Haflinger Women's AS Willow Flat


Oh the woes of having collapsed arches, also known as flat feet. It just means that I can't just wear any shoes. Those unsupported super cute flats? Forget it.  You spend a lot of time on your feet, so it is critical to buy good and supportive shoes. But it doesn't just stop there...you need to buy good and supportive slippers for the home! That's where Haflinger's wonderful slippers come in.  These german made 100% boiled wool slippers have wonderful arch support. The footbed is contoured with latex arch support for optimal comfort.  The wool felt sole has little traction dots on there to keep you from slipping...we don't want an accident like Jimmy Kimmel to happen to us.


Aside from the fact that these run a little small (I ordered a 39 and normally wear a 7.5), they are extremely cozy and supportive for the home.  Since it's been really hot here in Southern California, I have yet to wear them for long periods of time.  I only wish they made this in a spa slipper style so that I can also wear it in the summer.  I need that contoured footbed!

The only drawback to these slippers is that they are slightly scratchy and rough on the inside, but not something that you wouldn't get use to after a while!


Never heard of Haflinger?
Well, this is their story:

Founded 50 years ago as a family-owned business, Haflinger is the largest manufacturer of boiled wool in Germany. Run by the grandson of the founder, Haflinger is known in many international markets for not only its boiled wool slippers and wool felt clogs, but more importantly for its outstanding quality and workmanship. In 1991 Gerda Hoehm began importing Haflinger into the U.S. and Canada and the company has since doubled and tripled sales from year to year--our footwear has been extremely well received in North America. Although the recipe for reliable footwear and superior wool has not changed since the early days of Haflinger, the line has evolved its product offering to include a range of styles--children's slippers and clogs, wool-felt cork-bottom clogs, hard- and soft-sole slippers, and our newest sandal and clog line, the Trend Collection. Whether you prefer the classic Grizzly clog, our breathable, comfortable boiled-wool slippers, or our fresh, new Trend styles, Haflinger footwear consistently treats your feet to the best!
