SLYR doesn't (yet) support direct lyr conversion (see
https://github.com/nyalldawson/slyr/issues/16), you unfortunately need
ArcGIS to convert lyr -> style first. But the plan is to eventually
support lyr files, avoiding this requirement.

Shoot me privately a copy of the lyr files and I'll convert them for
you. Note that slyr is still quite immature, with only certain symbol
styles convertible to QGIS. It's a heavy work in progress though, with
new symbols being added regularly.
