Customer Reviews Giesswein Veitsch

Bought for my husband who usually wears a 10-10 1/2. Bought the eleven and it was tight. Returned and bought size twelve which gives him room for socks. He loves them. Comfortable and warm. A little on the pricey side but these will last him for years

Hubby wears a 10-10 1/2 so I ordered him the 11. Toe was at the end. No room for socks. Returned and bought him the 12. Fit was perfect.

Less than 24 hours after placing my order, I had these on my grateful feet! I bought them for house slippers (yes, expensive for that, but,oh, so comfy) and they are perfect from the get go. Just a fraction of an inch longer would be great, but it's fine as is and they are washable! I've worn other wool and cork soled shoes before and these are even better! Thank you Zappos for great service too.

Could not be happier with this purchase. The sapphire color is both cozy and gorgeous, the arch support fits my foot like a glove, and the shoe is very well made. The wool is thick and soft. I wear these shoes all the time in the house as a cushion against hard floors. The footbed isn't cushiony per se, like memory foam, but the rubber sole and ergonomic footbed provide exactly the kind of protection and support I wanted for my joints and foot. Worth every penny. As for sizing: I am regularly a 10.5 and the size 42 fit me well.

I loved these slippers, especially the wonderful footbed and arch support. Unfortunately I have a very high instep and the opening across the top of my foot is way too tight. I doubt they'd stretch out enough to be comfortable (or that I'd be able to tolerate the stretching process), so back they go and for the time being I'll wear my Haflinger wool slippers (very similar to these in style) which I've purchased for over 20 years. Other than that, they're lovely slippers.

Wow! How I love these slippers. Supportive and comfortable!. Right out of the box I thought the heel cup might be too short, but it softened up and became very comfortable quickly. I cannot walk or stand on bare feet comfortably, so these are always on my feet while I'm at home.

I like the heavier sole, but it is not as flexible and comfy as the soles on my Ammern or Lunz slippers. These soles are firmer and thicker making them better for trips to the mail box. The soles on my Ammern's are very soft and flexible, but they only lasted a few months and are inside only, jury still out on the pair of Lunz's. The Veitch innersole is longer lasting leather, but they feel better when worn with socks, unlike the other two styles which have boiled wool innersoles and feel snuggly on my bare feet. These do have a nice arch support. I have a high instep and usually order a 10 or 10.5. The 42's were perfect for my medium width/narrow heels. I had tried the same size in the Vent style but they were too wide.

My shoe size is usually 8 1/2, but the 40 I ordered was just the right length, letting my heel fit perfectly within the slipper's back edge. Nice, non-slip, sturdy soles. A bit snug for my wide feet and high arches, but with a few days wearing, will be perfect. Warm and comfortable. That said, I dislike the arch supports; they are just too hard and don't quite fit my arch. Luckily the insert can be switched out. Otherwise, they are just what I needed, a plain, comfortable house shoe, in a dark blue color that will not discolor. Pricy, but worth a try.

This is the second pair of these slippers that I've worn. Wonderful arch support, terrific for indoor/outdoor and warm. The first pair lasted for about 5 years and they were the only pair of slippers I wore. Worth the price!

These are comfy and warm and fit perfectly. They aren't quite as cute as I thought they'd be from the picture but they're slippers for goodness sakes, so how cute do they need to be? Love them!

I absolutely love these slippers. I have feet problems and these have just the right amount of arch support. Wish they made sandals!!

I’ve had Giesswein slippers for several years. They’re not cheap, but they’re oh so comfortable, they hold up well, and they can be worn outside. When I knew I wouldn’t be able to maneuver my feet into sneakers after an upcoming hip replacement, I thought a nice new pair of slippers was in order. These slippers do not disappoint. They’re easy to slip on, they stay on my feet with no effort, and, as with the others, they are SO comfortable, I think I might stretch out my return to regular shoes. These are just wonderful.

This runs a full size and a half smaller than advertised. I compared this to a roommates size 13 and they match perfectly heal to toe. I was looking forward to treating myself to these after reading all the stellar reviews. I just wish their sizing was correct. I spent $15 on expedited shipping and another $18 on thinner insoles in the hopes of making these work. No luck. It is impossible to find quality products in a size 15. This is a great product for people with size US 13 and under.

I had never heard of this brand...I always bought Haflinger and Vionic slippers, but this IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST, MOST COMFORTABLE, MOST SUPPORTIVE (GREAT ARCH SUPPPORT) SLIPPER IN THE WORLD. I'm back to buy a spare...plus I got them for my husband. Unbelievable quality!

After reading the reviews, I ordered the size 42 (I wear a size 10). The slippers fit very well; I have been wearing them for at least a week. The arch support is very supportive and the non-slip soles are needed when walking on my hardwood floors. Like other reviewers have stated: I wear my slippers all the time as I work from home and so many other models do not support my aging feet. These are great; certainly an investment. But, I was tired of aching feet.

I gave this 5 stars for being a simple but attractive, and incredibly supportive “house shoe”, exactly what the description said it would be. Sadly I am sending them back bc I decided they just weren’t what I was looking for. As several reviews have stated, they are exceptionally well built and sturdy (similar to the Birkenstock concept), with an almost too exceptional arch support (hit my foot in a not-so-comfortable way). I liked the simple and not-so- frumpy design that comes with most slippers, wore them around for a few days, and decided I’d rather a softer footbed to come home to at the end of a long day on my feet. I have the Ugg Ansley, and love the comfort, but dislike the frumpiness. Still searching for the perfect house shoe.

I purchased these wonderful slippers because I spend a good portion of the day in my kitchen baking and cooking. I have a very hard floor surface and was debating whether I should get a gel mat. After reading the glorious reviews I decided to purchase the slippers instead. My feet and back are SO happy. Excellent arch support, wonderful cushioning, true to size. I may never take them off my feet!

I love them. Perfect for my wide foot.

I bought these for my husband. He has plantar fasciitis and cannot go 'barefoot' around the house and he must have good support in anything he wears on his feet. These slippers are very well made, have excellent arch support, and are extremely comfortable. They are worth the money.

Can't say enough good things about Giesswein Veitsch. Warm, comfy, supportive, nonslip, dry, ventilated, happy feet.

Love, love, love these shoes/slippers....since I consider them both slippers but also shoes you can wear ourside. I have plantar fasciitis and really needed a slipper that would give me great support. This shoe is wonderful!

I got these for my boyfriend. He thought it was ridiculous that I would pay over $100 for a slipper. He initially rejected them out of principle. But then he eventually came around, and now he wears them every day 8 months out of the year. He has metal plates in one foot, and so he is really picky when it comes to comfort. And they are worth every penny -- They are as good as new three years later. And they do not smell, which I consider a miracle of sorts.

These are one of the best pairs of slippers that I have found for my problem feet. I have flat feet, hammertoe and Plantar Fasciitis. These slippers are very comfortable in spite of my problem feet.

Great, supportive, warm slippers, but definitely size UP! I wear a size 8 US and normally 38 Euro, but the 39 in these slippers fits me precisely right. Even the slightest bit smaller my heel would be hanging off the back. I'm so glad I listened to other's advice and got the larger size because I love these slippers!

LOVE THESE. Need the size up, which they are out of.
