GLERUPS pure wool felt insoles CHARCOAL

GLERUPS pure wool felt insoles – charcoal

Cold shoes or boots? Insert a pair of these wool insoles from GLERUPS. They are made of 100% pure natural wool and provide a soft, warm, and insulating layer under your feet. I love using them in my own boots, because without these wool insoles, they are simply much colder.

The insoles are approximately 8–10 mm thick and are suitable for items such as boots, rain boots, hiking shoes, work boots, and other shoes with enough room. Do you have narrow feet or are your shoes often a bit too loose? Then these GLERUPS insoles can also help fill in some extra volume.

This variant comes in the color CHARCOAL: a dark anthracite gray. We also carry these wool insoles in a lighter gray version.

• Made of 100% pure natural wool
• Approximately 8–10 mm thick
• Warm, soft, and breathable
• Helps absorb moisture and reduce odors
• Suitable for shoes, boots, and work boots
• Easy to trim to size
• Available in gray and charcoal

Which size wool insole do you need?

Each size of insole is suitable for three shoe sizes. Choose the size group that your shoe size falls into and carefully trim the insole if necessary.

How do you trim the GLERUPS insoles to size?

If possible, remove the loose insole from your shoe and use it as a template. Place it on the wool insole, trace the shape, and use sturdy fabric scissors to trim away a small edge at a time. It is better to trim a little bit twice than to be too enthusiastic once – adding material back on is difficult.

Over time, the wool felt will mold increasingly to your foot and the inside of your shoe.

Can these insoles also be used in GLERUPS slippers?

We hear mixed experiences about this, so we cannot give a resounding yes or no. The existing footbed of GLERUPS slippers cannot be removed. Therefore, an extra insole will make the slipper noticeably smaller and tighter.

If you have narrow feet or your GLERUPS are a bit too loose, this might actually be pleasant. If your slippers already fit well, we would not recommend adding an extra insole.

Good to know

These felt insoles are intended for extra warmth, softness, and insulation. They do not have arch support and therefore do not replace orthopedic or corrective insoles.

Also, keep in mind that an 8–10 mm insole takes up space. In a shoe that is already tight, this will probably not be comfortable. They are perfect for roomy shoes, boots, or narrow feet.

Maintenance of wool insoles

Wool has natural self-cleaning properties. Therefore, remove the insoles from your shoes occasionally and let them air out overnight. Washing is usually not necessary.

If a stain does occur, dab it gently with a slightly damp cloth and a little bit of Lanalicious wool detergent with lanolin. Let the insoles dry completely while lying flat afterwards. Do not put them in the washing machine or dryer.

A little fluff or the shedding of a few wool fibers is not unusual for natural wool felt. You can simply remove loose fibers by hand. Only use a Gleener fabric shaver very carefully, so as not to thin out the felt.
