Customer Reviews Giesswein Veitsch

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.

These are the shoes I wear the moment I get home, and I came back for more the moment my old pair were worn out. I like that I can go outside to pick up the mail in these, and yet they are ultra comfy. They have enough toe room that I can wiggle my toes regardless of what kind of socks I'm wearing. In the summer they're not too hot, and in the winter my feet never freeze. Between the arch support and the soles I can go about on my hardwood floors without aching all the time. I doubt there's a better pair of slippers out there. BTW, I usually have problems with slippers staying on, but that little bit of heel makes all the difference, without rubbing.

These slippers are very comfortable. The arch support is moderate and toe-box is roomy. Because of the wide toe box it may run a little big so ordering one size down may be the way to go. I did that (36 vs 37) and found that the fit was good. One word of caution for those who wear socks with their slippers. In that case you may want to order your normal size.

I live in a historic stone bunkhouse with quarry tile floors and at the end of a long day working the ranch my feet are already sore, and then dang that floor is hard with regular Ugh slippers (formerly my favorite). I splurged for these because I'm 62 and life's too short for sore feet at the end of the day. These are terrific slippers. They fit snug out of the box--and I have narrow (B) feet. Initially the soles and arch felt stiff, but after two days' use they're a perfect fit barefoot, and snug with boot socks. They do have more sole and heel thickness than a flat slipper, so I have to pay attention and not "fall off" the heel, but that's my problem. My only regret is that I didn't buy these years ago.

Very comfortable both indoors and out. I have a fairly thin-medium wide foot and they stay on fine. It took about three times of wearing them to "break them in."

Warm, supportive and comfortable. Better with socks, but I will only wear these in the winter anyway. Nice color in the blue.
