Cool shoes — cool feet

Merino wool is truly multi-talented. Thanks to its positive properties, it’s both temperature- and moisture-regulating. The natural fibers that make up Merino wool store moisture internally, which it then gradually wicks towards the outside. These evaporative properties are what make Merino wool so comfortable in warm temperatures—and leaves your skin feeling nice and cool.
