The Glerups Slip-On With Leather Sole is the most durable, breathable, and supportive pair of wool slippers we&#;ve ever tested&#;with the most attractive, well-proportioned look. Their offbeat, endearing (dare we say almost human-like?) personality inspires the sort of loyalty and devotion that&#;s uncommon for such a humble accessory; Glerups have won over many Wirecutter staffers, including senior style editor Jennifer Hunter, who has sung their praises. For year-round wear, we recommend the Slip-Ons style; the ankle-height Boot pair is our winter-weather favorite.

Glerups slippers come in about a dozen colors, with either a soft leather sole or&#;for around $35 more&#;a natural rubber sole (slip-ons, boots).

They come in a few unisex styles. Which Glerups silhouette suits your lifestyle best? The ankle-height boots are the warmest; they have generous, flexible side slits that make taking them on and off a cinch and were the favorite among our testers. The more streamlined open-heel slippers earned raves as well&#;they&#;re even easier to slip on and off, and we prefer them for warmer climates. Glerups also makes a so-called shoe style, which actually looks more like a shorter bootie. Some of our testers found them a little harder to slide into, but they still have plenty of fans: One Wirecutter deputy editor said, &#;I&#;ve had them for two years and I love them. I need a back heel or I feel naked and empty.&#;

All three versions come with a soft leather sole, or&#;for about $35 extra&#;you can get them with a natural rubber sole instead, which adds traction and stability. If you plan to wear your slippers outside, it&#;s a worthy upgrade.

They&#;re warm yet breathable. If other slippers make you sweat, our picks from Glerups could be the answer. Their 100% felted wool material is naturally moisture wicking, temperature regulating, and odor resistant&#;so they keep your feet perfectly toasty without overheating or getting stinky. They&#;re so breathable, we keep them in rotation practically year-round.

They have a distinct charm. These scandi-minimalist slippers&#;based on an original handmade design created in by Nancy Glerup, a mother in Denmark&#;positively exude the Danish concept of hygge, the cozy contentment that comes from, say, slipping your feet into warm, woolen cocoons. If you have a no-shoes rule at home, Glerups slippers are subtle&#;and dare we say chic?&#;enough to wear all day, every day without screaming &#;house slippers.&#; (Supervising editor Ingela Ratledge Amundson shamelessly hosts dinner parties in hers, and at least one guest usually ends up buying a pair for themselves before the night is over.)

They get better with age. Glerups slippers do have a break-in period. It&#;s nothing painful or even unpleasant, but some testers mentioned that the slippers felt a bit stiff out of the box and that they could be a tad itchy. (If you have sensitive skin, you might want to wear them with socks at first.) In our experience, after a few weeks, the felt uppers softened and the gently contoured insoles molded nicely to our feet for a comfortable, supportive fit.

Once these slippers are broken in, you won&#;t want to take them off. &#;After two years, I still wear my Glerups every day, travel with them, and even bring them over to people&#;s houses when I&#;m visiting,&#; raved one Wirecutter staffer.

Glerups slippers come in three styles (from left to right, pictured with the rubber soles): open heel, shoes, and boots.

The open-heel slippers (shown here) are a year-round style that are easy to slip off and on. Since they leave the back of the ankle exposed, they&#;re not quite as cozy as the Glerups boots or shoes.

This pair has leather soles, so they&#;re quiet on hardwood floors.

For around $35 more, you can get Glerups slippers with a natural rubber sole; it&#;s worth considering the upgrade if you want grippier, more multifunctional slippers.

They&#;re pretty dang durable. The Glerups slippers&#; wool fabric is remarkably strong: We brought a sample to Fashion Institute of Technology&#;s textile lab in New York City, and it withstood the tensile tester&#;s maximum 300 pounds of force&#;even temporarily halting the device&#;without breaking.

Note: In the first few weeks of wear, you might notice some shedding and pilling on these slippers&#;small, pill-like bundles of wool may gather, particularly at the heels. That&#;s normal, and it won&#;t happen for long; simply pull off the loose wool.

Glerups slippers are constructed from a single piece of felt, with a sewn-on outsole and a felted-in wool insole&#;so they have fewer potential points of wear than any other slippers we considered, and can stay in great shape for a long time. With that said, multiple Wirecutter staffers&#;diehard Glerups devotees&#;have reported that, after years of daily wear, their slippers did finally surrender. (Think: Holes by the pinky toes; slow-growing rips from the tops of the heel down.) Even so, nobody questioned or faulted their slippers for retiring after such mighty runs.

Wool naturally repels dirt, but you can keep your Glerups looking their best by vacuuming them periodically. If your slippers do get stained, you can spot-clean them with a wet cloth and wool soap.

Glerups slippers come with a one-year manufacturer&#;s warranty (PDF), which covers defects. If you buy them through L.L.Bean, they&#;ll also fall under L.L.Bean&#;s satisfaction guarantee.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

• These are pricey, but their style, comfort, and durability make them a good value nonetheless. And they do go on sale.
• At first, these slippers can shed and feel a bit stiff; after a couple weeks, however, they&#;ll soften up and conform to your feet.
• If you&#;re particularly sensitive to itch, you may want to wear these with socks, or consider our shearling- or fleece-slipper picks instead.
• Although these are without a doubt the toughest woolen slippers we&#;ve tested, after multiple years of constant wear, it&#;s possible that they will develop holes or tears. (A testament, perhaps, to how well-loved they&#;d been.)
