Customer Reviews Giesswein Veitsch

While this slipper will provide good arch support for most people, I need even more. The good news is that my orthotics work very well with these. I am happy! These may run a tad small; I returned the size 37 I normally wear for the 38. Suggest ordering up a size.

Awwwww.... I was so excited to order these slippers as I NEED arch support (I have very high arches)and I thought: This is it! Finally found slippers with support! I REALLY didn't want to pay such a high price for slippers, but I broke down, as I need the support, plus I have hard, cold, stone tile floors. The slippers I received (Veitsch, in Ocean color) looked great out of the box. Beautiful construction. I put them on and they felt a little too short. My toes came right to the tip of the slipper. The feel of the slipper was superb as far as the arch support was concerned. I normally wear a size 9 Medium in womens (US). I ordered size 40 (EUR) in this slipper. I have a pair of clogs made by Mephisto in Euro size 40 which I absolutely adore, and so I was sure this would be the right size to order. Then I started walking around in them and the back lip of the slipper kept slipping off my heel, and as I walked, that lip tucked itself under my heel. I so wanted these to work, but for the price it is unacceptable for the slipper to do this. I will try another style, not the clog style. I'm not sure if the slipper is just too short, or if it is the style. Size 41 in this style is sold out, so I will order something else. Sigh.....

These are the classic German house shoes, as my friend who lived in Germany explained. They provide more support than many regular slippers. They offer great arch support, have a sturdy but lightweight sole, and breathable wool. These are the finest slippers that I have found in all the land!

This is the most comfortable slipper I have ever worn. Sizing is generous but not oversized. Like the "life" commercial, "Try it you'll like it!" The footbed is so soft, better than other Giesswein models. I , e.g. Voerde, though review suggest the Vent is built on same last. Bottom line: great slipper.

These would be wonderful is they were narrower. Much too wide, maybe a D width. If you have wide feet, they would be ideal.

I'm very pleased. These Giesswein slippers are lovely, soft wool, even at the instep, the soles don't mark, and they do feel nice with or without socks. European sizing can vary a lot with the brand, so I have both size 37 and 38 in my closet. The 38 was perfect for my 7B foot. One caution: The arch is very hard, which is o.k. if it hits your foot right. However, if you're unhappy with that, another insole, or orthotic will substitute for the original. I also appreciate the look; my feet look small in these. Bring on winter!
