My wife is 8½ months pregnant and loves these slippers to wear around the house. In fact, we bought two identical pairs - one "clean pair" for in the house and one for running errands around town. They have so much more support and cushion than the cheaper competitors on the market. For how often she wears them, they are a way better value than most of the more expensive shoes she buys to go out in. These are really excellent quality.

Too tight! Had to return them. 15 US size should be a 49, or even a 50! What a shame.

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!

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

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.

I always have to wear shoes in the house with my orthotics. Thought I would try these slippers for the winter. The best thing I have ever bought. My feet are pain free. My feet are warm, but not sweaty. They do breath. Expensive but oh so worth it when you have bad feet.

If you are looking for warmth and arch support, these are the slippers for you! For the winter, I removed the arch support and put a fleece footbed in instead. Love the color!

This is a really comfy slipper that I brought w/ me on an airplane and it was awesome! I had support walking and it was easy to take on and off. At home this slipper gives me enough support so that I can do chores as well as step out to run quick errands. The price is steep, but I have orthotics that don't feel as great as these!

This slipper is very comfortable with great arch support and will actually stay on even if your feet are narrow width.

Not sized right, Order your Europe size plus one or two, too much arch support, not comfortable. I sent them back. Love Zappos service.

I'm not really a slipper wearer, but my wife wanted me to wear them around the house to set a good example for our children. She was always chasing after them to wear their own slippers, and daddy was bare foot. I decided to give these a try and I can't say enough good things about them. They're comfortable, not hot, and I've now adjusted to wearing them all of the time. They're kind of cute too although that was not a major factor when I chose them.

In a world where everything is Amazing!...these are simply excellent in every respect. A perfect combination of warm slipper that breathes, coupled with a firm and supportive non-marking, rubber outsole for in-outside versatility. I would follow the advice to order a size larger on this batch. I did, and I am glad I did. Extremely happy-feet with these. Quite medieval, actually. Just ordered a pair for my partner.

Very warm and comfy. Really nice all around the house shoe. The warmth of slippers with the functionality of shoes. Soles are perfect to run out to the mailbox and work around the kitchen, They run true to the European sizes. I would buy another pair from this company.

I'm thrilled with my Giesswein made-in-Austria Hausschuhe (house slippers). They are on different plane from vendors like L.L. Bean or Cabela's. Giesswein's higher price is more than justified by the comfort, ergonomics, materials, durability and appearance of this superior Hausschuh.

These are great slippers. They do run small - order one size larger than what you normally wear. The arch support is excellent and my feet don't sweat in them like other slippers.

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 bought these slippers because I was unable to find the Orthaheal slippers that I like any more. These slippers have worked out very nicely. The removable insert has a nice arch support that is made out of a firm jelled rubber and has a nice feel (you could replace with your own support if you wanted.) The wool is soft but very warm. Side note: I am a pretty solid size 9 and have been for years. When I ordered these slippers I ordered a size 9 and my toes are at the very tips of these slippers. I can ware but I think I would have been happier with and size larger.
