Made from 100% natural wool, Glerups include approximately 8% of Gotland (rare variety of wool) making the Glerups durable, yet light-weight and breathable; ultimately keeping your feet comfortable and cool without overheating.
The folks at Glerups abandon the idea that more layers means more heat, Tim Stacey explains: “Despite being worn with bare feet, Glerups are still able to keep your feet warm, cushioned, and comfortable”.
These adorable little slippers are available in sizes for men, woman, and kids. Glerups come in three varieties the slip on, the shoe, and the boot (as featured here). There’s an array of earthy colors from purple, brown, teal, gray, black and RED! To check out more styles and sizes visit Glerups Canada. Glerups are available locally in Halifax at Soft Moc.

Before we get into this can we just for a second appreciate their beautiful raw edge? I’m obsessed.
After sporting these bad boys around the house I can’t imagine wearing any other slipper again. To be honest I was a little weird-ed out the whole idea of not wearing socks (I’m a big sock fan), but on the other hand I did not want to jeopardize the integrity of the slippers. I decided to be a good girl and follow the suggestions, and so I sported the slippers sans socks! And I really actually liked it. My feet felt free (like they could breathe) and comfortable.
The slippers are SUPER soft, and so it feels like you are walking on cozy little clouds. Although I really would have liked them to be just slightly more narrow (I realize I am the exception here). But the boot style really is best scenario for us narrow footed folks, as it helps to actually keep my feet inside the shoe! YAY! It’s all about the small victories people. The width should be perfect for most others; there’s plenty of wiggle room in there for your little (to-wide) tootsies.
We also need to talk about their super cushy not-slip sole? because it’s um AHhhhhhMazing! For someone like me who trips over herself on a regular basis these slippers are great because they don’t (pardon my lameness here) —make you slip!
It’s kind of funny actually because while I was giving them a test run around the house my boyfriend kept asking me what they felt like on my feet. It’s honestly very difficult to describe because it’s not really like anything else, but I know for sure I like it. He kept wanting to put his big old man feet in my slippers and I’d shriek every time he’d threaten to put his big old man feet in my slippers (I know I’m very mean, but if you had freakishly narrow feet like mine you would get protective too! People are always stretching out my shoes and then they are pretty much unwearable to me afterwards. After having your shoes ruined time and time again you get a little protective okay)! Anyyyyways….
The material is not itchy (at all) although you would think it would be given that they are made of 100% wool, but they are actually very very soft! So all you preconceived notions of your dads old wool socks throw them out the window because these slippers are nothing like those!
Oh AND! Did I mention these slippers are self cleansing? Yeah major right?! Who wants smelly old slippers? No one. The answer is NO ONE. So how it works is that the woolen fibers are actually waterproof and sweatproof! They work best when worn against the skin, so set those feet free people!
