Barefoot house slippers
It can sound contradictory to talk about barefoot house slippers, but hear us out. We are talking about slippers that are comfortable, whether you wear them with socks on or simply on your bare feet. Many other types of slippers will either get too warm or irritate the skin, when wearing them on bare feet, but glerups has cracked the code on how to make slippers perfect for bare feet.
Our wool blend is perfect for bare feet
When buying slippers for everyday use, you need to be aware of the materials used for making them, if you want both comfort and healthy feet. At glerups, we have spent years researching and developing our wool blend into the perfect mix, which we use in production today. Consisting of a blend of wool from Danish Gotland sheep and wool from New Zealand, this mix is packed with natural benefits and properties, ensuring you a good and comfortable experience, every time you put them on.
The wool is perfect for people who enjoy wearing slippers directly on bare feet because of the fibres of the wool. They can both absorb and distribute heat, so that no matter the outer circumstances, your feet will feel comfortable whenever you wear them. At the same time, the fibres also absorb any moisture or odour that might occur, especially when wearing them directly on the skin. Where slippers made with other materials just tend to keep the humidity on the skin, causing discomfort, smell and irritation, glerups keep your feet both at the perfect temperature and out of harm's way, when it comes to protecting your skin. The fibres have a molecular structure that is in close resemblance to that of human skin. This means that the skin will not be irritated, but stays healthy while wearing them. Even the tender skin of smaller children or elderly people will feel nothing but comfort while wearing our footwear. And with the variety of styles, sizes and colours, this convinces us that there is a pair of glerups slippers for everyone.
Danish design for bare feet
Made in a country with a proud and long lasting design tradition, glerups have tried to follow suit. We are aware that our footwear is not exactly as great a masterpiece as other Danish designs, such as Lego or the Sydney Opera house, but we do like to humbly think that our footwear follows the principles of Danish design tradition. When talking about the definition of Danish design, there are three main principles that have to be followed – simplicity, functionality and elegance. Our footwear has a simplicity in their design, there are no extra accessories or sparkly things to catch the eye. Their functionality is seen in the sense that they can be worn practically anywhere, anytime. Their elegance is actually found in their simplicity and the colour palette chosen by finding inspiration in the diversity of Nordic nature. Their overall aesthetics and subtle colours make them an easy fit into any style or wardrobe. Another thing that is a trademark for Danish design is durability – and with the right care, a pair of glerups slippers will last longer than your average slippers. They are easy to maintain, just follow the steps described and you can protect your glerups, just as they protect your feet.
