HAFLINGER Slippers

House slippers by Haflinger - an international success story

Haflinger has been producing comfortable slippers in all colors and shapes for over 100 years. The family business from Goslar, an idyllic small town at the foot of the Harz Mountains in central Germany, has long since made a name for itself on an international level with soft slippers made of virgin wool, robust felt slippers and comfortable slippers. The brand's good reputation extends to Japan and the USA, where the manufacturer is just as well known as in German-speaking countries. From us you can order Haflinger slippers with express shipping and conveniently on account. Below you can find an overview of the most popular Haflinger slippers and the processed materials.

Haflinger boiled wool & felt slippers - warm & breathable at the same time

What all Haflinger slippers have in common is that they are made of high-quality natural materials. Most of them are made from pure new wool without artificial fibers. There are two common methods of further processing the wool, namely into boiled wool or into wool felt. Both processes retain the heat-regulating, breathable properties of genuine wool. Thus, Haflinger boiled wool and felt slippers provide excellent protection from cold without causing sweaty feet after prolonged wear. Even in milder temperatures, the slippers are comfortable to wear, as excess heat and moisture are simply absorbed and released into the air.

So-called boiled wool is produced by rubbing natural wool fibers together using heat and moisture. This makes the material more dense while retaining its natural softness. Therefore, Haflinger boiled wool slippers are very comfortable to wear even on bare skin. Boiled wool is also slightly flexible, allowing it to adapt to wider feet as you wear them. The Haflinger boiled wool slippers 'Alaska' (better known as 'HAFLINGER AS Slippers' in the US) for example have been a popular choice among our customers for years. Not only do they offer a very supple skin sensation, but also pleasantly cushioned & silent steps thanks to their soft felt soles.

Creating wool felt is a similar process, only that even more pressure is applied while rubbing the fibers together. Although wool felt is not quite as cuddly soft as boiled wool, the greater compression makes the final result much more sturdy. Therefore, Haflinger felt slippers are extremely durable and retain their shape even when worn extensively on a daily basis.

Haflinger open-heel & closed-heel slippers suitable for any preferences

Haflinger slippers come in all kinds of shapes including both open-heel & closed-heel variants. Open-heel slippers either have a very flat or no edge at the back, allowing for a very quick & easy slip-on from a standing position. Closed-heel slippers on the other hand provide maximum stability and are the perfect choice if your feet tend to slip out of the back of your slippers. Many of Haflinger's most popular product series like 'Grizzly' or 'Everest' are available in both open-heel & closed-heel variants.

An exception are the Haflinger slippers from the 'Flair' series, which are produced with different upper materials (felt or boiled wool), but always have an open heel area. You can find more detailed information about the different product series further below on this page.

Haflinger slipper boots - for cozy warmth up to the ankles

Haflinger's slipper boots actually kicked off the brand's success story in 1955. Protecting the entire foot up to the ankles, they are the perfect choice for all feet that are particularly prone to cold. Originally designed as extra-thick socks with sewn-on soles, they have always been specifically designed for cold winter days. Made of supple boiled wool, they are also particularly soft and comfortable to wear.

The brand's most popular slipper boots are 'Haflinger Paul' and 'Haflinger Karl'. Whereas 'Karl' is single-colored, 'Paul' has contrasting stripes at the entry area above the instep. All of Haflinger's slipper boots feature particularly elastic knitted cuffs so they can be easily slipped over the foot despite the all-around closed shape.

Haflinger Grizzly slippers with arch support & outdoor-suitable rubber soles

In addition to the single-colored all-time classic 'Grizzly Torben', there are also multi-colored models such as the Haflinger 'Grizzly Kris', which has a modern doubleface look at the entrance. Some variants such as the Haflinger 'Grizzly Kanon' (also known as 'GZ Chloe') or 'Grizzly Cuoricino' also feature beautiful, sewn-on appliactions. The Haflinger 'Grizzly Franzl' (also simply known as 'GZ Clogs') has its very own charm, as it features an alpine check pattern at the entrance area.

The Haflinger 'Grizzly Michel' is the only model from the 'Grizzly' series that features a removable footbed, allowing you to enjoy the combination of breathable wool felt and outdoor-suitable rubber soles with your own orthopaedic insoles. In addition, unlike the other 'Grizzly' models, the 'Michel' has no heel edge at all and can be comfortably put on from a standing position, even with wider feet.

The Haflinger 'Grizzly Buffalo' slippers provide a particularly firm hold on the foot as they have a raised edge at the back of the heel. Although they can't be put on from a standing position, they are the perfect alternative if your feet tend to slip out of the back when wearing 'Grizzly' slippers with an open heel area.

Haflinger Blizzard slippers with removable insoles & sturdy crepe soles

Haflinger Everest slippers with removable insoles & flexible rubber soles

The relatively lightweight Haflinger 'Everest' slippers typically have wool felt uppers and feature removable insoles made of cork and soft foam. In contrast to the 'Blizzard' and 'Grizzly' slippers, they have a more thin and thereby flexible rubber sole, allowing for very natural and unhindered motions of the feet.

Haflinger Flair slippers with soft felt soles

The 'Flair' slippers from Haflinger ensure an incomparably soft feel all around the feet. Not only is wool felt (or boiled wool with some models) used as the upper material, their outsoles are also made of genuine wool felt. In combination with the firmly integrated latex footbeds, this provides particularly soft step cushioning. Thanks to their soft felt soles, Haflinger's 'Flair' slippers also have the advantage of being particularly low-noise and gentle on sensitive floorings. Stability is provided by the very thin, barely visible latex coating under their felt soles. These slippers are specifically optimized for indoor use and should therefore not be worn outside or on wet surfaces.

Haflinger shearling slippers - incomparably warm & fluffy

Besides their slipper boots, Haflinger's slippers made of genuine shearling are by far the best choice for cold sensitive feet. As the high-quality material is processed in its orginal form, Haflinger shearling slippers are made of durable leather on the outside and lined with cuddly soft wool on the inside.

Haflinger shearling slippers perfectly protect from cold thanks to their exceptionally soft and dense lining. As a natural material, genuine shearling also has a breathable effect in order not to cause sweaty feet despite all the cozy warmth it provides.

Haflinger leather slippers - summery sandals & sturdy clogs

Haflinger now also uses their decades of experience in the development of anatomically shaped cork footbeds to create summery leather sandals & clogs for both women and men.

Haflinger leather clogs are typically closed at the front and have a flat edge at the back to make them easy to put on while standing. These leather slippers, of which the Haflinger 'Travel' is the most well-known, are ideal for all year round thanks to their breathable leather uppers. As genuine leather is water-repellent as well, these slippers can also be worn outdoors, especially those with a firm rubber sole. There are also more lightweight variants available, the Haflinger 'Everest Softi' might be the most popular example. In contrast to the very sturdy clogs (who typically combine a thick, anatomical footbed with an equally firm rubber sole), these feature removable insoles and more flexible rubber soles.

Haflinger's leather sandals on the other hand are typically open at the toe area and are available in both closed-heel and open-heel variants. Their leather straps are usually adjustable in width through buckle clasps. Therefore, they offer an airy feeling and carefree comfort despite providing a firm hold on the foot.

In addition to a very high emphasis on customer satisfaction and their exclusive use of all-natural materials, Haflinger has been increasingly focussing on sustainability for several years now. The leather processed on the inside of their slippers and sandals is now purely vegetable-tanned, i.e. tanned without chemicals. An environmentally friendly process that also makes the material particularly supple and skin-friendly.

Haflinger women's slippers - warm, comfortable & fashionable at once

By processing high-quality natural materials into tried and tested slipper types, which are constantly being reinvented in modern colors and designs, Haflinger's women's slippers offer maximum comfort and an appealing look at the same time. Whether it's slippers made of soft boiled wool or very durable felt slippers - their most popular women's slippers are available in new, innovative designs every season. Of course, this also applies to Haflinger's leather sandals for women, which appear in a new, colorful variety with every summer collection.

Haflinger men's slippers - sturdy, breathable & highly functional

Whether sturdy leather clogs or slippers made of hard-wearing wool felt, Haflinger slippers for men offer high durability and longevity. Thanks to the exclusive use of inherently breathable & heat-regulating materials, they provide optimal protection against cold without causing sweaty feet. After prolonged wear, excess heat and moisture are simply absorbed and released into the air. Haflinger men's slippers are also available in a wide range of colors: from timeless classics in plain black or muted natural tones such as brown or beige, to slippers in subtle or more vibrant colors such as dark blue or grass-green.

Haflinger kids' slippers - extra soft & skin-friendly

Only natural, breathable materials such as lightweight cotton or cozy new wool are used for Haflinger's kids slippers. This means they provide perfect protection against cold without causing the little feet to sweat or burn after prolonged wear. Typically, they are also equipped with slip-inhibitory rubber soles in order to ensure stability and safety even when playing and romping in the kindergarten. Haflinger slippers for children are also available in many different colors, designs and styles for both girls and boys.

Haflinger's slipper boots for kids basically are cute miniature versions of their popular adult models. The 'Everest Karlo' for example simply is the well-known 'Karl' in children's sizes. Thanks to their elastic knitted cuffs, these children's slippers are very easy to put on. Their skin-friendly, cuddly soft boiled wool fabric protects the entire foot from unpleasant cold. Some of Haflinger's slippers for girls and boys are also embroidered with funny or cute motifs & applications.

Many of Haflinger's kids' slippers have an elastic rubber band above the instep to ensure that they always sit firmly without pinching uncomfortably. This also ensures that the slippers are easy to put on.

Alternatively, there are also Haflinger kids' slippers with pratical hook-and-loop fasteners. These are also very easy to put on and allow the exact height of the instep to be individually adjusted.

Haflinger slippers with footbed

Almost all Haflinger slippers have footbeds included. A distinction can be made between models with permanently integrated, non-removable footbeds and Haflinger slippers with removable footbeds. With the latter, the footbed can be easily removed by hand and replaced with your own insoles.

The Haflinger 'Flair' slippers have firmly intergrated latex footbeds that provide very soft cushioning. In order to provide a supple skin sensation, these footbeds are also covered with a thin insole made of all-natural wool felt.

Just like their summery sandals, Haflinger's popular 'Grizzly' slippers feature firmly integrated, anatomically shaped cork-latex-footbeds. These offer very pronounced arch support and are thereby particularly suitable to provide relief for heavily strained feet. They continue to adapt to the contours of your feet as they are worn. The footbed of the Haflinger 'Grizzly Michel' is an exception: while also an anatomical cork footbed, it is removable, making the 'Michel' the only 'Grizzly' slipper that is also suitable for your own insoles.

Haflinger slippers for insoles

The Haflinger 'Blizzard' and 'Everest' slippers, on the other hand, all have removable footbeds that can be easily replaced with your own insoles if required. With the 'Blizzard' models such as the popular 'Credo', this removable footbed is made entirely of soft foam, resulting in particularly gentle step cushioning.

The removable 'Everest' footbeds are also made of cork, although they are much thinner than the permanently integrated cork footbeds that are found within the 'Grizzly' series. While also providing a basic level of arch support (albeit not as pronounced), they are particularly lightweight in order to enable very nimble-footed, natural movements.

Haflinger soft sole & hard sole slippers

Haflinger not only uses different upper materials for their slippers, but also produces different outsoles. Most models either have rubber soles, which can be further divided into firm or flexible variants, or soft felt soles.

The firm rubber soles of Haflinger's 'Grizzly' slippers are particularly suitable to also be worn outside the house. They are very hard-wearing and abrasion-resistant as well as waterproof. On top of that, they also have a pronounced tread pattern in order to prevent slipping on all kinds of floorings.

Haflinger's 'Everest' slippers also feature soles made of rubber. However, these are not solid, but light and flexible. They hardly restrict your feet in their natural movements, offering light-footed wearing comfort. Thanks to their anti-slip profiles and the water-repellent nature of rubber, the 'Everest' outsoles can also be worn on wet tiles or the patio if necessary. In contrast to the 'Grizzly' soles, however, they are generally designed for pure indoor use.

The soft felt soles that are found within the 'Flair' series and most slipper boots, on the other hand, are designed to be exclusively worn inside the house. They are particularly low-noise and also very gentle to sensitive floorings. In combination with the latex footbeds from the 'Flair' series, they also provide very soft cushioning. Thanks to their barely visible latex coatings, they also have a basic slip-inhibitory effect. For more slippery surfaces, however, we clearly recommend slippers with rubber soles.

Haflinger's 'Blizzard' slippers feature very firm, water-repellent and slip-resistant crepe soles, also known as shell soles. Just like Haflinger's 'Grizzly' soles, these are fully suitable for outdoor use. They also have a particularly large surface area, making them highly suitable as seniors' slippers, as they provide very high traction and stability, thus preventing the risk of falling.

Can you wash Haflinger slippers?

Due to its breathable nature, natural wool automatically releases unpleasant odors into the air. This self-cleansing effect is all the more pronounced when exposed to fresh air outdoors. Minor soilings can also be easily removed with a dampened cloth, as the dense structure of wool fibers prevents most dirt from getting deep into the surface structure of the material.

All Haflinger slippers with felt soles are suitable for the washing machine, i.e. all the 'Flair' slippers and most of their slipper boots. We recommend using a wool wash cycle at 30°C (86°F) without using fabric softener, as this can impair the breathable properties of the wool. The slippers should not be put into the tumble dryer afterwards, but rather be dried in the open air and stuffed with newspaper.

All other Haflinger slippers, i.e. those with cork footbeds, rubber soles or models made of shearling or leather, must NOT be cleaned in the washing machine. We recommend cleaning these with a dampened cloth.

For cleaning Haflinger clogs and sandals made of leather, we recommend using either a fine brush or a dampened cloth.
