Summer is the season of lightness. Days get longer, temperatures rise, and the desire for easygoing footwear grows. At the same time, you don’t want to sacrifice comfort. That’s exactly where the Merino Slides come in. They combine a pleasant feel with high-quality materials and a timeless design that pairs well with many outfits.

Whether on your way to the office, strolling through the city, traveling, or going about your day, the Merino Slides or Slides Lite carry you through summer and give your feet a comfortably light feel with every step.

Why free feet feel so good in summer

When temperatures climb, many people want shoes that weigh them down as little as possible. Open sandals create an airy feel and allow your feet more freedom of movement. At the same time, premium materials are crucial so your feet stay comfortable even on long days.

The Merino Slides and Slides Lite were designed to support exactly this feeling of lightness. By combining Merino wool, ergonomic cork, and flexible openwork knit, they deliver a harmonious mix of comfort, adaptability, and relaxed summer style.

A comfortable microclimate thanks to Merino wool

A standout feature of the Merino Slides is the use of Merino wool in the footbed. Merino wool is known for its temperature-regulating properties and can absorb and release moisture. This creates a pleasantly dry feel, even on warm summer days.

Merino wool also naturally has antibacterial properties that can help reduce the development of odors. That way, the slides still feel good even after many hours.

Ergonomic cork for relaxed walking

The ergonomically shaped cork footbed supports your foot with every step. Cork is a natural material appreciated for its light cushioning and pleasant ride.

Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the footbed follows your natural movement and ensures everyday comfort. Especially on active summer days, this can help the shoes stay comfortable for longer periods.

Soft ajour knit made from recycled polyester

The upper is made from an especially soft ajour knit of recycled polyester. The material flexibly hugs the foot and ensures a comfortable fit.

Together with the continuously adjustable straps, the Merino Slides can be customized to your feet. Because feet often differ in width or size, this flexibility adds extra comfort in daily wear.
