I've owned 2 pairs of Stegman wool clogs in the past and while they were my favorite shoes, my toe went through after some time (perhaps I over wore them?) I wore the souls out. My second pair found me caught in an unexpected rain storm and I cannot wear them anymore, theough they are still new-ish, they were ruined. That said, I hesitated to spend money on new ones due to the high price and slight discomfort in the tow area as my feet are a bit wide there.

A friend told me that she has owned Haflingers and that she found the toe area to be roomy so I gave it a shot. They definitely are slightly wider in the toe and over the last 3 months have become my new favorite shoe.

If you love this type of shoe but have reservations, they are worth at least a try.
