Glerups Women's Footwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the differences between the Glerups Slip-on, Shoe, Boot, and Langdal models?

  The Slip-on is an open-heel style for easy on/off wear, the Shoe is the classic closed-toe profile for everyday indoor use, and the Boot adds ankle coverage and extra insulation for colder feet. The Langdal is a sneaker-like lace-up that uses a coconut-waste insole/midsole and offers a more structured fit for light outdoor use. All models use hand-felted 100% wool uppers (Gotland + New Zealand blend) and are available with leather or natural gum rubber soles.
• Should I choose a leather sole or a natural rubber sole for my Glerups?

  Choose a natural gum rubber sole if you plan to wear them outdoors, want superior grip on hardwood or wet surfaces, or prefer a bit more molded arch support. Opt for the leather sole if you mainly wear them indoors and want the lightest, more minimalist feel. Both soles pair with the same felted wool uppers, so the choice is about traction, weight, and indoor/outdoor versatility.
• How should I size Glerups women's slippers—do they run true to size?

  Glerups use a foot-shaped, unisex fit in European sizing; they tend to mold to your foot over time, so many people pick their regular EU size and size up if they’re between sizes or want a roomier fit. For reference, EU 42 commonly aligns with about a US women’s 11, but check the brand’s size chart if you’re unsure. Expect some initial snugness that eases as the felt conforms to your foot.
• Which Glerups model is best if I have cold feet or need ankle coverage?

  The Boot model is best for cold feet or when you want ankle coverage because the taller felted wool shaft traps more heat and creates a warmer microclimate. The felted wool blend (Gotland for softness, New Zealand for structure) naturally insulates and regulates moisture, so boots retain warmth even with moderate indoor humidity. If you need additional structure or occasional outdoor wear with warmth, consider a Boot with a rubber sole for traction.
• How do I clean and care for natural felted wool Glerups and their leather or rubber soles?

  Spot clean felted wool uppers with cold water and a mild detergent, gently working stains with your hands or a soft cloth, then reshape and air dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to prevent felting distortion; leather soles can be wiped and treated sparingly with leather conditioner, while natural gum rubber soles rinse clean with water and dry thoroughly. Regular airing and letting the wool dry between wears helps control moisture and odor.
