Haflinger Shoes

footwear in agreement with nature

Speaking about the 'Walkstoff' the article reveals an elementary detail in this special footwear production.

natural materials & handmade work

The basic principles the company's philosophy clings to consist in a consistent use of natural materials only. Furthermore the enterprise strictly pursues the maxim of hand-made work. Thus each of these articles represents a unique artefact. Of course, there are endeavours to keep a certain standard for the customers.

Important invention of Walkstoff

The invention of the 'Walkstoff' is a major achievement of Haflinger shoe manufacturing. To put it in a nutshell, the 'Walkstoff' actually represents modified virgin wool. This modification is reached when heating virgin wool in a special drum washing machine. After this procedure the textile fibres dispose of more compactness in structure.

Walktoffel suitable for machine washing

The Walktoffel is a slighty gummed pair of slippers, pervious to air. The latter aspect prevents the foot from too heavy transpiration. Besides the outsole has a shock absorbing effect when walking. This footwear made of 'Walkstoff' is suitable for machine washing up to 30 ° Celsius. Certain editions of the 'Grizzly' clog shoes show carefully embroidered motives such as the edelweiss flower.

Analogies to the Pony

Indeed, the head of the Haflinger pony is a part of the Haflinger logo. This underlines once again the cooperating factor with nature. Moreover the robustness of the Haflinger horses (they even move logs!) might stand figuratively for the good quality of these shoes.
