Why Our Shoes Are So Comfortable—and What’s Behind It
When shoes truly fit well, you hardly notice them—and that’s exactly our goal. No pinching, no sweating, no tedious breaking-in: instead, a feeling that accompanies you from the very first step. The key lies in carefully selected materials, smart construction, and an eye for detail. Above all, merino wool plays the leading role: it makes our styles soft, breathable, and flexible. In this post, you’ll learn what sets our shoes apart—and which models suit your everyday life or training.
What Makes Our Shoes Special
Merino wool is the heart of our designs. It regulates temperature, actively wicks moisture, and feels pleasantly soft on the skin—without itching. Complementing this is our 3D knit technology, which enables an almost seamless, pressure-free fit that flexibly adapts to your foot shape. Lightweight, cushioning soles create a springy feel, while a balanced footbed supports your natural stride. Because mindful design matters to us, we use renewable resources like merino wool—for comfort that feels good and is thoughtfully made.
Two Models That Prove It
For everyday wear, the Merino Runner impresses with 3D stretch merino that minimizes pressure points and actively wicks moisture outward—ideal when you want lasting freshness. The lightweight EVA sole supports a natural roll. For more dynamism, there’s the Wool Peak: its especially durable Woolfinity knit offers shape stability and freedom of movement, and the midsole supports cushioning and gentle energy return. Breathable merino properties and a grippy sole make it a reliable partner—whether for a city stroll or an active break. That’s how comfort becomes light, flexible, and noticeable every day.
Merino Runners
Ready for your new favorite everyday shoe? The Merino Runners deliver 360° comfort thanks to premium merino: breathable, temperature-regulating, and surprisingly soft—even a pleasure barefoot. The flexible upper adapts to your foot, while the GIESSWEIN removable footbed with a merino layer keeps the feel stable and comfortable. Super light on the foot and with natural rolling comfort, the Runners accompany you through every day with ease. Designed in width G, they sit comfortably for average foot widths and put a smile on your face with every step.

Wool Peak
If you’re looking for stability and a smooth roll, the Wool Peak is your drive. Its specially engineered midsole cushions every step extra softly and supports noticeable energy return. The WOOLFINITY knit developed in Austria combines durability with flexibility while staying pleasantly soft. A merino lining wicks moisture efficiently outward, and the grippy rubber sole provides confidence—even on slick terrain. Perfect in width G for normal to wider feet: experience running and walking comfort that motivates you to add another lap.
