Customer Reviews Giesswein Vent

I am so happy I bought these slippers. They have great arch support and hug your feet with soft wool. A word about the sizing: I wear a size 7.5 or 8 or 38 in all other shoes. Following others' comments and the sizing instructions on the site I ordered a 40. It was big and almost fell off my foot when I walked. I ordered a 39 and it fits good although my toe is at the top. A 39.5 would probably be best but that's not an option. I have a high arch and high instep and was able to get the slipper on with no problem.

I absolutely love this slipper. It is basically the most perfect shoe I have ever owned, I just wish they made it with some summery material. I'm basically still wearing these around the house as long as it's below 80 degrees because they're that comfortable. I have narrow bony feet, my arches are super high and the balls of my feet jut out, and some of my toes are getting a bit of a hammer, and I have bone spurs on the backs of my heels. Pretty, right? And I wear a heel lift in one of my shoes, and lucky for me, the insoles of these slippers come out and I can put it underneath without any problems. It's hard for me to find shoes that I love. And these slippers are amazing! Worth every penny. I could go on, but I think you get the point.

These slippers have comfort and appearance as well as excellent arch support and non slip soles. On top of Zappos' outstanding service and standing behind their products.

Warm, comfortable shoe. Great arch support.

Love these slippers. I like to wear socks in my slippers and I get too warm in the ones with fuzzy insides. These keep my feet toasty, yet not sweaty. They have awesome arch support, roomy toe box, and I can wear my heel lift comfortably. I'm buying a second pair in henna, kind of want one in each color!

Fit is good. For those with medium to wide feet they will fit better. These slippers are truly all year round with the wool tops. Feet don't sweat with or without socks. Worth the cost.

These slippers are wonderful! I've never spent so much for slippers before, but these are well worth the price. I wear a 7.5 and have narrow feet. These (size 39) are a bit wide and long without socks, but fit perfectly with any type of sock. I think these would fit someone with a wide foot no problem.

Heaven On Earth! Standing in Manolo's all day? Come home to the comfort of these slippers. Not only will your feet feel wonderful but, the inserts will help your posture. Plus, they're washable! The Giesswein Vent is a Must for those of us with Rheumatoid Arthritis or Diabetes 2. Don't think twice - just buy them. You won't regret it and your feet will thank you!

These are great slippers that can be worn outside too! There is strong arch support and the sole protects you from debris and wetness. I particularly like the cinch at the top of the foot because these do stretch out a little and the cinch keeps them secure to the foot. I even wear these on overseas plane trips because I can wear my compression socks with them, kick them on and off on the plane and wear them to the place we're staying without looking too weird!

These slippers/shoes are tremendous! I usually wear a 42, and they fit perfectly, but sizes may have changed from season to season. That said, to get the color (red!) I wanted, I had to go down to a 41 and they really are okay, as well. Because I wear heavy socks, or go barefoot, I also have a size 43, but what I notice most about the different sizes is the footbed differences. If you've had Keen sandals, Birkenstock, you know what sort of support and cushioning you'll get here, too. I plan on wearing them in the summer, because the wool temperature regulates so well!

Perfect footwear. After thousands of dollars of orthotics over the last 10 years, I finally found some relief for my ball of foot bursitis. I've even taken the insoles out to use in others shoes. Looking to buy the insole only for work shoes.

I've had my pair of Giesswein Vent wool slippers now for over four years and continue to absolutely love them. Wearing them daily throughout the winter months, all aspects of these wonderful slippers have held up extremely well. A no-brainer purchase for someone who's looking for a comfortable, good looking, breathable, wool winter slipper for years to come.

I love these shoes/slippers. I wear them all day. They are comfortable enough to use as slippers, but are also great to wear out to the store or anywhere casual. They are a perfect year-round weight. They are nice and wide. I don't have wide feet but like the extra width anyway. And you can tighten them with the draw string. I would definitely buy another pair of these or another of this brand again.

These are the most comfortable slippers I have ever owned. I wear them around the house all day when I am home because they give such great support and are incredibly comfortable.

These are normally more pricey than I would have liked, but I ordered a pair for my husband and thought the quality was great. They look like they are going to hold up for many years. The wool is not itchy--the arch support is way better than what slippers usually offer. The bottom are as solid as can be for those of us who cannot go barefoot around the house any longer and yet the slipper is still very comfortable to wear with or without socks. I have very warm feet and wear socks inside because they sweat a bit, but my feet are not overheated which was a big surprise to me! My husband wears his barefooted and says they are the best he's ever owned. I agree with hubby-these really are awesome. I work on my feet in a hospital so I feel confidant people with sore feet will be happy even at this price. Although the slipper has a drawstring that I've never had before, I like that it can customize the fit. It is not an elastic string so I think it will hold up fine. Worst case scenario is that it needs replacing down the road and that's not a deal breaker at all. I think I have a slightly wide foot and the shoe width is generous. I am a size 5 1/2 -6 so I ordered both 36 and 37, and I kept the 36 and it's just right with a little to spare.

I love these slippers! I have foot issues and ordered /returned at least 5 other brands until I found these. It's the first slipper I've found with real arch support. I've had them about a month and they seem to be holding their shape as well.

These are fantastic! I love them! Warm, comfortable, and really good arch support. They absolutely run a size smaller. I'm a solid 45. Ordered a 45 & 46, kept the 46. Enjoy!

Great arch support, plus warmth and comfort. Finally! A pair of slippers I can crush my beer cans with!

Great shoe. My husband puts them on as soon as he gets home from work. Comfortable and looks good.

On the advice of virtually every purchaser, I ordered up a full size a size from what I usually wear. I am almost always a women's size 8, so I ordered a 40 (US Women's 9). Unfortunately, they are just too big for me. I am guessing that I am a "small" 8 (slightly bigger than a 7.5) and the 39 would have been fine. Am giving these to my sister, who should be happy in them, and I will reorder in a 39 when they come available in the black. Otherwise, a great shoe. FYI, I have been happily wearing the Keen Howser wool slipper, which has NOT held up well. It is supportive, warm and comfortable, but given the price, I expected it to last a couple of years. It has not.

This awesome slipper is true to size - I'm not sure what people are talking about in these reviews. I am a normal (no foot issues) medium width size 8-8.5. I wear a 39 euro shoe and ordered a 40 (and a 39) based on comments posted here. The 39 fit perfectly (even a touch roomy). EXCELLENT arch support which is perfect as I was looking for some relief from my hard wood floors (I spend a lot of time cooking in the kitchen). Couldn't be more pleased. Worth every penny.

Based on a few reviews, I purchased one size larger than I normally wear. It was a mistake -- the shoe was too large. I have re-ordered based on the fact that the shoe size is accurate as advertised.

Love these slippers. Got used to arch support in minutes. I wear a 9 or 9 1/2 shoe size, and the size 40 is perfect. Highly recommend this slipper.

After several go around with sizing I arrived at my regular size and don't believe the reviews that say these run large! Just order your normal size. I wear a size 6.5 US and the 37s are perfect. Awesome shoe/slippers. Toasty. Good footbed.
