Christmas slippers for kids
As the days turn colder and darkness falls earlier each day, one thing is shining bright – the anticipation of Christmas with all its lights, warmth and festive colors. Especially if you have the fortune of celebrating the holidays with kids around. Their pure joy and excitement can make even the least enthusiastic Christmas guest smile and feel the urge to sing along with “Jingle Bells”.
Christmas through the eyes of kids is precious, wonderful and magical. Let them experience the holidays in great comfort and coziness – give them glerups slippers in festive holiday colors and let the joyful times begin.
Slippers for the cozy days
With glerups slippers, your kids will not only keep their feet warm and comfortable, they will also move around more securely as the slippers have a great grip on the feet. These slippers are perfect both for action-filled playtime and cozy gatherings, watching Christmas movies or playing games.
They are made with a wool blend that is naturally temperature regulating, meaning that the feet will never get too hot or too cold, while wearing them, but will keep a natural, comfortable temperature, even when worn for longer periods of time.
Worried about your kids’ sensitive skin? It will not be a problem with glerups. The wool is so soft and gentle that even sensitive skin will feel nothing but warmth and comfort, while wearing them.
Christmas colors from Scandinavia
glerups has a close connection with nature – both in materials, but also our philosophy. Nature is our greatest inspiration and that is why all the colors for our footwear are found in the Scandinavian forests, lakes and seas. And some of these colors work perfectly as Christmas colors too. With colors like forest (green), off-white, red, grey and brown, the kids can enjoy the festivities in slippers with matching colors.
Imagine how special this year’s Christmas photo will be, with all the youngest family members in cute, matching slippers. If the family has gotten a new member during the year, we have our infant boots in brown or off-white, so the tiniest elf in the bunch can celebrate their first Christmas in immense comfort.
Christmas is about giving…
The story of how glerups came to be aligns a lot with the spirit of Christmas, a spirit of giving generously. glerups started with a woman named Nanny, who attended a class in making things out of felt. Nanny decided to make her husband, Ove, a pair of slipper boots for him to wear around the house, especially in the evening, when they would sit and watch TV together.
Ove was thrilled with the slippers – so thrilled in fact, that he started wearing them everywhere he went. And he would tell everyone he met, about this lovely gift his wife had made him. Soon, family, friends and neighbors began to ask Nanny to make them a pair of slippers too.
Nanny started attending conferences and fairs for handcrafted products and the stories of the slippers handmade with natural wool and great comfort started spreading around the country. Nanny tried to keep up with the orders that were coming in, like a one woman factory, making two pairs of slippers a day.
But as the demand grew higher, Nanny started having a hard time keeping up, and when a kids’ shoe shop from Sweden ordered 200 pairs of slippers, she had to make a decision – stop it all together, or try to expand her business. Luckily, she chose the latter and today, glerups footwear is sold all over the world, with both kids and adults having the quiet luxury of wearing them on a daily basis.
glerups – an ethical choice all year round
No matter if you buy glerups as a present, as a part of your kids’ Christmas outfit or even for yourself, you are supporting a business that supports the planet. Every step of the production process, from the way they look after the sheep to the way the slippers are transported around the globe, is made with the utmost respect for nature and with as little impact on nature as possible. That is ethical aesthetics at its finest.
How to order glerups slippers for the holiday season
When you want to order glerups slippers, there are a few choices you need to consider, before pressing the add to cart button. Luckily, it makes a lot of sense once you get into the webshop.
Firstly, you choose the type of slippers you want. The slip-ons, the shoe slipper or the boot slipper. For toddlers, we recommend the boot slippers, as they have the best grip on the feet, which makes for better support when roaming around the Christmas tree.
Then you choose which color and type of sole the slippers need. You can choose between a leather sole and a natural rubber sole, with the main difference being that the natural rubber ones can be used outdoors as well. Then, you just need to add the right size and you are ready to order.
Having trouble determining the right size? In our size-guide you’ll find the easy steps to measuring the foot correctly. Remember, when measuring a kid's foot, you need to add 0.4 inches, so their feet will have room to grow. We wish you a lovely, cozy and comfy Christmas from everyone at glerups.
