I love my haflingers with the cork soles. I’ve worn them daily as slippers for about 6 months, many hours per day (I work from home). They’ve held up well and don’t smell however I did notice some stitching coming loose on the trim near one heel. I’m hoping to get a few years out of them but don’t see them lasting indefinitely. I’ll most likely buy another pair when these wear out because the arch support is great.
