How does the Haflinger Doggy fit compared with other slippers?

It runs snug, especially across the instep. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, size up. The closed heel keeps it from slipping off once it is on.

Can I wear them outside?

Yes, for short trips like the mailbox or patio. The double-felted sole has a latex coating for grip, but it is not a walking shoe and will wear on pavement.

Are they good for sweaty feet?

Boiled wool wicks moisture better than synthetic fleece, so feet stay drier. The footbed is still warm, so people in heated homes may find them hot.

Do they have arch support?

Yes. The anatomically shaped latex midsole gives moderate arch support, more than a flat foam slipper. It is not a replacement for an orthotic.

Spot clean with a damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, since the wool will shrink and felt.

What is the difference from Haflinger's open-back wool slippers?

The Doggy has a closed heel and a molded latex midsole, so it stays on the foot better and supports more. Open-back models are easier to slide into but less secure.
