About Glerups Felt Shoes
While Glerups was first registered as a company in 1993, the first pair was made out of felted wool by a wife (Nanny Glerup) for her husband in the 1970s. Soon the couple bought a farm that still serves as the company’s headquarters today, and began their Glerup-making adventure in Northern Jutland.While these shoes were physically demanding to make as the company grew, uncompromising quality and standards were going to be upheld. And they have been through the decades. Nanny Glerup even made an overview of various fabrics and stitch quality standards that the Glerup cult following reveres.
Glerups continues to look into expansion, and regardless of how big they grow, sustainable practices and hand-crafted, impeccable... quality will be kept consistent so that everyone can enjoy this unique footwear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my Glerups?
Wool has “self-cleaning” properties, the best way to maintain the hygiene of your Glerups is to air them out and let them rest occasionally. Never wash them in a washing machine or dry them in a dryer.
Is it normal for my Glerups to shed?
Yes, it’s normal for Glerups to shed in the first few weeks of use. They’re getting used to your feet and their new home and can have some loose fibers from production. Simply remove the shed fibers and discard them.
What size Glerup do I need?
Place the short side of a piece of paper against the wall and step onto it with your heel slightly touching the wall and mark where your longest toe is. Measure the distance from the wall to your mark.
