The Glerups Slippers are a cross between traditional slippers and outdoor shoes. In fact, they are referred to as 'indoor shoes' and for good reason. Although still incredibly cozy like a typical slipper is, the Glerups Slippers boast the structure of outdoor shoes for more stability and, ultimately, more comfort. As written by the creators, this is also "due to the foot-shaped and unique design combined with the softness and warmth of the wool."
Made out of 100% natural wool, the Glerups Slippers sustains, maintains and amplifies the natural heat the wearer's feet produce while also staving off moisture. Complete with either a soft calfskin or rubber sole, it slips on effortlessly. Although modern-looking, the Glerups Slippers incorporates the long-standing tradition of Danish hand-felting. It is available in a range of colors.
