Haflinger Features That Make a Difference

  • 100% Boiled Wool Felt Upper → Breathable, durable, and thermo-regulating—keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.

  • Wool Felt-Lined Insole → Wicks away moisture, reduces odor, and promotes a healthy foot environment.

  • Anatomically Contoured Footbed → Built-in arch support for all-day comfort.

  • Cork Midsole → Absorbs shock and molds to your foot over time for a custom fit.

  • Slip-Resistant Rubber Outsole → Provides traction for both indoor and outdoor wear.

  • Felt-Bottomed Slippers → Same benefits of wool, plus little grippy dots for traction indoors (not suitable for outdoor use).


Haflinger Fit Tips

  • Between sizes? Choose the larger size and add a felt insole for the perfect fit.

  • Haflingers don’t really stretch—though the cork may mold slightly to your foot—so comfort from the start is key.


Haflinger Care & Cleaning

  • Cork Midsole → Spot clean with a damp cloth apply a cork sealer at least twice per year (more often if worn almost daily and worn indoors AND outdoors). Avoid excess water, soap, or detergent to prevent damage.

  • Wool Felt Upper/Insole → Brush away dirt with a soft brush or damp, non-pilling cloth. Skip soaps and chemicals to protect the natural wool fibers.

  • Rubber Outsole → Clean with a regular brush, but avoid brushing cork, seams, or glued areas.


With the right care, Haflingers become even more comfortable over time, making them a reliable everyday favorite for your feet.
