Are Felt Clogs Too Warm for Summer?

At Shoegarden, we know just how well-loved Haflinger clogs are.  Their comfort, craftsmanship and timeless design have earned them a permanent place in homes across the world.  But as the warmer months arrive, we sometimes hear: “Aren’t wool slippers a bit too warm for summer?”

The short answer? Absolutely not. Haflinger wool felt clogs are just as brilliant in June as they are in January - and here’s why they remain a staple indoor shoe, no matter the season.

1. Wool is Naturally Breathable

It’s a common misconception that wool is only for winter. In truth, wool is a natural temperature regulator, meaning it helps keep your feet cool in warm weather and cosy when it’s cooler. The fibres in Haflinger’s wool felt clogs allow for airflow and wick away moisture, so your feet can stay comfortable even on those surprisingly sticky summer afternoons.

2. Ideal for British Summers Indoors

Let’s be honest - British summers are rarely consistent. One day the sun’s blazing through your kitchen window, and the next you’re reaching for a cardigan. Haflinger clogs are perfect for this stop-start season. Whether you're padding around the kitchen, working from home, or enjoying a quiet cuppa in the conservatory, they’re always the right choice.

3. Effortless Indoor Style

There’s something reassuring about slipping into a well-made pair of slippers at the start - or end! - of the day. Haflinger clogs have a clean, natural look that works beautifully with light loungewear, pyjamas, or even your casual “off-duty” outfit.

Their unfussy design and earthy tones suit the calm, breezy mood of summer at home, without ever looking heavy or wintry.

4. Sustainable, Durable, and Seasonless

Haflinger clogs are made from natural wool felt, making them a sustainable choice for conscious households. They’re built to last, and wearing them through every season - rather than packing them away for half the year, just makes sense.

It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to live: buy better, and use often.

5. Foot Health First

Unlike cheap slippers or going barefoot on hard floors, Haflinger clogs support your arches and ankles. If you suffer from foot fatigue, plantar fasciitis, or simply prefer proper structure underfoot, these clogs are a dream. Their cork-latex footbeds mould gently to your feet over time, offering a tailored, supportive fit that’s kind to your joints - whatever the season.

There’s no reason to compromise on comfort just because it’s warm outside.

Final Thoughts from the Garden

At Shoegarden.co.uk, we believe your house shoes should be comfortable, breathable, and made to last. That’s why Haflinger wool felt clogs continue to be one of our bestselling slippers, even in the warmer months.
