Sneaker without socks: GIESSWEIN's secret for ultimate comfort

Wearing sneakers without socks may sound unconventional to some, but with GIESSWEIN's high-quality footwear, this concept becomes a soothing reality. In this blog post, we'll tell you why you can do without socks without hesitation and enjoy comfort and style at the same time.

Can you wear shoes without socks?

Opinions on whether or not it is advisable to wear socks in shoes vary widely. There are different findings that have been obtained in science, which clarify the influence of the shoe material. for example, it is said that conventional sneakers can harbor a remarkable bacteria culture, which spreads three times faster without wearing socks than when socks are used. Various articles on this topic show that whether or not to wear socks in sneakers is not the only important issue. Much more decisive is the material from which the shoes are made.

Merino wool: The secret weapon for quality and comfort in GIESSWEIN shoes.

GIESSWEIN has been known as an expert in wool since 1954, and our loyal customers appreciate the outstanding quality of our shoes. To effectively counteract unpleasant sweat and the odor that can arise after taking off your shoes, we rely on a proven solution: Merino wool. Thanks to the natural properties of merino wool, our shoes impress with their breathability, temperature- and moisture-regulating properties, as well as their antibacterial effect. 

What makes merino wool special?

The crimped structure of merino sheep's wool adheres to bacteria more quickly than smooth surfaces like synthetic fibers. It can also absorb an impressive 30% of its weight in moisture, which it wicks away to the outside without becoming damp itself. This ensures lasting comfort and freshness in our shoes. The use of merino wool as a sweat and odor fighter underlines our dedication to high-quality materials and maximum wearing comfort. Merino wool fibers are made up of different types of cells that can absorb and swell different amounts of moisture, allowing them to constantly clean themselves. Particularly important is the keratin contained, which fights unpleasant odors and prevents excessive sweating. Socks are not necessary in our shoes, as these properties keep your feet dry and odor-free, even after taking off the sneakers.
