We treat our wool fabrics differently than other companies, focusing specifically on our treatment of wool and sustainable wool use. This creates unique fabrics made of 100% wool. These products absorb and can carry away more moisture - and can keep you warmer - than other wool. In the footwear industry, 20% of cut material is pure waste and is lost forever. We've found a new way to process our wool while producing 0% waste.

I would not trust this company!

I will say that I like the products, you know when they ship them to me. I bought an insert for my slippers. I never got them! I showed my receipt to a customer service rep and still she ( Tanja) argued with me saying that I didn’t purchase them well, my credit card says otherwise. This has been going on for months! So just be careful when you order,it’s a gamble. I don’t know about you but I’m way too busy of a person to deal with this kind of crap! I will never order from this company again!

I struggled between a 2 and 3 when it comes to the pair of mens runners in arctic white I got. I generally wear anywhere between a 10.5-11 but usually a 11 and I went with that as it is the fit for other European brands I have purchased like børn and ecco and if I were wearing these shoes just casually then it would be fine, but any sort of prolonged movement in these shoes cause horrible blisters on the heel, especially is worn without socks which they are advertised as being fit for. The unfortunate thing is that the same spot on both heels will start blistering after just 1km of activity. If they could see what the back of my heel looks like after a 3km run after having had them for 2 months so plenty of time to break in. This shoe will rip your skin off

Shoes availability is awesome!

I chose this shoe store because I loved the variety of shoes on available. There are many various shoes to choose from that can be worn in every weather. I'd like to mention out that the costs here aren't high at all, and they're even lower when compared with the rest of the market. Highly recommended!!

Low prices

I always think that if you have good shoes, then probably you look stylish. I don't know why I am used to suppose like that, but it seems to me it's right. So, as you may know I'm fond of buying shoes, because of my prejudices. I chose this shoe store mainly because I liked the assortment presented here. There are plenty of various shoes which you can wear in any weather. I ordered couple of pairs and now I finally got them. I want to state that prices here aren't high at all, they're even lower if we consider the whole market. I believe that I will apply here once again.

Great supportive slippers, but with issues.

My partner bought me Giesswein slippers as an early Xmas present. I retired about 2 years ago and thanks to a combination of retirement and Covid lockdowns had been spending far longer in slippers than I used to. And cheap slippers at that, offering no support for my feet. I started getting pain in my feet, the right one in particular. Within a few days of ditching the slippers and wearing outdoor shoes in the house, the pain subsided. An online search for supportive slippers found Giesswein and, overall, my new Giesswein slippers are great! A bit like walking on small cans of baked beans, but that’s them doing their job of supporting my arches, and I’m getting use to them. But no foot pain! There was an issue over sizing though which is one reason why I’m giving them 4 stars and not 5 stars. I measured my feet as per advice on the Giesswein website which led me to believe I should order UK size 7s. But I’ve taken UK size 9s (or sometimes 9 1/2s) for years, so there was no way I was going to order 7s. But the advice also said to order as per your normal shoe size, so that was rather contradictory. Anyway, I ordered UK size 9’s and, once I got them on, they fitted fine. But getting them on wasn’t easy - unlike other slippers they don’t have elasticated gussets and 3 days since they arrived I can only get them on using a shoe horn. Hopefully they’ll give a bit in time to allow me to dispense with the shoe horn, but I hope they don’t go all sloppy on me. So that’s a further reason for only awarding 4 stars not 5.

Oh how I regret ordering from these…

Oh how I regret ordering from these people.
Firstly the delivery time. Unbelievably poor. Have taken 2 weeks to deliver. They talked about overwhelming demand but I just don’t buy it …not for these slippers anyway

How disappointing. They talk about how the business started with their grandmother. I mean no disrespect but I think she must still be making them. They feel really cheap and flimsy and you can feel all the inside stitching. Really poorly made. They have tried some clever marketing by saying that it’s a barefoot experience!!! What even is that? But they are right, it feels like you are walking on the floor. Terrible
I can’t even go through the pain and hassle of sending them back so will be consigned to the bin and will put it down to experience.
Wool pops were the ones I bought. Stay clear.

Beanie is nice, dumb shipping dept.

Bought the Beanie Troiseck. Nice hat. It was darker than the pink color in the picture. Got a Honey discount on the transaction.
BUT they sent it in a too large box that the bottom wasn't taped and part of the box was already ripped. It could have easily fallen out.
FedEx gave me good-enough tracking, from Germany, and a French airport to USA.

Bad customer support

Bought a pair of mens Merino shoes, lace hole came away from material. Want to reorder, you cannot contact them, their staff are never available by chat. The discount codes they offer never arrive by SMS so you cannot use them. They have no contact number on their site which I find unacceptable in this day and age. Nice products let down by really bad after sales.

Thank you Giesswein for the super-supported slippers! I've never had a rubber bottom and wanted more support but not a feeling where I would stick to the floor in the house and trip. (as I had 3 hip surgeries!) But, I received my slippers and they exceeded my expectations! Thank you! A new customer and I will return!!!!! ❤️

Cute & Comfortable

I'm 57 and have been experiencing heel pain in my right foot. These slippers make my heel feel less painful. Must be something about the design, but I'm happy they make my heel feel better. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is that they are slightly short for a 42. I'm typically a 10.5 in American sizes and I was hoping the 42 would be closer to a size 11.

Pretty great

Pretty great, comfortable and look fab. Not quite 5 stars as sometimes they rub on the back of my heels and they are very hard to keep clean as things like to stick to the wool

Look good. No availability in many styles

These look really nice... I’m trying very hard to order a pair of women’s sneakers, grey, size 7. The adverts keep popping up on social media, but there are none available in any size, in many colours inc grey. Any idea when they might be back in stock as I need to buy a pair soon or will have to go elsewhere. Thanks.

I ordered online from New Zealand some…

I ordered online from New Zealand some shoes and a cape. There was no mention of American dollars even at checkout until you actually paid and I didn't notice until I saw the bank statement so a $100 cape become $130 etc This is very dishonest most online sites ask what currency you want so its clear from the onset. I tried to cancel within half an hour and was told they had already left which I can't believe to be true so quickly. I was told u could send them back and get a refund. I decided to keep the shoes but the cape is not as nice as I thought. To send this back was going to cost me $88 so hardly worth it.
I advise people to be very careful when buying online or you can be stuck with an expensive item.

Dear Angela,

Thank you for your comments on your purchase experience with Giesswein!

We are deeply sorry you have had such a bad experience with our shopping process. Indeed the prices are shown only in USD and this is also shown at the beginning and also on your shopping cart.

I will be happy to pass on your feedback internally.

Our return policy is clearly stated in our online shop and unfortunatelly New Zealand is not eligible for a free return.

We would like to apologize for the experience you've had in general and as small compensation, we would like to offer you a discount on your next order. You can get your discount code by contacting us at shop@giesswein.com.

Yours sincerelly,
Laura

Falling apart within 4 months

I got my slippers for Christmas since I was pregnant and wanted something comfortable. They started falling apart in early April. The cork split and the fabric is pulling. I’m super disappointed.

Design Fault.

Hi there, I purchased a pair of red shoes from you two or three months ago. I was well pleased with them. Last week I developed a sore on the back of my left foot but in over a week it hasn’t healed.
On examination I discovered that there is a ridge at the inside of the back of my shoes which is rubbing the skin off my foot. The stitches at the back of the shoes go through to the inside of the shoe and this is causing my problem. I believe it is a design fault. The stitches should be done first and not go through to the interior of the shoe. I would be happy to send the shoes to you for your inspection. -I Isabel.

Great slippers, lovely company - shame they use Fedex

Firstly - the slippers are truly lovely. The people at Giesswein customer service are helpful.

But the delivery service from Fedex was truly terrible. They never delivered the original slippers, and a different pair had to be sent. And that was after hours of my life chasing them up.

So - great, great product.
Great great team.

Sadly let down by their delivery company.
