And they are the perfect accessory to your leisure wear, whether it be a sweatsuit or pajamas. Read on to learn more about our mission to bring relaxation and coziness to another level.
Enjoy the Danish concept of “hygge”
Even though Denmark is a small country, we actually have a word that doesn’t translate directly into other languages. The word is “hygge” and the closest equivalent in the English language is cozy, though it still doesn’t cover it. You see, if you ask 10 Danes what “hygge” is, you will get 10 different answers, as it is very individual what constitutes “hygge”. Some might say it’s having a laugh with their coworkers in the break room at work, momentarily forgetting the tasks at hand and just enjoying the moment, others that it is spending time with family and friends, others again may feel that it is being alone in nature or doing their hobby. The common denominator is the feeling of comfort, warmth and the absence of worries, doubt or fear. It’s about being present in the moment and enjoying the small things which Danes excel at. We love having a cup of coffee, taking a break and recharging ourselves, before moving on with whatever we are doing. Maybe this is part of the reason why Danes are among the happiest people on the planet.
Experience “hygge” with glerups
With a pair of glerups slippers, the feeling of “hygge” is within reach. These slippers are sure to elevate your time of leisure and make you feel comfortable, no matter what you are up to. And we hope they become a part of your “hygge” rituals.
Our wool blend makes all the difference
The wool blend used for our slippers is one that we have refined through the years since glerups began. Adhering to traditional craftsmanship while staying curious on how to make the best footwear, we continuously aim to create the best footwear for leisure as possible. We use a blend of wool from Danish Gotland sheep and wool from New Zealand and the result is loaded with natural benefits and properties.
The reason we believe our brand provides the best and most comfy footwear is due the way you feel, when wearing them. The wool makes sure your feet stay warm, when it’s cold, but can also have a cooling effect on hot days. This makes them perfect for wearing all year round. They absorb any extra heat, moisture and even odor that might occur and all of this is released when you let the slippers have a rest, preferably in the fresh air. glerups slippers are generally easy to maintain and if you do it right, you will extend their longevity.

Our wool blend has a unique fiber structure with a lot of benefits. One of them being that the molecular structure of the wool is close to that of human skin, meaning that they will not irritate your skin even when worn over extended periods of time. Our brand doesn’t use any kind of synthetic materials, which is commonly known to cause the skin to get rashes or in other ways react negatively to the footwear.
It all started with a pair of felted boots
When glerups began, it wasn’t with the intention of becoming the multinational brand that we are today. It began as a hobby for Nanny Glerup, founder of glerups. She took a class in felting and decided to make a gift for her husband, Ove. She wanted to give him something that would remind him of her love for him, something he would appreciate and could enjoy. She chose to make him a pair of felted wool boots, for their cozy evenings in front of the TV, for his feet to stay warm. Ove was so excited about his gift that he would wear them both at home and around town, practically everywhere he went. This spiked an interest from friends, family and neighbors, and soon Nanny received “orders” from near and far.
The farm
After a while, she and Ove decided to purchase a small farm just outside of town, where Ove set up a workshop for Nanny and shortly after, they purchased a few sheep, so they didn’t have to rely on others for wool for the footwear. Nanny started going to conferences and such with other amateur designers and the demand for her footwear grew. At one point, an order for 200 boots for kids came in from a Swedish company and much to her dismay, Nanny had to turn it down due to the lack of capacity to produce an order of that size. This sparked the idea to make a real name of glerups and start hiring people to help with production. Today, glerups ship footwear around the globe and we continue to gain fans from all over the world.
The glerups assortment is growing
