Haflinger is a heritage brand renowned for its high-quality comfort footwear, specifically its boiled wool slippers and cork-soled clogs. The brand was founded in Goslar, Germany, by the Otto Haumann family, who utilized their expertise in textiles to create footwear that promotes foot health and natural thermal regulation. The name is inspired by the Haflinger horse, a breed known for its grace, endurance, and sure-footedness in the mountains, mirroring the characteristics of the footwear.

Manufacturing remains centered in Europe, emphasizing traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials like pure new wool, cork, and latex. While the brand is famous globally, particularly in North America and Europe, it maintains a commitment to sustainable production methods. The brand is managed under the family-held corporate structure that preserves its original vision of 'healthy walking' and bio-mechanical support.
