Light and airy: The best Merino sneakers and slides for summer
Summer sneakers that really breathe
When temperatures rise, your feet need exactly two things: fresh air and featherlight comfort. That’s where our summer sneakers come in. Inspired by warm spring days through peak summer, they combine clean design with premium quality fibers. So you stay not only stylish but also enjoy a comfortably dry feel at every moment. Whether casual with shorts, elegant with a dress, or sporty with a skirt—our styles are easy to mix and match and come in timeless, beautiful colors. You’re sure to find your favorite for the whole summer.
But what makes a true summer sneaker? It’s the perfect balance of breathability, lightness, and function. Instead of stuffy synthetics, we use materials that breathe and reliably wick moisture outward. Especially on hot days, that creates a fresh foot climate—without compromising on style or comfort. Our sneakers are designed so you can wear them for hours without heat buildup. The result: noticeably less sweating, more comfort, and a summer look that wears effortlessly for any occasion.
Because style in summer should simply be fun, you’ll find a wide color palette from subtle to bold. Neutral tones like gray, black, or white pair elegantly, while fresh colors add a modern accent to your outfits. At the same time, our styles deliver smart details you feel with every step: ultralight soles, comfortable fits, and easy-to-wear materials that make barefoot moments a pleasure. Our summer sneakers take you from a city stroll to a weekend getaway—and feel so light it’s like walking on clouds.
Merino Wool Knit
From the very first step, you’ll feel why the Merino Wool Knit is such a favorite: the 3D stretch knit gently hugs, while flexible stretch zones give where you need it—ideal if your feet love a little extra freedom. 360° merino wool regulates temperature and wicks moisture outward, the innovative EVA sole cushions with featherlight ease, and the removable insole provides reliable support. Worn barefoot, you’ll experience a dry, fresh feel—day after day. Easy-care, everyday-ready, and made for regular to wider feet: this casual shoe blends comfort and style with effortless ease.

Wool Sneaker
Whether for a city stroll, at the office, or on the road: the Wool Sneaker is your lightweight summer partner. The ultra-thin merino knit and superlight EVA sole create a barely-there feel—yet you still get all the benefits of fine merino wool: breathable, temperature-regulating, and naturally antibacterial. The merino removable insole offers gentle support; worn barefoot, the climate stays wonderfully fresh. On top of that, the sneaker is easy to care for: just wash at 30 °C and air dry. Ideal for narrow to regular feet—and perfect when you want maximum comfort with an elegant knit look.

What do our customers say?
Merino Wool Knit Women are very comfortable shoes. Never cold feet again. The fit is perfect. I usually need shoes in width H. Because of that, only the laces are a bit short—but there’s a fix for that. A clear recommendation!
