New shoe company here!

The Haflinger shoe company, a beacon of comfort and natural materials, has been crafting quality footwear for over a century. With a commitment to using premium natural materials and meticulous European craftsmanship, Haflinger has established itself as a brand synonymous with comfort, style, and durability.

Founded in 1898, the company began as a small textile business in Goslar, Germany. It was the innovative spirit of Emil Otto, the great-grandfather of the current managing director, that led to the creation of the first Haflinger shoes. The idea was simple yet revolutionary: combine rolled virgin wool with a sturdy leather sole to keep feet dry and warm. This innovation marked the beginning of what would become a world-renowned hut shoe.

Fast forward to today, and Haflinger continues to thrive on the same principles that have guided it for generations. The original Haflinger footbed, developed in-house, is designed for maximum comfort and support, promoting proper foot health and well-being. The company's dedication to sustainability is evident in its commitment to using natural materials like 100% virgin wool, cork latex footbeds, and vegetable-tanned leathers.

The Haflinger brand, named after the surefooted and good-natured Haflinger horse, reflects the qualities of its namesake: grace, endurance, and a friendly character. These attributes are embodied in every pair of Haflinger shoes, from the cozy wool clogs to the stylish sandals, all designed for year-round comfort.

As we look to the future, Haflinger promises to continue delivering the extraordinary comfort and natural footwear that millions of loyal customers have come to rely on. Whether you're at home or on the go, Haflinger shoes are a testament to the brand's love for nature, quality, and a tradition of excellence that stands the test of time.
