The long standing European custom of wearing house slippers, rather than street shoes, indoors at home is becoming more popular in the US for its many practical and hygienic benefits. These house slippers from Danish maker Glerups are a superior version: made from pure felted wool they are produced in a tightly controlled process that avoids the use of harsh chemicals and dyes. Soles of soft cowhide complete the design. Always soft and dry thanks to wool's natural qualities, they are best worn barefoot.

CANOE offers products from around the world for modern home, work, and life.
