House shoes developed through generations
In 1970, glerups founder Nanny Glerup took a class in making slippers with felted wool. Back then, the idea of self-sufficiency was on a rise and Nanny made a lovely pair of house shoes for her husband, Ove. He liked the shoes so much that he practically wore them everywhere. This sparked an idea, which became a philosophy – and the rest, as they say, is history. Throughout time, they developed glerups, with a focus on comfort, style and a great respect for people and nature. That is why, when you buy a pair of glerups house shoes, you are supporting ethical living, as well as giving yourself and your feet some exclusive comfort. In Denmark, we have an expression called “hygge”, which loosely translates into coziness. It’s the sensation of being completely relaxed, enjoying yourself, whether alone or with loved ones and just doing whatever feels nice. And with a pair of glerups house shoes on your feet, the “hygge” will soon find its way to your home.
