Customer Reviews Giesswein Vent

finally a slipper and shoe to wear outside. Very hard to fit, need wide toe box and some height for damaged toes. This is perfect. Wear a 40 normally and always had to size up with this brand. Nice arch support. Love the square toe box, the way shoes should be so not to damage feet

I got these for myself and my boyfriend. We wear them almost every day fall through spring for two years now. They're as good as new. They do what slippers should do - be warm and comfy, but they really do wear more like a Birkenstock in terms of support, which is what makes them so great. Eventually the cork will mold to your feet and you too, will become one with your German house slippers. These are not fashionable, unless your idea of fashionable is kind of geriatric, but hey, they are slippers. The point is function over form. I embrace the ergonomics. Oh and bonus points - they are impervious to foot stank!

Ouch that arch LOL I have wide flat feet and overpronate. The arch in this shoe is just too high. I also sized up like many people recommended and they were at least a size too big. I'm going to try one of their less aggressive styles because the quality is awesome and the wool so soft.

I love these shoes. Perfect to wear around the house in the winter; excellent arch support.

The best slipper ever!!! This is my second pair of Giesswein and I love them. Great quality and exceptionally comfortable. I like the fact that my feet are warm but not hot like some slippers. They actually let your feet breathe. I'm definitely a customer for life.

Love these slippers, they're very comfortable and functional. They keep your feet warm without overheating. Perfect for those of us who suffer from plantar fasciitis.

I absolutely love these slippers! Wonderfully warm, fantastic arch support and cute to boot :)

I wanted a house shoe with excellent arch support. I'm uncomfortable going barefooted yet I didn't want to be tracking dirt into the house. These shoes are perfect. I could wear them all day long with no pain in my feet or legs. They have a removable cork insert that provides good arch support and they can adjusted for a snug fit around the ankle. They are not house slippers in that you can't just slip your foot it. You do need to put them on. But once they're on you'll never want to take them off. They run about a half size big. I wear a 7.5 to 8 and I ordered a 38. The arch hits me in just the right place. Highly recommended!

I LOVE THESE SLIPPERS! Worth every penny. The arch support is incredible. I love the wool material, warm and cozy but not too hot.

Wonderful, wonderful! Great fit and comfort.

Great shoe to hop to grocery store or anywhere short distance. Attractive, too.. My narrow foot in size 8 did not fit well: too short in length and too wide in width. I love the style and color. Sorry I couldn't keep them

These run true to size. After reading the reviews, I got a size smaller and they were too short.

Right out of the box, these felt amazing. I recently fractured my 2nd metatarsal and needed a house shoe that was comfy and had excellent support. I can't do a clog style because I'm going up and down stairs, carrying my baby around all day. I need something that stays safely on my foot. This fits the bill. I can possibly finally stop wearing shoes in my house with these slippers. My issue with most slippers are 1) the get too hot and sweaty and 2) lack of support. This slipper/house shoe handles both problems. Very satisfied.

Love this slipper, it has the best arch support, very comfortable and cozy. Love the fact that they are washable.

I have been looking for a closed slipper (as opposed to a slide) for a few years, and I need arch support. This slipper is excellent with one caveat. I have a high instep and the high throat puts pressure on my instep. I'm going to try to stretch it while damp, and remove the tie, and hope that will help. But overall, an excellent slipper. Also, the pressure on the instep creates friction on my skin from the zigzag stitching at that point, so that also is troublesome. Still, I think I can play with this. If I can ease that opening a bit, I would enthusiastically give it 5 stars for comfort. And note, warm without being suffocating.

Love these slippers. Have had a pair for at least 10 years which I love. I don't wear them very often, mainly because I like slides, and these take more effort to put on. At the time they didn't make slides. I bought them when I lived in Europe. They are comfy, but I think slightly small to marked size.

Love these slippers! Comfortable with great arch support! True to size. Because of the support & sole, I wear them a lot! Highly recommend these slippers/ shoes.

I'm a slipper snob and I wear slippers 100% of the time I'm inside. I have associated price with quality as far as slippers go, and have always ultimately been very disappointed. SO FAR, these are absolutely the best quality and feel of any slipper I've ever tried over my last 15 years of slippers. I was hesitant because of the price but took a chance. Extremely pleased and couldn't be happier with these. The slipper itself is as good as it gets, but the insole is the big stand out.

Slippers are FAB. So Fab that they are the best Slippers that I have ever owned.

Wonderful! So comfortable. After years of searching for the right slipper I have found them!

Fantastic slippers, worth every penny. They are comfortable, warm but not too warm, soft, and attractive (for a slipper). The arch support is excellent. The sole is pliable, and gets good traction on wood and tile floors. The quality is superb -- I am certain these will last a very long time, even with daily wear. I work from home, and these are my go-to shoes. I hesitated because of the price, but am really glad I splurged. Love them!

Love the arch support for overpronation. Normally wear orthotics in all my shoes but do not need at all for these. Can wear all day at home in great comfort. I only wish I dared to wear as a shoe when I go out and about - but I did buy the red ones. Maybe try in dark color. Size 41 for womens size 9.5 and I do think runs a bit small but not too small. I have put sheep's wool in the toes for a tiny bit extra padding as the toes box is quite stiff (not gonna get holes in the toes of these slippers unlike Ugg boots which always get holes with a lot of wear). They are extremely well made and I am sure they will last for years so are worth the high price. I bought another style of Giesswein last year and they have worn very well with almost daily wear.

I have an arch problem and these slippers are absolutely great in the arch and great in overall comfort. I have never seen anything like it. Please disregard my five stars on style. I think they look great, but I am a poor evaluator for style.

This is the best slipper that I have ever owned. I called Zappos to return a pair of slippers that I had bought earlier this season as after one month the tread was gone, and the very helpful sales associate suggested others for me to try. I chose this one and am extremely happy with them. I know this may sound crazy, but I look forward to coming home from work to put on my slippers. They are extraordinarily comfortable, warm (but not too warm), and hard great arch support. While they are pricey, after wearing them for a month I can honestly say that they are worth the money. They are also extremely well made, and I do not foresee having to buy new slippers for a number of years to come. I highly recommend these!
