Customer Reviews Haflinger AT Classic Hardsole

I have worn wool slippers for years, all of which have developed a hole in the big toe area. This is something I have come to expected from this type of shoe. I like the fact that these slippers have a hard sole which provide better arch support, and can be worn outside. I am a size 8.5 and first ordered a size 9 which was way too small. I exchanged them for a size 10 which fit well.

Truly excellent in almost every possible way, and soooo helpful for joint problems! Years ago I developed heel pain from going barefoot, and it went away completely when I started wearing these slippers. Over time my feet began to swell, though, so I switched to cheap, flat slippers. After years of that, one knee pretty much blew out and has stayed that way for over a year. I tried at least 20 kinds of slippers to see if that would help the knee heal with no luck. I finally decided to try these again, even though they're really a tight fit, because I remembered that they do stretch out some after about 6 months. They are awesome. Nearly perfect. Flexible enough to move with my foot's motion, and I never walk out of them accidentally. The soles are also non-skid enough but not too much, so that I don't twist my knee accidentally by my leg moving in one direction while the slipper grips the floor too tightly. There's plenty of cushioning, making it the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn...and my knee is improving at long last. It's also warm without being hot. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it's for a medium foot, not a wide or swollen foot, but this is a great slipper. The toes do tend to wear out over time, but for me it's well worth it!

I have bought Haflinger Hardsole Slippers for many years now. Seems like the pair I just ordered didn't have much of an arch support and was not quite the same as before.

These ran small for my elderly mother looking for a good slipper with some support. She's usually a solid 7.5. We ordered both the 7 and the 8. Even the 8 felt short and narrow on her. These had to go back.

Unfortunately the left skipper is larger than the right!

Fit perfect! Customer service top notch!

The fit was good - I wear a 10.5 but bought size 11. I have a high arch and although the slipper was initially a bit snug across the top of the foot, it feels great now.

I love these hard sole slippers. I've owned them for 10 months now, and a hole is now worn through above my big toe on the left slipper. I do wear these heavily indoors and outdoors. For the price, I would have liked for them to last longer, but I still wear them in spite of the small hole, and will likely purchase a new pair soon.

I have flat feet and needed a slipper with arch support. The Vionic slippers had a higher arch but were too hard on my feet. These were much more comfortable. I normally wear a 7.5 EE shoe. I bought these in a 7, and they fit well with socks. I would need a smaller size if wearing barefoot.

THe last pair of Haflinger slippers purchased was a size 11. They had a cork sole and were worn for so long that the decorative trim began to fall apart. Ordered a size 11 again, but this time the slippers were too small and the cork sole style was not available. Sent back and, hopefully, the size 12 replacement will fit properly.

I really like these with the rubber non slip sole. The felted uppers are thinner than my previous pair and this is my only critique. If they were a bit thicker and more rigid, they would likely last longer. These seem like they will be good for some time, but my toe might poke through the top eventually. Very comfortable, very warm.

They have a great look. I like that they’re wooly, different than my Sorel furry insides. So wanted to love these but my feet kept sliding a bit toward the outer side. Not sure it it’s because the material to sole needs to be created differently or if the size of the arch pushes the foot out. They would be ok if you just want cute warm slippers to not do much walking with, but since I work at home I need more stability as I sometimes wear slippers for a long time in day.

I love Haflinger slippers and have worn them for decades. This was the first time I got one with soles and am so very happy to have them. Even though they are a bit big they fit fine with winter socks, which is fine with me. I think I'll look into some clogs for outdoor wear too.

I am in search of the perfect indoor slipper for me. The Haflinger soft sole slipper would be the perfect answer, except that a pair only lasts me a few months before the dots that prevent slipping wear off. I live in a house with hardwood floors and the mule slippers slide a bit so maybe there's more than normal friction. Also, my big toes poke through the wool after about the same amount of time. This version has a stiffer sole, but the result is that they slip even more and the wool will also not last so I'm returning them, as they are even more expensive than the soft-sole version. I would comment that the blue color is an appealing twead if this is of interest to someone reading.

I thought I would be getting a similar house shoe/slipper to the more expensive, cork-soled pair. I have had those, and they were comfortable and wore well. Saving $40+ was an appeal in buying this version. However, the wool top isn't as dense and firm as the more expensive pair, nor does the inside sole look like it will wear as well. They are not the same but without the cork sole.

About to order my 3rd pair of these slippers - I tried the Haflinger GZ Classic Grizzly and the step is a bit too square feeling when I put my heel down. My 2nd pair were purchased in Nov 2017 and are in great shape, but the rubber on the bottom seems to be flaking or peeling off??? Orthopedic issues make it tough to walk in the house barefooted, so I'll just have to spring for these every couple years.

I have been wearing the Haflinger AS Classic slipper for almost a year. I wanted to order another pair, as these have developed a hole. Unfortunately, this slipper is not currently available in my size. And so I decided to try this hard sole style. Although these slippers are similar in appearance, the fit was not the same for me. Most notably, there is a high ridge in the back of the AT Classic Hardsole slipper that cut into my heel. For this reason, I had to return these. I have submitted a request to be notified when the AS Classic style becomes available again in my size.

I bought these slippers because of the rubber sole. I have wood floors in my house and was concerned about slipping with the classic model. They are very comfortable, though a bit on the heavy side. Arch support and width are fine, but I ended up with the size 40 men's/women's model. In the classic model, size 39 fit. My one complaint is that the rubber leaves scuff marks on the floor. They are easily wiped up and seem to becoming less frequent with wearing. I have also taken them out on cement to wear them in a bit.

These would have been great if the ones Zappos sent me had not previously been worn.

Absolutely love these but ug the price really hope they go on sale soon!

My favorite slipper. Replaced old pair. Comfortable and durable. But seems not as sturdy; fabric seems thinner.

Had to return size 43 for a 44, which fit perfectly. This slipper - the third pair I've owned over the last 15 years - is unlike anything else on the market: just the right combination of warmth and breathability with a decent (though not overly high) arch that you typically don't find in slippers and a reasonably durable rubber sole. You can actually walk around as well as stand on them comfortably for long periods. I wear them 10 months a year. I knocked them down 1 star overall because they aren't as durable or long lasting as I would like - the stitching will start coming apart and the padding in the sole will flatten out with regular wear in a couple of years though they will remain usable for another couple of years...

Out of the box they tight around top of foot. I felt after a few minutes they starting to stretch. I then used a shoe stretcher to work the band. After 10 min they were just right. My first try with this brand. Very comfortable. Much nicer than my sheep skin sweat slippers. The hard sole looks more substantial which I can see why some would be disapppinted with. They are soft and the arch and foot bed is well constructed but its not a shoe, its still a slipper. That said they do what they were designed to do. I suppose one can buy a shoe if they want more support. I’m not expecting to wear a hole in the toe as my nail does not even touch the wool. Some people have longer nails then others. The toe box is generous. I. Have fairly normal sized foot. I don’t have any foot pain and I just wanted a nice comfortable slipper that I can let the dog out with, get the paper, go down to the basement with more support than a base unsoled slipper. Nice warm slipper that breathes. Since brand new, I can’t comment to durability. Quality construction and materials make this slipper expensive but its fairly priced.

I rarely write reviews but I saw this slipper pop up on my screen and had to comment. My daughter bought this for me last year and I've been happy, for the most part, with the slipper! The comfort was amazing at first! The material forms itself to your foot after a while and the "cush" is not as "cushy" as it was at first but still super comfortable. I live in these all day long as I work from home. As a result of the constant usage there is one other drawback..the area at the toe of the shoe where my big toe hits has worn through on both slippers. If I had long toe nails I might expect this but I don't. This happened within a few months of getting the shoes. Zappo's wonderful customer service sent me another pair at no charge. However, and sad to say the same thing has happened to the new slippers that they sent. I still use them daily (hole and all) but wouldn't buy another pair.

These run very small for Haflinger’s. Definitely order a size up. If you’ve ever worn Haflinger shoes, you probably know that they tend to run wide & big across the top of the shoe. I have a pair of Hafs in size 39 (I wear 9.5 US) because they fit better than 40 which are usually too big, albeit somewhat short. I also have a pair of Hafs, size 40, and must wear the thickest socks I own or they fall off my feet. These slippers are very flat-soled and I thought a 40 would be best even if they were a big. I was very surprised that my heel just fit inside the 40 shoe without socks and my foot felt cramped. I exchanged them for a size 41 (normally for size 10+ on most charts) and found they fit a lot better. They are also short, even in the 41, my heel almost didn’t fit. I know they will loosen so hopefully in long run they will be fine. I have extremely cold feet and they sweat a lot & become clammy (TMI - sorry). Boiled wool is the most recommended material to help keep feet warm & dry. I hope they work for me.
