HAFLINGER Fletcher Clog Slippers

Big Haflinger Fan. Have worn them for many years. Very well made and comfortable. I wear them every day.

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.

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.

LOVE the Fletcher Halflingers. I have been using for years, as well as the Halflinger hardsole indoor slippers. I have painful feet and these shoes really help my feet experience less pain. It is true that the toe can wear out if the shoes are too fitted in the lenght. But, if you get the correct size, not to small, the fletcher last: the sole wears down before the top. Whats great about Fletcher's is that they have a replacement insert; Yahoo, like new again. The number 1 reason I buy Halflinger are for my feet issues, they really help my feet. Another great plus the inner shoe bed never smell bad and does wick moisture from your feet away. I wear them sock-less for about a year. When they get lose I start using socks.

It took me 3 tries to get it right but I am finally very happy. I wear a US women’s 7. In other European shoes I have worn a 37 but these were very large. After trying a pair with a lower back and then a 37 I finally settled on a size 36. I have a short wide foot and wanted something with a wide toe box and an arch support that I could wear mainly inside but also on short trips outdoors. The heel was still loose and slipping off. After adding a cushion in the back of the heel, they fit comfortably and stay on my feet. I like them very much. They are well made and seem like they will last a long time.

I've worn a size 8 us women's size shoe for most of my life. At first, I bought this shoe in a 7.5-8. That was how the size was listed. I wanted a snug fit, so I was sure this size would be great. It swamped my foot! I bought a seven. I'm in heaven! They fit perfectly! The only real gripe I have, is that they are kind of heavy. I bought them to only wear in the house and protect my very painful feet. I'll probably have to add an insert to soften them underneath. Hopefully, overtime, they will mold to my feet like the old Birkenstock's did!

I love them but needed to order at least 1 size smaller and perhaps even 2 sizes.

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!

Nachdem viele Familienmitglieder in der kalten Jahreszeit Filzpantoffeln tragen, habe ich mich mich auf dem Markt ebenfalls umgeschaut. Wie inzwischen - leider - Alltag, sind Qualität (und Preis) sehr schwankend.Gut:Die Haflinger zeichnen sich durch ein sehr robust wirkendes Filz-Obermaterial sowie einer ebenfalls sehr soliden Sohle mit tollem Fußbett aus. Da der Schuh als Extra mit einer herausnehmbare Einlage (ebenfalls Filz) aufwartet, ist der Schuh ein echten "Fußschmeichler". Hinzu kommt ein - aus meiner Sicht - sehr ansprechendes Äußeres.Nicht so gut:Ich selbst habe Schuhgröße 43 mit Tendenz zur 44. Trotzdem ist mir der Schuh ein klein wenig zu groß. Berücksichtigt man, dass "brauchbare" Filzpantoffel schon für 15 Euro zu bekommen sind, ist der tatsächliche Verkaufspreis von 60 Euro doch recht hoch. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass der Schuh tatsächlich lange genug hält, um den hohen Preis zu rechtfertigen.

Die Schuhe sitzen toll,sind warm,bequem und sehen sehr schön aus.Würde sie jederzeit weiter empfehlen uns wieder kaufen

Hat alles gut gepasst.

I was concerned ordering slippers online as I have wide girthy feet, but these are super comfortable. The back of the slipper isn't quite as high as it appears in the pictures so I still feel these are slip-ons but with a little extra grip on the heel which I've found works really well for me. Normally I'd go for a full back on a slipper but the half height back is very satisfactory.
