Very cute. My frustration with slippers are that they eventually get ratty looking esp. when I use them after I shower even though I dry my feet thoroughly. I guess bc they are made of some sort of clot they tend to get gross looking. I usually buy these plain, plastic one I find at the dollar store. I buy them in colors like pink, red, black… that match my pajamas our lounging clothes and I just toss them once they get signs of wear.

I’ve recently found Muji. I think they are openning a store in SOHO New York.
They sell a wonderful pair of “linen room shoes” which are not too warm on the feet. They have a tiny bit of a heel and base to the slipper. May be hard to get in the US. Online http://www.muji.eu/pages/onlin.....p;PID=1759

Boiled wool is a lot more robust than terry cloth or velour, so I’m expecting these slippers to wear well. I’ll let you know how they last Patricia.

Thanks for the tip. I have been looking for some slippers. The sheep are adorable!

Any ideas why we can’t find slippers that are pretty? Those look like we need to go out in the snow with them.

I owned the blue pair and had to toss them recently because the stitching was coming out creating holes

They lasted about a year and were very comfortable. I do miss them and have a different pair on order from garnethill.com They might even have some on sale right now.

I have been wearing Haflinger’s for years now and they are the only house slippers I wear for all the reasons Angie has said. I found that their base model (the ones pictured) are not as robust as the one that’s slightly more expensive – about $10 more – it has a slightly firmer top and on the bottom has several reinforced patches sewn on. I have been wearing them for almost a year now – for several hours a day – and they show no signs of wear and tear. I highly recommend them.

A year is good going on a pair of slippers you wear daily Sue. I’m used to throwing out slippers after 4- 6 weeks despite their price. And this is great info Sabina. I tried on quite a few styles and eventually decided on the ones made of even sturdier boiled wool.

I personally think that Haflinger slippers are pretty in a Nordic kind of way. Some styles are prettier than others though, and they are suited to a colder climate. These aren’t going to be the house slippers that you want if you live in a tropical climate for most of the year.

So what kind would you recommend for a tropical climate? Us San Diegans’ feet sweat just LOOKING at these cozy little beauties! Is there anything comfy and supportive and still lightweight?

Try a funky little strappy indoor Birkenstock Marlene. Once again it’s German slipper genius.

if i hadn’t just become the proud mama of a baby puppy, i would buy a pair of these right away! doggie would love to get his paws, claws and teeth on these adorable slippers

Lovely and congratulations budget babe. You might be waiting forever though because one of our almost eight year old Yorkshire Terriers plays with my slippers daily. There doesn’t seem to be any damage, just the odd soggy spot!

I am on my 2nd pair of Haflinger……a style that has cork between the felt inside and the rubber sole….great arch support, no middle seam, and the color is navy. The boiled wool does last and is cool in summer, and warm in winter. I absolutely love them!! (Found locally at two specialty shoe stores.)

Where in Seattle can I find the Haflinger brand sold? Belinda mentioned finding them in 2 specialty shoe stores.

Karen, I bought mine at Nordstrom downtown.The links to the pictures are Nordstrom links. Easy!

I was trying to remember the names of the two stores ….Shoes N Feet and MJ Feet-Birkenstock in Bellevue.

My daughter gave me my first pair of adorable lamb Haflinger slippers in cream three and a half years ago. After 2 1/2 years of daily wear the insole looked a bit ratty, so I ordered a new pair, which I have worn daily since then. They look great, except they are a bit soiled.
Is it true they can be washed? If so, how?
Because I absolutely love them so much, I just ordered a cream pair and a brown pair from Amazon. They are so incredibly comfortable, and since I am a knitter, I just love the lambs.

I throw mine in the washing machine on a cold cycle, and they come out looking like new. I find this also helps shrink them back to size–they tend to get a bit stretched out after wearing them for a few months.

I’ve bought so many slippers over the years. They always tear at the bottoms and look raggedy by season’s end. My dog has so many “dog toys” because of this.
