sole, which is perfect for lounging around indoors, doing small house chores or even wearing them to the office for all day comfort. If you are the type of person who enjoys outdoor leisure time, walking in the woods or tending to your garden, we recommend a pair of slippers with a natural rubber sole, which gives the same amount of comfort and support, while lasting longer outdoors than the leather one would.
The longevity of the slippers
Another benefit of the slippers is that they are not supposed to be used for only a single season and then replaced. They are easily maintained and if done properly, you will have the joy of using your glerups for a longer time than your average slipper made of other materials.

Danish design tradition in a slipper
Originating in Denmark, glerups follow in line with a long standing tradition, when it comes to design. The Danes have made their impact with their design worldwide, such as the Sydney Opera House in Australia or the most known toy in the world, Legos. And even though our footwear isn’t exactly world class buildings or toys found in almost every home with kids on the planet, our footwear still adheres to the three principles of Danish design philosophy; things must be simple, functional and elegant.
Our footwear is simple in its design and look. There are no unnecessary accessories or sparkly tassels, just a plain and simple slipper, made for comfort and relaxation. They are functional, because they can be used at any occasion and for as long as needed. This also leads us back to the dual functionality of the shoe, depending on the type of sole, you choose. Lastly, their elegance is found both in how their look makes them fit into any wardrobe, but also their simplicity in the design.
The inspiration for the colours are found in Nordic nature, which also gives them a quiet elegance as the colours feel soothing for the eye to look at. Being made with the use of natural materials and having a longer than average life span, when compared to other slippers, is also a part of Danish design tradition.
