5.0 out of 5 starsI do love these Glerups
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024
I hate socks. So I purchased a pair some time ago with rubber soles from ebay & thought they were only meh. Based on my foot measurement, I purchased size 39. They were easy to get on/off but felt just a little big. My feet didn't slide around but the wool didn't really touch my skin. Even with the space, they warmed my feet as I wore them. I'd walk to my car, drive to the office & wear them there. They were ok. There was no real wear to the wool or the rubber sole. Then, I read an article where the author said that they should fit like a warm hug (over time, they stretch a bit). The light bulb turned on. So, I recently picked up a second pair in the next smaller size. And they feel incredible. Having the wool surround & touch your foot makes such a difference. Now, for those who get holes in the toes, I'm thinking that the toe is pressing against the wool in front. With my heel against the wool back, I have about 3/4 inch from the tip of my big toe to the wool. I plan on keeping it that way. That may be why some people get holes (it is only boiled wool after all, not leather). Anyway, the wool should "hug" your foot. If it doesn't it's too big. The larger size still keeps my feet warm & they'll be my office pair. Mine may actually last because I have 2-pairs now. I DID buy the most discounted priced pair from Amazon. I'll be very happy to get a few years out of these slippers. What started me on slipper shopping was that my kids got me a pair of UGG Coquettes for Christmas 2022 & most of the shearling was GONE from the foot bed by Christmas 2023 (and the UGGs were purely in-house slippers!) I hope these Glerups last longer. I paid less for these Glerups (discounted sale price) than my kids' paid for the UGGs. I'll update this review if they fall apart. I intend to wear them in warmer months too because I have cold feet. Buy them ON SALE!
