Water-protection, energy-conservation, and waste-prevention are at the core of their values. Giesswein is as proud of their non-polluting production as they are of their quality-driven product. Water leaves their plant just as pure and clear as it comes in. Environmental awareness combined with modern technology guarantee that anyone who wears a Giesswein product wears a pure and natural fashion item.

I absolutely love this slipper. I own Haflinger, Ugg, Acorn, Minnetonka and Woolrich - all of which are great . The Giesswein Vent is an Orthopedic experience - extraordinaire! It is the Mercedes Benz of my slipper experience. The arch support is wonderful and the comfort level is like walking on clouds. I am a Mens 9 and size 43 fit perfectly. I highly recommend this slipper!

Would be a great shoe if size was correct. Ordered size 14 and it felt very uncomfortable at the toes. I have a foot size of 12, this shoe feels 3 full sizes smaller. Very unfortunate!

I am a size 8 men's and as others have noted these slippers runs small. I ignored the advice and ordered a size 41 European and when they arrived they were about 1 size too small. I returned the 41 and ordered a 42. Although they feel roughly half a size large I can live with that. They are slippers after all, and comfortable ones at that.

The sizing on these are off. A women's 42 does not equal an 11. I followed Zappos sizing guidelines and sure enough, when I got them they were a size too small. So order up a size or use the size of another European shoe that you wear. Overall, the slipper was very comfortable and I liked that you could remove the insole since I have orthotics and bad feet. However, the insoles that came with the shoe were so comfortable I don't think I'll even need to use my orthotics. The shoe has lots of support in the footbed. The only things I didn't like about the shoe was that it is way too wide, I guess because these are unisex. Also, they are not very stylish. I wish there was some fancy embroidering or something like on Smartwool slippers. But if you are just wearing these indoors, comfort beats style so I don't really care that much.

Really well made. Excellent arch support (I have high arches). Almost impossible to get in (I have high instep). Runs short.

These slippers are fantastic. I have had many of the moose hide/elk hide/etc, shearling-lined slippers, and these are way nicer and much more comfortable. Go with your euro size.
