Frequently Asked Questions
Do haferl shoes run true to size?
Yes — these haferl shoes follow standard sizing, so order your usual shoe size with confidence. Every size is listed in both EU and US terms (EU 39 to EU 48 equals US 7 to US 14), and the size guide on this page walks you through the conversion. If you are between sizes or like to wear thicker socks, choose the next size up for the most comfortable fit.
Are these shoes comfortable for a full day?
They are made for exactly that. The smooth leather inner lining is designed for all-day comfort, the real leather upper softens and moulds to your foot after a short break-in period, and the rugged non-slip rubber sole keeps its grip from the first parade of the day to the last dance of the night.
Which socks go with haferl shoes?
The classic choice is a pair of loferl socks — the traditional two-piece style that pairs a knitted calf warmer with a short foot sock — worn with the shoe’s low cut on show. Traditional knee-length lederhosen socks are the other authentic option and give the outfit a slightly more formal tracht look.
How do I care for suede shoes?
Give the vintage brown leather the same gentle care you would give suede: brush it lightly after each wear to lift away dust, and apply a waterproofing protector spray made for suede and nubuck before the first outing and again after every few wears. If the shoes get wet, let them air-dry naturally at room temperature — never near direct heat — and stuff the toes with paper while they rest to keep their shape.
