Customer Reviews Haflinger GZ Classic Grizzly

This is my 2nd pair of Haflinger slippers that I've purchased in 6 months. They are both made terrible and separated from the sole in the same place. I bought the 2nd pair, thinking after i have heard such wonderful things about workmanship and comfort, that this was a fluke with the 1st pair. Perhaps there has been a change in manufacturing / quality compared to the superior quality Haflinger was for years and years.

This is the second time Ive ordered this type of shoe and both times Ive had to return them. They run at least one size larger than you order.

I am reviewing the Haflinger Grizzly clogs. After wearing Haflinger for 15 years I bought my recent pairs which differ dramatically from previous Grizzlys in the material of the sole. The older version was black, durable, comfortable. The new version is tan, blending its color with the cork. The problem is the these are not the same material as the black sole. Older clogs lasted me over 8 months wearing indoors for about One and a half hours per day. I am 5 feet and weigh 100. Therefore, the change in the sole over merely 4 weeks is clearly not due to undue weight or stress on the sole. I tried 3 different clogs all with the same cork colored soles. Each of them wore down at the heel within 4 weeks. This is not the cork -- but rather the tan colored sole. Further, the black soles had engraving on the bottom that helped against sliding. The cork colored soles are shaped like multiple waves on an ocean. The result is significantly more pronating and supinating and more sliding. The worst part is that they wore down within such a short period. Also, notice the different in depth between the black and tan soles: If you visually look at the older black soles they are quite obviously close to twice as deep. Thus, the thin tan soles are quite obviously visually different in depth. I won't be wearing Haflinger clogs in the future. It's very disappointing since I've always loved the old tried and true ones with black, strong, durable soles.

I returned the 39 and ordered the 38, even though my normal size is 39. But I had to return these, too, because they were much wide. I wanted so much for them to be right?

I was so sad to have to return these, but though I ordered a 39 and I always wear 8 1/2 B, they were much too big. Maybe the 38 will fit.

Sad to say these shoes are bad quality. I am returning my second pair due to them breaking. I don't recommend them.

I am a US size 5 in every brand. I was skeptical when I saw this brand's 36 listed as a US 5, but thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately my instinct was correct and I have to return them. These run one size too big.

I have worn Haflinger Grizzlys for years, this is my 4th pair. I always buy size 36 and wear them with insoles for plantar facitiis. I am returning this pair, the fit is odd, there is no room for my insoles. I see they are made in Poland instead of the made in Germany with the dark sole.

I originally ordered a size 41 as I wear a size 11 shoe. As it was too short, I ordered a 42, the next size up. It is still not right. The left shoe is squishing my long middle toe. Very disappointing.

Have never said I love any pair of shoes but I love these shoes! Very comfortable, especially the excellent arch support. I usually wear a 9 1/2 but found the size 9 (40) fit just fine.
