The must-have for sneaker fans: Merino
Discover why merino is the ultimate must-have for sneaker fans. This natural high-tech fibre ensures maximum breathability, perfect comfort and a fresh foot climate – all year round.
Sneakers have long been more than just shoes – they are a lifestyle. Whether worn casually with jeans, sportily with a business look or as a cool style break with a dress, a pair of good sneakers always works. But one thing is essential: comfort. No one wants sweaty, tight or smelly shoes. This is where a material that sneaker fans love comes into play: merino wool.
Why? Find out here – in a compact, easy-to-understand way that might just result in you falling in love with a new favourite pair.
Why merino is the smarter sneaker material
Merino wool is a true miracle fibre of nature. Its fine structure creates small air chambers that regulate heat and absorb moisture without feeling wet.
The result? A pleasantly dry foot climate – whether in summer or winter.
Merino is:
- breathable
- temperature regulating
- ultra-light
- odourless
- soft and completely scratch-free
And because the fibre has an antibacterial effect, unpleasant odours simply stay out. For anyone who loves to wear trainers every day, this is an absolute game changer.
Natural comfort – without compromise
Unlike many synthetic fabrics, merino wool is completely natural – no additives, no chemicals.
The fibre warms you when it's cold and cools you when it's warm. It stores moisture but also releases it back out. It even keeps you warm when wet – something no artificial material can do.
And best of all, merino feels incredibly soft. Merino sheep's hair is only half as thick as that of ordinary sheep, which is what makes the wool so comfortable and gentle. Perfect for trainers that you won't want to take off.
Naturally sustainable – good for you and good for the environment
Merino wool is a natural product – and therefore biodegradable.
But sustainability means more than just environmental friendliness: origin is also crucial.
We use high-quality, mulesing-free merino wool sourced from carefully selected farmers. Animal welfare is our top priority. The sheep are shorn no more than once or twice a year, and their welfare is regularly monitored. So you can wear your merino trainers with a clear conscience.
