Glerups SHOE WITH LEATHER SOLE

Our slippers are made of 100% pure, natural wool in the classic colour charcoal with a sole of soft and chrome-free calfskin. We started making slippers over 30 years ago – in fact, our founder Nanny Glerup made the first pair of slippers as a declaration of love to her husband Ove.

All slippers are produced in our own factory and in our special glerups wool mix, which makes the slippers itch-free and durable. All slippers are designed and produced with respect for animal, people and nature.

Choose the shoe model if you want the “shoe feeling” when wearing slippers and want to give you and your feet a little extra comfort.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Since wool has a natural ability to self-clean, your glerups will stay fresh if you simply air them out and allow them to rest.

2. To remove stains we suggest that you gently clean on the stain with at light wet cloth and wool soap. You may have to repeat the process a few times, but make sure that you always leave the slippers to dry before starting over again.

3. Vacuum or blow your glerups clean of dust. Leather soles can be brushed and cleaned with a leather brush.

4. Rubber soles can be wiped with a wet cloth – make sure that they get some time to dry after cleaning.

5. Please be careful – natural rubber or leather soles may be slippery on wet and icy surfaces such as tile.

6. All our uppers are produced in 100% pure and natural wool and therefore you may experience colour difference from batch to batch.

7. Your glerups usually shed within the first 3-4 weeks of wear giving you a long-lasting comfortable feel for years to come. This is normal due to the natural treatment of our wool. Simply remove the shedding fibers and discard as desired.

OUR WOOL MIX

glerups started with wool from their own Gotland sheep. Over the years we have found the perfect mix of wool to give your glerups a long life. We mix Gotland wool from Denmark with quality crossbreed white wool from New Zealand, all of which lives up to the highest standards for uniform quality and animal welfare. 100% pure natural wool is used for our slippers, which have either a soft leather sole or natural rubber (except for the baby shoes, which have no outsole).

WOOL IS TEMPERATURE REGULATING

Many people use wool to keep warm, but in fact wool can also help keep the body cool. That’s because wool absorbs moisture without feeling damp, up to 70% by weight by the way! – This significantly outperforms synthetic fibers or cotton. It is particularly advantageous in the summer when it is hot outside. This way no matter how much you perspire you can stay feeling dry and temperature regulated.

– Wool has always been used by both children and adults. It has a natural ability to adapt to the body’s needs in all weather conditions, and it also “controls” the indoor climate in a room. That’s why it boosts one’s overall well-being year-round, inside and out, explains Hadleigh Smith, Market Development Manager, New Zealand Merino Company, which supplies our New Zealand wool to glerups.

WOOL IS SELF-CLEANING

Wool is a natural product with self-cleaning properties. This is due to the natural fat of the wool fiber, lanolin. As the sheep get wet, a process is created between the lanolin and the sheep’s natural basic salts from perspiration, which together form a natural soap that cleans the wool. To some extent, we benefit from the same characteristics when the wool is transformed into a blouse or a pair of slippers. Therefore, it is not necessary to wash wool products very often – in fact, they are better off just being left to breathe for a nice day in the garden. Yet another benefit for you and nature.
