My search criteria:
The shoes should be warm and comfortable to wear, look good, and quiet at (consideration in WG) run and be suitable for the kitchen (on the ground splashes).
----------------------
Conclusion:
Both shoes fit perfectly and meet all my needs. This time, the one by a nose ahead, sometimes another (see below). For me, yet it is clear the Haflinger as scarce winner because it does not require a slightly annoying seam and especially one-third cheaper than the Giesswein.
----------------------
Now for the differences
Heat: in everyday life I have not experienced any differences with both socks and thin socks, standing on a very cold metal plate, the Giesswein isolated little better, both were really good.
Comfort: Again, both very good, but was here when Giesswein seam forward clearly felt (between big toe and small toe) (at least 0.5 cm thick.), If you "feel out", moving the toes or going. While sitting you look at it, however, not true.
Both fit perfectly, both with thin socks, thick socks as (the Giesswein allowed in the latter minimal space to move forward with your toes, what a small plus was).
Appearance: The felt of Giesswein is slightly rougher (thereby looks a bit rustic from), and the sectional shape of the Haflinger seemed a bit racier. Personally, I prefer here the Haflinger, while a girlfriend the Giesswein attested a "wertigeres" appearance.
Practicality: Both are very quiet when running, the rubber sole of the Giesswein can "Klebgeräusche" cause very softly to flow. Both offer 1A stop you from sliding on smooth laminate neither bare nor flow (the Giiesswein stops a little abrupt). The rubber sole is the Haflinger is not directly on the surface of, as can indeed also by moisture, but possibly by clean worse when you walk through any blobs.
For long-term durability, I can not make any statements at present unfortunately.
