HAFLINGERUnisex Fletcher Wool Clogs

I adore Haflinger shoes.
Let me start by saying that I adore Haflinger shoes. Before purchasing this pair, I already owned 3 others. If you're new to the Haflinger brand, in my experience, they run big (like Birkenstock's). For example, in spite of the fact that I normally wear a size 8, in Haflinger's I have consistently worn a 38 (by their definition, a 7). That said, I really struggled with this shoe. I have the Fletcher's in brown in a 38 and they fit great. I ordered a 38 in this grey Fletcher with confidence and I was very surprised and disappointed to discover that the 38 was too short - we're talking toes at the end of the shoe, cramps in my feet - short. I returned that 38 and ordered a 39. I was disgruntled, but confident that the 39 would work. I was further disappointed and frankly irritated, to discover that the 39 was FAR too long and sloppy on my foot. I set the 39 aside and ordered another 38 in hopes that the first one I ordered was somehow off. The second pair of 38's are better, but still shorter than any of the other 38's that I own by Haflinger. The bottom line, in my experience, while Haflinger normally runs a full size big, this shoe is only maybe a half a size bigger than the US size listed. They are very roomy in the toe box and fit a wide foot nicely. Narrow footed people beware, you'll need heavy socks.Sizing aside,these are just wonderful shoes. The boiled wool is incredibly durable, versatile and warm. They are comfortable with or without socks because they breathe beautifully but they keep your feet toasty warm. I have owned my other pair of Fletcher's for years (maybe 5?) and aside from some heel-wool wear, they look new. They have a decent amount of arch support and offer a nice amount of cushioning. I highly recommend this shoe and this brand.

Which is good, because they're super comfortable for around-the-house slippers
A. I'm a guy.B. Despite these shoes being listed as Women's, turns out nobody will come chop your feet off for having boy parts and wearing them. Which is good, because they're super comfortable for around-the-house slippers. Since they're mules, they're easy to get into or out of when needed, but I find I put that off as much as possible. They're warm and breathable, which is good because I stunk up my last pair of slippers real good. These are great, regardless of your gender. If you're looking for some good, comfortable, warm, breathable slippers with a sole, you could do a lot worse than these.c. They run small. I'm a Men's 11.5 and I barely fit into a EU44. Just for reference.

Runs Large
Compared to any/all Haflinger shoes I’ve owned, these definitely run large. Otherwise, same Haflinger quality.

9-month review update....
UPDATE: After 5 months of wearing these 99% indoors, ALL stitching in one shoe and most of the stitching in the other just....fell out. I thought a family member was playing an joke, but no. I wanted to find time (and sturdy materials) to stitch them back together, but after 4 months they've been tossed. The insoles had deteriorated along with any arch support. Expensive mistake for me.Original review: First, be aware that the US sizes shown on this page seem to be men's, not women's. These are unisex, so for women they're a wide. I wear a women's US 7.5 medium (equal to a man's 6), and sometimes an 8 med if a shoe runs small. One of my feet is 1/2 size smaller and needs a tall custom orthotic, so a US 7.5 is a little tight once the 1/2" orthotic is slid under the necessary removable insole (which the Fletcher style has). Initially I ordered a 38, too large & long as the sizes shown are men's. Outlander shipped a replacement pronto in size 37 when requested (great service)...again, I confirm that 37 = US 7.5 women. The removable insoles are wool-topped thickish rubber, so the moderate arch is extremely comfortable. (Replacement insoles are available elsewhere online.) Slip in orthotics or heel risers below the insoles, held in place by the raised heel piece. Width is comfortable with socks of average thickness. Forgiving wool upper helps with issues like bunions. Soles are stable rubber. These aren't especially supportive shoes, but fine for errands and around home on level ground in dry weather (considering the wool components). A bit xpensive, but seem quite well made and friendly to aging feet.Additional comment: After wearing the Fletchers as house slippers for 4 months, a large, stiff, sharp-cornered tag sewn onto the face of an innersole has dug a hole into my tender foot. Ouch and a some infection. No way to detach this tag, and I like the shoes/slippers, so I must wear substantial socks with them. Also, the arch support is flagging at 4 months. Perhaps an over-the-counter orthotic can be slipped below the innersole.

Wonderful, but run a little large.
I wear these most of the day during the fall and winter, and love how comfortable they are. I have high arches and have had problems with plantar fasciitis in the past. I also like the tan sole over a black sole, because these don't mark my hardwood floors. These shoes are great! I did find that these seem to run larger than the same exact shoe I bought a year and a half ago - the cut of the opening more than the length. I returned my 39EU for a 38EU, even though I normally wear an 8 1/2 US size shoe.

The perfect slipper for me
I bought these to replace some LLBean Wicked Good shearling slippers I had been wearing for years (they changed them and the new ones don't work for me anymore). I chose these because they have a rubber sole and arch support, unlike a lot of slippers. They were instantly comfortable on my feet and the arch support feels wonderful. They are surprisingly warm, without being too hot, which was a pleasant surprise. They are more attractive in person than in photos and the stitching really makes them look extra nice. I bought these to try on side by side with the grizzlies but the grizzlies seemed about a half to maybe a whole size smaller. I have a size 9 foot and these in 40 were perfect. I think I would need a 41 in the grizzlies. I also liked how these came up higher on the top of my foot than the grizzlies.

hochwertiger und langlebiger Filzpantoffel
Der HAFLINGER-Filzpantoffel - Unisex für Erwachsene - mit dem klingenden Modell-Namen Blizzard ist ein stabiler Klassiker mit starkem, kräftigen Schurwollfilz, einer mit Filz beschichteten Einlegesohle, die sich mit der Zeit dem Fuß gut anpasst. Die die Sohle des Fußes gut umgebende äußere Kunststoffsohle des Pantoffels, die zugleich den Filz im unteren Bereich gut schützt, gestattet den Einsatz auch „draußen“, selbst auf feuchtem Boden, was die Einsatzmöglichkeiten auch ins Freie erweitert und damit den Blizzard sehr vielseitig macht. Es handelt sich bei mir um einen Nachkauf in anderer Farbe. Den Vorgänger habe ich seit vielen, vielen Jahren, trage ihn täglich, ohne dass nennenswerte Verschleißerscheinungen zu beobachten wären. Der Pantoffel ist also sehr stabil und langlebig. Er ist bzw. hält die Füße schön warm. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen beim Nachkauf: Anders als der Vorgänger ist hier Größe 44 irgendwie eher 44,5. Die hintere Kappe ist zudem ein wenig niedriger, so dass der neue Pantoffel bei mir mit 28,5 cm Fußlänge nicht mehr so ganz perfekt sitzt wie der Vorgänger. Ob das nun gerade an meinem neuen Pantoffel liegt oder bei allen Pantoffeln jüngster Fertigung zutrifft, vermag ich nicht zu beurteilen. Also vorher die genaue Fußgröße messen! Da der Unterschied nicht allzu groß war, habe ich den 44-er Pantoffel gleichwohl behalten und nicht zurückgesandt.Für mich der beste, stabilste, wertigste, schickste (Geschmacksache) und vielseitigste Filzpantoffel überhaupt.Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung!

It is on definitely on the large side and wide but super comfortable. Tons of room for the toes
I usually wear a women's 12 and most of my shoes are 44. It is on definitely on the large side and wide but super comfortable. Tons of room for the toes, my feet don't sweat (I hated slippers until I tried wool) and they provide great support. We are in a new home with all hardwood and I found my legs getting tired all the time. This is why I ordered them and they did the trick. My mom tried them and liked them too. I just ordered a pair for her but am sizing down.

A Blessing on the Feet
My new pair of Haflingers was a replacement for a pair of these I had for too many years to count and wore them out (still kept the old pair - cannot throw them out). This replacement was of the same excellent quality as my first pair and fit beautifully. An absolute pleasure to wear around the house. The sole absorbs a lot of the shock of walking on hardwood to cement to carpeting and makes each step a delight. Easy to slip in and out of but has enough front foot fabric to give a secure fell to the food. Would high recommend these to anyone would adores high product quality and exquisite comfort.

der beste Hausschuh, den ich je hatte!!!
dieser Hausschuh ist einfach nur klasse!!!! Er hat ein tolles Fußbett, ich habe darin endlich keine Rückenschmerzen mehr. Dazu wärmt er noch hervorragend! Ich habe ihn nach Empfehlungen von anderen Kunden 1 Nummer größer bestellt, das war die richtige Entscheidung - also er fällt wirklich etwas kleiner aus!!!

Tolle Hausschuhe
Ich bin schon seit Jahren begeistert von diesen Hausschuhen. Dies ist mein 4. Paar, sie sind lange haltbar, orthopädische Einlagen passen hinein und sie sind bequem.
