6 Winter Trainers to Keep Your Feet Warm

The best winter trainers are made from materials which keep your feet warm and dry no matter the conditions. They should also have  slip-resistant soles to keep you stable over every terrain. At Giesswein, we’ve found one of the best winter trainer materials is  merino wool. 

Some of the  properties of merino wool for winter trainers include:

• Soft
• Comfortable 
• Temperature-regulating
• Breathable
• Antibacterial
• Odour-minimising
• Moisture wicking
• Water-resistant 
• Lightweight

Thanks to its temperature-regulating quality, merino wool keeps your feet warm in the winter, without them feeling overheated and stuffy. That way you can keep going on that frosty hike or continue gift shopping all day long. The best winter trainers are ones which can help your feet stay warm and cosy without getting too warm or feeling unable to breathe.

Thanks to its ability to let air through, merino wool is a great material to make  breathable sneakers that allow your feet to cool down when they get too overheated. This means that along with its antibacterial qualities, your  merino shoes won’t smell. Should you feel the need to give them a quick refresh, though, you can, because you can easily  wash merino wool in the washing machine. That makes the best winter trainers even better, because they’ll be clean and refreshed whenever you need them to.

As the months get a little wetter, the best winter trainers keep your feet dry. Luckily, our winter trainers are water-repellant, making them optimal  water-resistant trainers. The surface of merino wool means that water is discouraged from absorbing. This means that even when it’s raining heavily, your feet should be dry inside your winter trainers! 

For the same reasons that we use wool to create our trainers, we also use  virgin wool to make our warm slippers. This type of wool also has properties to keep your feet warm in the colder weather.
