Haflinger Repair FAQ

Can Haflinger clogs and slippers really be repaired?

Yes. Haflinger footwear is well-made and absolutely worth repairing. We’ve restored many pairs of Haflinger clogs and slippers by replacing worn soles, refreshing footbeds, and extending their usable life. While some manufacturers imply replacement is the only option, quality footwear like Haflingers is often far more economical—and comfortable—to repair.

How much additional life does a new sole add to Haflinger clogs or slippers?

A properly installed replacement sole can add years of additional wear. We use lightweight, flexible, and durable materials that maintain the comfort Haflinger is known for, rather than stiff or overly rigid soles. Many customers report that their repaired Haflingers feel better than before, especially once uneven wear has been corrected.

Will the sole stay securely bonded in wet or snowy conditions?

Yes. We resole footwear for customers across the country, including here in western Oregon where we receive over 50 inches of rain annually. If our adhesives failed in wet conditions, we wouldn’t be in business. When properly applied, the bond is extremely durable and designed for everyday wear.

Can you repair or rebuild the cork footbed on my Haflinger clogs?

In many cases, yes. We can usually work with worn cork footbeds and make repairs that restore comfort and stability. However, if the cork is excessively cracked, brittle, or crumbling, it may be beyond what we can reasonably repair. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us and/ or send us photos of the slippers in question.

Are repaired Haflingers still comfortable?

Absolutely. In fact, many customers say their repaired Haflingers feel more comfortable than before. Resoling and footbed work often corrects uneven wear, bringing the sole and heel back into proper alignment—similar to how they felt when new.

Do you ship internationally?

At this time, we only accept and return shipments within the United States.

How do I start the Haflinger repair process?

Simply print and complete our shipping form, then send your Haflinger clogs or slippers to us using USPS.
Most customers find it easiest to visit their local Post Office and request a Large Priority Mail Tyvek® envelope, which usually fits one pair. If you’re sending more than one pair, free Priority Mail boxes are also available.

USPS Priority Mail is fast and reliable—we use it daily and typically see 2–4 business day shipping times within the USA. Once your footwear arrives, we’ll take care of the rest.
