Wool footwear catalogue

The range is organised into collections for women, men and children, with prices in New Zealand dollars. Featured models include:

The catalogue also includes specific collections such as arch support, barefoot, anti-odour, anniversary edition and a seasonal selection.

Materials and certification

The products are made from 100% pure wool and the company has obtained Cradle to Cradle Bronze certification (version 4.1) for its slippers. According to the brand, this sustainable design approach aims for materials to be part of a closed-loop cycle in which nothing becomes waste, with the goal of being respectful to people, animals and nature.

Origin and history

The company traces its origins to 1993, when Nanny, in Denmark, felted her first pair of boots using wool from her own Gotland sheep. The good reception among friends and family led her to start a small artisanal production that gave rise to the company glerups. The brand has 30 years of experience in the craft and is part of the Scandinavian Outdoor Group.

Services and customer care

The online store offers size guides, a model guide, care and maintenance instructions, and a retailer locator service. It has a B2B account for professionals and a community programme under the hashtag #myglerups. The return policy is 30 days.
