Glerups – Danish Felt Shoes Made from Pure Sheep Wool
Glerups represents one of Scandinavia's most renowned slipper brands – and what began in 1993 as a small hobby is now in demand worldwide. Nanny Glerup from Denmark discovered felting and handcrafted the first shoes from the wool of her own Gotland sheep. What started as a declaration of love for wool has remained to this day: timeless design, artisanal quality, and the good feeling of wearing a natural product.
Characteristic of Glerups is the use of wool from Gotland sheep and New Zealand sheep, which is largely mechanically rather than chemically cleaned to avoid unnecessary chemicals. This results in a slipper that is not only cozy but also particularly skin-friendly. The manufacturer recommends wearing the felt shoes directly on the skin – without socks, as the natural wool is gentle on the skin and ensures an optimal foot climate.
At Nordlichttraum.de, you'll find a carefully selected range from the Glerups collection: slippers, shoes, and boots – each with a leather sole or rubber sole, in a curated color range.
Slipper – the Danish classic for indoors
The Glerups Slipper is the brand's original house shoe: soft, warm, and incredibly comfortable. Perfect for cozy hours at home – whether on the sofa, at the breakfast table, or while relaxing with a book.
Shoe – versatile for indoors and outdoors
The Glerups Shoe extends a little higher and offers additional ankle support. Equipped with the more robust rubber sole, it's even suitable for a short outdoor trip in dry weather – without losing any wearing comfort.
Boot – warm and protective above the ankle
The Glerups Boot extends above the ankle, ensuring particularly warm feet in the cold season. Thanks to side entry aids, it can be comfortably put on and taken off despite the dense wool felt.
Leather sole or rubber sole – your choice
For all Glerups models, you can choose between two types of soles:
-
Leather sole – particularly flexible and supple, ideal for indoors
-
Rubber sole – slightly more stable and non-slip, also suitable for short outdoor walks in dry weather
The leather for the soles is exclusively tanned in Europe according to strict EU standards without toxic additives – another example of the brand's sustainable philosophy.
