Your personal style is reflected in many details: in your choice of colours, your accessories and, of course, your shoes. While many people pay attention to the upper material, the sole is often overlooked – yet it is often the sole that makes all the difference. In this article, we present three sneaker models that stand out from the crowd thanks to their special sole designs. Perhaps you will find the perfect pair to match your individual look.

Sporty and striking: Wool Peak

The Wool Peak was originally developed as a running shoe and therefore has very sporty performance features. What makes it special visually is the silhouette of the sole. Viewed from the side, its shape is reminiscent of a mountain range – a subtle but distinctive detail.

The Energy Return EVA midsole returns energy with every step. The upper is made of WOOLFINITY®, a highly twisted merino yarn with high dimensional stability. The merino lining wicks moisture away, while the rubber sole provides grip on various surfaces.

Whether for sports, travel or everyday wear, the Wool Peak is versatile and easy to combine. It looks sporty with jogging trousers and casual with jeans. The striking sole profile always remains an eye-catcher.

Light as a feather with Alpha Antishock: Merino Jump

The Merino Jump sets new standards in cushioning with its Alpha Antishock concept. The special sole reduces vibrations by 50% more rebound thanks to the pump effect and provides maximum cushioning with every step. What makes it special: the Super Critical Foam midsole makes the shoe 30% lighter than comparable models with EVA – a noticeable difference when wearing.

The non-slip rubber outsole ensures a secure grip and smooth movement. The upper material with high-quality merino wool regulates the temperature optimally and offers excellent breathability. The supple merino jersey lining and merino insole create a soft, skin-friendly feel and keep feet dry and fresh.

Flat laces with sturdy metal eyelets ensure a secure fit, while the heel loop makes it easy to put on. The modern design can be easily combined with sporty and casual outfits – whether for walking, working out or leisure.

By the way: the Alpha Antishock Concept not only absorbs shocks, it also supports balance – perfect for anyone who likes to stand firmly on both feet!

Urban and eye-catching: Chunky High Sneaker

The Chunky High Sneaker is an ankle-high casual sneaker that immediately catches the eye with its robust chunky outsole. The EVA and rubber platform sole is significantly thicker than that of classic sneakers and has a distinctive grip profile – a look that emphasises urban street style.

The upper material is made of Merino 3D knit fabric and durable cowhide leather. Reinforced areas on the toes and heel provide stability when walking and standing. The Merino jersey lining ensures that your feet glide smoothly into the shoe, while the Merino wool regulates the temperature all around and keeps your feet dry and fresh.

A practical detail: the integrated removable footbed. You can replace it with your own insoles if necessary. The round cotton laces complete the design.

Styling tip: The Chunky High works well with both contrasts and harmonious combinations. Try it with a trouser suit for an exciting style break or classically with jeans and a skirt.

The sole makes the difference

Whether sporty and striking in the Wool Peak, feather-light and shock-absorbing in the Merino Jump or urban and eye-catching in the Chunky High – each of these soles tells its own story and shapes your individual look.

All three models feature merino wool, which helps regulate temperature. This combines a unique look with functional properties for a comfortable fit.
