Customer Reviews Giesswein Veitsch

Best slip-ons ever! Breathable wool so feet stay warm but not too hot. Not clunky like some clogs are. LOVE THESE!

I wore UGGs for years. The quality started going down so I started looking for something else. I have all hard floors throughout my entire house. These slippers were absolutely, perfectly, comfortable and cozy from the moment I put them on. Giesswein is my new go to!! Love, love, love!

I sized up as some of the reviews stated they ran small, this is not true as the pair I received were 1/2 size too large but I have an high arch and instep so the extra length won’t be an issue. The right arch fit perfectly, the left didn’t but within a day it molded to my foot and now they are perfect.

I purchased these shoes to wear as slippers in the house. I have high arches, high instep, and plantar fasciitis, which has become excruciating over the past couple of months. Last time I went through this it lasted 2.5 years, despite orthotics and cortisone injections in my foot. This time, it's both feet. I read several reviews on here that these shoes relieve plantar fasciitis pain. I can absolutely confirm this is true. I wear these shoes constantly when in the house, and switch to street shoes when out of the house. I have had virtually no pain! The arch support is excellent, and there is no issue with the uppers cutting into my instep. They do run small. I normally wear a size 9 in women, sometimes 9 1/2. I ordered size 42 in these, which is a little big, but fine when wearing regular (not thick) socks. I have not had a "breaking in" period; they were comfortable from the first day.

Love these slippers!!! So durable

The fit was great. Very soft and cushy. Well made. However, the arch support was just a bit too much for me. If you're looking for a comfy slipper with super arch support, this slipper is for you. If arch support is too high, I get tendinitis of the foot.

Very comfortable and fit perfect right out of the box. I took advice from other reviewers and ordered one size up, which was a good call. My usual size would absolutely be too small. The color is a much darker gray than pictured, but not bad. I like it, just don’t expect anything remotely silvery. It’s dark gray. These slippers feel quite sturdy but still soft and comfortable. I think I could get away with wearing them out to a casual get together or restaurant, as they do not look like fuzzy house slippers. The arch support is firm and excellent, works well for my plantar fasciitis. Whether it’s to keep my feet warm at home or on a run to the grocery store, these slippers are great.

This shoe has good arch support which is why I ordered it. I have plantar fasciitis and need a supportive slipper. I read other reviews and decided to order a size larger and they fit perfectly.

I returned the first pair that I had ordered a size up, it was too loose.(size 10). the 9.5 was just right. very comfortable, full toe box and good arch support as described. They did soften after some wear, but easily remains on my feet without slipping . for me, definitely worth the price, since I have worn them most of the day when I am home. not to warm for southern california.

Perfect fit and exactly what I have been searching for the last 2 winters. Every time I put them on me and my feet are happy! I am replacing the closed Giessweins, but I think these are cuter and less loose. You won’t have to worry about them slipping off your fit. They are snug, but not tight. Love them!!!

My poor feet love the support from these slippers. Excellent arch support. I wear slipper most of the time when I'm home so I wanted good arch support. took a few days to get use to them as another reviewer said think Berkinstock. Pricey but my feet thank me

Love the house slippers. Did exchange for a full size larger. Quick return and received the larger size fast. Love the arch support these have. So comfortable!

Perfect house shoe. I have fallen arches, occasional knee and back pain, so I need support all the time. The arch support is firm and on par with Birkenstock (without the toe ridge). I keep these by the door and change into them as soon as I get home. They're the only shoes I'll wear in the house. I even wear them when I have company over. The soles don't mark my floors. The wool may seem like something you'd only consider wearing in the winter, but they don't make my feet hot in summer (I do keep socks on to keep the inside clean). They're great year round.

Based on other reviews here, I chose a size 45 / US 12, though I usually wear US 10 1/2 or US 11. The 12 turned out to be a very good fit for me. They are very comfortable and the arch support is perfect for me. I also tried 3 pairs of Haflingers, however all the ones I tried bumped my little toe. So the Haflingers all got returned, and the Giessweins won. Comfortable with and without socks. Easy enough to slip on and off, but they don't fall off the foot, thanks to the behind-the-ankle part that's just the right height. Supposedly machine washable, though I haven't needed to wash them yet. And I love the way they look. Ok for indoor/outdoor; I only wear them in the yard (not on the street) but the yard includes tall wet grass. They're good with a little water, still keeping the feet warm ... haven't ever gotten them soaking. I'm truly happy that these keep my feet warm without overheating. They were expensive, but I expect to get many years of good service from them.

I bought these for my 84 year old mom. She has painful feet with bunions, calluses, soft corns, Morton's Neuroma and has difficulty putting on most shoes. She has tried many other brands and styles but did not feel comfortable in any of them. This is the only clog/slipper that so far (it's been 10 days) that she has felt comfortable in. It is summer here now and I expected the wool to cause her feet to overheat which happens frequently with her. Surprisingly the wool appears to regulate her foot temperature and is breathable. It keeps her feet warm but not hot. The insole is cork and I was concerned it might be too hard for her (she's tried cork-soled Birkenstocks before and found the insole too hard). However this insole feels comfortable. This is an expensive Austrian slipper but well worth the investment. It is well engineered and made of high quality materials. It looks cute too. Now I'm thinking of buying her the Giesswein Vent for when she needs to walk outdoors.

Perfect

These are pretty darn perfect. I have been wearing them daily for over 4 months. I have tried Kuru, Vionic and Orthofeet slippers and none of them have worked. I work at home and am on my feet a lot. I dislike wearing shoes in the house, but I need support for plantar fasciitis. These are expensive, but I thought they were worth a try. I have high arches and these are the first slippers I have found that truly offer enough support. They are very comfortable and there was no "break-in" period. These slippers don't give you a cozy warm feel, but my feet are never hot or never cold. The only issue is the wool stretches a bit. I NEVER wear socks with them, because I don't want to stretch them out. They are definitely looser on me now, but they stay on my feet and still work. I highly recommend.

Heavy, high-quality house shoes with really high arch support. My husband loves them.

I am an 8-1/2 and I ordered a 39 European. They fit perfectly. I choked at the price, but I ordered them anyway. They’re warm, and so comfortable that I have forgotten to take them off a couple of times when going out. I don’t look like a slob anymore in my sheepskin UGGs. They look like shoes. LOVE THEM

I LOVE these shoes and have been living in them ever since they arrived. The key to getting the right fit is to check the Size Chart and measure your foot. I normally wear a size 10 but when I looked at the Size Chart, I realized I would need a size 11. They fit perfectly.

Most comfortable slipper ever. Too warm for anytime but winter, but perfect then.

I love these shoes! I first tried Hafflingers but they have changed considerably since I last bought them and they were way too big. These fit, have a comfortable arch, and look great with jeans.

Fit was barefoot (wide, high volume foot) perfect but snug with socks.

I purchased these to replace some 20-year-old Geissweins in a similar style. My feet are size 5 1/2, and I usually order size 36 in European sizing. But after reading the reviews for the Veitsch, I ordered a size 37, and they fit well. Size 36 would have definitely been too small. I bought them in Sapphire Blue, and am pleased with the color, which I think adds a note of whimsy. The Veitsch is very comfortable, with generous wiggle room for my toes. My feet are wide, though I am able to wear medium width shoes in some brands. I am able to wear the Veitsch very comfortably with bare feet or with thin cotton socks, but they are too narrow if I wear thicker socks. I received these about a week ago, and have been wearing them daily during recent wintry weather. They are excellent house shoes. There was no break in period. The sole is slip resistant. They are just what I was looking for.

I wish they fit. They're too small and I ordered 1/2 size up. Great support and comfortable if they fit right. I love the color too.
