Giesswein's natural wool footwear is not only healthy and comfortable, it is also environmentally friendly. While other companies are seeking to jump on the "green" bandwagon, Giesswein has been committed to the environment since their first batch of boiled wool was created in Austria in 1954.

Giesswein's environmental vision is inspired by the uniqueness of the Tyrolean Mountains that surround them-a declared belief in nature and environment is part of the company's philosophy. Their commitment starts with an economical use of resources, continues with a non-polluting production, and ends with a natural way of packaging. 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 bought these for my hubby after my Mom and I gifted a pair to each other for Christmas. I have them on as I'm writing. Absolutely worth every penny. Fabulous, removable footbed. Cozy warm yet breathe wonderfully (not like Uggs - which my feet steam in). I think I've worn mine every day since Christmas - no pilling, wearing great. HIGHLY recommended.

Very comfy -- once I was able to get it on my foot. This will be an ideal slipper for anyone who doesn't have foot issues. Too much twisting of my foot to get the shoe on and off doesn't work for my old feet.

My first thought was, wow, these are expensive. Then I thought, if they hold up for, say, more than two years, they could be worth the price. I'd read that they ran a bit small, so I ordered a size bigger than my Birkenstocks. That didn't work out; however, two sizes bigger than the Birkies was the magic number. These babies feel terrific on my orthopedically-challenged feet. And I love the outdoor soles.

I'd also recommend: Birkenstock

I have not had slippers for years, since I started wearing orthotics. I bought these in a slightly larger size to accommodate my orthotics. My actual size fit, and the arch support is so good that I do not need my orthotics! I am so excited about these slippers! Thank you!

The size 44 (U.S. size 11) I ordered was approximately the length of a U.S. 10. My toes were uncomfortable and I had to return them. Unfortunately, they have no size 46s in stock in any style. Quality of construction and materials is absolutely excellent. While these are listed as medium width, and I normally wear 4E or 6E widths due to bunions, these were entirely comfortable as far as width. The arch support is very strong, and might be too extreme for some people. I love it. I'm sorry to have to return them due to the length.
