GZ Classic Grizzly

I’ve worn these primarily as house shoes for perhaps 15 years. I wear them always if I’m home. I started out with Stegmann’s version and they lasted for 5 years before I needed a replacement, but the replacement pair’s quality drastically went down and they needed replacement in a year. I didn’t wear them outside at all. So I thought I’d try Haflinger’s version and they lasted me another 5 years. When I went to replace the Haflingers, I ran into the same issue as the Stegmann’s, the quality went way down. The wool felt uppers of both companies have become less densely felted. They’re also a bit thinner than they used to be, so I’m sure it saves them some $ but that means they don’t last nearly as long. I find the toe starts to get thin, and the foot opening gets loose because there’s nothing to support the shape. So I tried the pair with the leather band at the opening, that just ended up stretching out along with the felt, and the upper got thin along the side of the foot and the toe. I still buy them annually as I never go barefoot, and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I’ve found. After some time, your foot molds to the cork sole and you get the most perfect orthotic-like arch support along with the superb cushioning the cork gives you. Since I know I need to replace them every year or two now, I am not as careful of them as I used to be. Sometimes I wear them outside, sometimes to take the dog out in the snow. I’ve never done anything to the cork and it’s held up fine to the weather. To clean them I use a lint roller and a baby wipe to wipe off the tops and they look as good as new…. Until they wear out at the end of the year. I still highly recommend them but I have to say they’re nothing like the tightly felted super high quality clogs I used to get.

I went down a size, and shoes are still too large. Otherwise, great shoes.

My feet were swimming in these but I decided to keep them and wear them outdoors in cold weather with big warm socks. Then they fit perfectly. They molded to my feet after wearing them for a while, and are quite comfortable.

It's hard to describe the arch support. The words "just right" work, but so does the word, "correct." They are so comfortable.

Clogs were too big.

Clogs aren’t something I usually gravitate to. However, my sister has a couple pairs of these and I wore them around her house. I finally bought my own, and have already ordered a second pair! I spent months breaking in 2 different styles of Birkenstocks hoping for the magic that everyone talks about, but they never became super comfortable for me. These were perfect right out of the box! Even if you’re not traditionally a clogs girl (like me), consider giving them a try. Super comfy!

They are comfortable, roomy

Love these shoes! They are very comfy and warm!

Need woman's size 12

Great arch support and more comfortable than I could have imagined. Loved these so much I bought a second pair for when these wear out.
