Customer Reviews Giesswein Veitsch

This is a quality item, but it was kust to tight and uncomfortable.

my husband normally wears a 13 D but these were too small which we have returned and received a pair of Size 14 today which are a perfect fit? so i think possibly Euro sizes may be a bit smaller, or too narrow. my size 11s were perfect for me.

I really wanted to like these. They are pretty wide and had very good support. For me, the arch support was just a little too much and I have high arches. I also didnt like feeling the back edge rub on my foot. Not uncomfortable, just strange feeling. The length fit sinilar to birkenstock arizona model for me.

Thankfully I read reviews for this product and ordered a size up. They are the most comfortable shoe I have. They are house slippers so the style is really not what I bought them for. I recently broke my foot and ankle, so I can no longer walk barefoot in the house and these offer amazing support! Would 100% recommend these.

I really wanted to love these. The foot is fabulous for my high arch, truly so comfortable and the wool is a beautiful blue&black. But it feels like it’s stretched out and is going to fall off my foot. For the money it has to perfect, sorrry it’s going back.

good slipper shoe, sole is a bit heavy and broad toe a bit clunky

I literally read all the reviews twice to figure out what size I'd be in these slippers. I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly. For reference, I wear a 7.5 in most casual shoes, 8 or 8.5 in running shoes and boots. They're comfortable, but I wouldn't say 'amazing' like others have said. There's a little too much arch support for me, but I needed more than nothing. I like the style and would wear these with skinny jeans out if these weren't house slippers.

Much too small. I ordered a size 13, which is my normal size, and I couldn't even fit my feet all the way in.

I have mixed feelings about these slippers, but only because the top of the slippers doesn't cover as much of your foot as other slip ons I've had--in other words, the opening at the top is more oval shaped so the slippers hit the top of your foot further from the ankle. This makes the slipper feel like it's got less of a purchase on your foot. For me, it's also an issue because I have bone spurs, and the top opening stretches across them, which is slightly uncomfortable. On the other hand, the arch support is transcendent and feels amazing and the slippers are really well made.

I'm an 8.5 (39) and had tried a size up as suggested. The 40 was still too short. The 41 fits well! The arch feels high for my flat feet but I know the cork will mold to my foot. They are a bit wide in the front, but so are my feet so they work for me. I like the rubber sole and substantial feel. I think they'll help my back, which has been hurting after standing in the kitchen for hours.

I got these for house shoes because I need a lot of foot support. These do have a really high and firm arch support, in fact a little too high for me. I could have taken out the orthotic like insole and put my rx orthotics in but then it's just a slipper shell with my orthotics in them and not worth the $. The great part about these is the insole. If you have a high arch I think this would be the shoe for you. I couldn't imagine these working for my poor feet, so I went with the Haflinger Grizzly instead. More moderate arch and good support.

The only knock I have against these shoes is the cost. Otherwise they are very warm and the arch support is much better than most house slippers. The outsole also has a little give which adds some cushion and also grip. For what it's worth, I've only worn these indoors, but if outside wasn't covered in snow, I think short trips outside would be okay.

Overpriced for what they are, houseshoes. Great arch support, but the insoles are suede, and thus when they get dirty, they are not washable. The shoes make my feet hot unless it is a really cold day and the house is also somewhat cold.

I really wanted to love these. Was looking for a slipper that offered more arch support than my Uggs. There's an attempt at a footbed with arch support but it landed in the wrong spot on my foot and wasn't enough (I have very high arches). I ended up getting a very similar pair of Stegmann's. Zappos doesn't carry that brand because I think it's not mass produced? Anyway, they were life changing. Feel great, eliminated foot pain, excellent arch support and warm but never too warm or sweaty feet. They are not cheap.

Very nice slippers. I am a women's 10.5. The 42 was too small. These slippers have a lot of transverse arch support, meaning they have support in the center of the foot, below the ball of the foot and between the outer and inner arches. Unfortunately, they just weren't meant for me, but I can see why people love them.

Normally I love this brand but the left side squeaks, so back it goes.

I had to go to a size 47 which I have never worn before ( 46 was too tight) . The issue was they felt like my feet were sliding out of them all the time. I went back to my Haflingers which I had before.

Sorry to say I don’t believe these slippers are worth the price. I ordered up a size as recommended by some reviewers, however, they were too large but I also believe they ran narrow. They were heavy and not cozy for slippers. When I opened the box, the paper meant to cover the slippers was torn, wrinkled not over the shoes. More and more of the shoes I receive from Zappos are messy. I was going to give these slippers as a gift, but there is no way I would give a gift that looked used - not pristine and new. They also had hair on them. Surely I’m not the only one getting so many used shoes that aren’t even checked before shipping to make sure they are packed nicely. Of course, these slippers were returned.

Beautiful material in uppers. Ordered my regular 39 that I always wear in Birkenstock’s. My toes went all the way to the tip, so I ordered 40. Okay size. (I wear 8 or 8-1/2 women’s). They were not flexible! Watch the video. The guy looks like he’s walking on wooden clogs! They are only flexible when you remove the innersole. So, what’s the point?

These are excellent cold weather wool slippers mainly for wearing indoors. They are well made and toasty. The main problem - and this is a serious one -- is that the sizing is way off. I bought a 43 men's, the largest size available, and it was supposed to be a US 10. In reality, it has to have been a US 8.5, closer to a EU 41.5 than an EU 43. So they are a size and a half smaller than marked. I am not sure how or why this happened. If you know this in advance and adjust your order accordingly, you can get a size that works for you.

My husband needed a house shoe with support. After browsing Zappos and reading reviews, I found out about this brand. We did order a full size up, as all the reviews said that they were small. My feet are only half a size smaller than my husband's, and these slippers felt GREAT. They had excellent arch support. However, they are not for people with high arches, like my husband. He could not even get his foot into the slipper to try them out! I got out my ruler, because the top of the slipper is so low. There is only 1.75 inches of clearance for sliding one's foot in. For what it's worth, I chose the less-expensive and only slightly-less-supportive Haflingers, and I love them.

I tried three sizes to try to make this slipper work. The correct size was way too small. The problem with all the sizes is that the top of the toe is not high enough. Only in the size that was way too big for me was the slipper not pushing down on my big toe. The arch support was amazing and I wish I could have made them work, but due to the cost, I was very particular about getting a good and comfortable fit.

Ordered my husband's size, however with the liner in, he said it is too small. He took out the liner, so now they are loose on his feet. He is thinking that if the slipper stretches out. he will put the liners back in. He decided to keep the slippers anyway and hope they work out for him

Runs small and narrow

This house shoe seemed way too big for me and I just clopped in them. The heel did not fit at all. Had to return them.
