Which Slippers Are Suitable for Orthopaedic Insoles?
Orthopaedic insoles support your feet throughout the day – and this support shouldn’t stop when you get home. However, not every slipper is suitable for orthopaedic insoles. Important features include a removable insole, sufficient space, a secure fit and good heel support.
Slippers with a removable insole are particularly practical because the original insole can be replaced with your customised orthopaedic insole. A stable, non-slip sole and enough room around the toes can also improve comfort and stability.
Our tip: Take your own orthopaedic insoles with you when buying slippers. This allows you to check immediately whether the slipper and insole fit together properly and provide enough room and support.
Ultimately, the right slipper is not simply the softest or most comfortable one – it is the one that works well together with your foot and orthopaedic insole.
Haflinger Shoe Size Guide: Converting EU to US Sizes
So you've found the perfect pair of Haflinger slippers — cozy wool felt, a supportive cork footbed, that unmistakable European craftsmanship — and now you're staring at a size like "EU 40" wondering what that actually means for your feet. You're not alone. Since Haflinger is a European brand made in Germany, all of our shoes are sized using the EU (Continental) system, which can feel unfamiliar if you're used to shopping in US sizes.
The good news: converting between the two is simple once you know the numbers. Here's everything you need to find your perfect Haflinger fit.
Men’s slippers with footbeds are a smart choice for anyone who wants to give their feet more comfort and support at home. A well-designed footbed can provide targeted support and create a more comfortable walking experience. Especially after a long day at work, comfortable slippers offer a pleasant alternative to stiff outdoor or work shoes. In addition to the footbed, factors such as the right size, high-quality materials, and a non-slip sole also play an important role.
Open or closed slippers – which option is right for you? Both styles have their advantages and are suited to different needs. While open slippers are particularly lightweight, breathable and easy to slip on and off, closed slippers offer warmth, support and additional protection. Whether you are looking for comfortable footwear on warm summer days or cozy slippers for cold winter evenings, the right choice depends on the season, your personal comfort and your individual preferences. Discover the key differences and find out which slippers suit you best.
Virgin wool is a natural and renewable fiber that comes directly from sheep. It is considered sustainable because it is durable, versatile, and biodegradable under suitable conditions. Its natural properties help regulate moisture, temperature, and odors, meaning wool products often need to be washed less frequently. This can help save water and energy.
However, the sustainability of virgin wool also depends on factors such as responsible animal husbandry, processing, transportation, and product quality. Choosing wool from responsible sources and investing in durable products can make virgin wool a conscious and sustainable material choice.
Warm feet, greater comfort: High-quality slippers are indispensable, especially during the cold season. Natural materials such as virgin wool, lambskin, or felt keep the warmth where it’s needed—for cozy moments at home and an all-around comfortable foot environment.
