4 reasons why merino wool simply always fits!
Merino wool has long since established itself as a truly exceptional natural material. The fine fibre of merino wool impresses with its extraordinary versatility and incomparable comfort. What many people initially only recognise as a classic winter material has developed into a year-round companion in recent years, impressing in all types of clothing and shoes. The special structure of this fine natural fibre ensures an incomparable interplay of fabulous properties. At Giesswein, we have a decades-long passion for this extraordinary material, whose unique qualities continuously inspire us to develop comfortable and innovative products.
Summer, sun, merino: so breathable!
The fine fibres of merino wool are simply great when it comes to air circulation. Compared to thicker wool or synthetic fibres, the structure of merino wool ensures that your skin always gets enough fresh air. So you won't overheat, even when it's really warm outside. And best of all, merino wool simply transports moisture away from the body. This ensures a pleasantly dry and cool feeling, regardless of whether you are doing sport or enjoying the sun. Think of it as a built-in climate control system for your feet! Other materials such as cotton soak up moisture and stay wet for a long time, while synthetic fibres wick away moisture but often don't breathe as well. The extra-fine fibre structure of merino wool, which is often less than 20 microns, makes all the difference - which means maximum comfort for you.
Cosy and warm in winter? Sure with merino!
Merino wool not only breathes, it also stores heat really well. The crimped fibres form small air pockets that trap your body heat and protect you from the cold. And the great thing is: Merino wool even keeps you warm when it gets damp. This is particularly practical when you're out and about in winter and the weather suddenly changes. This crimped structure is therefore the key to the great thermal insulation. Other materials such as down lose their warming effect when they get wet. Merino wool is simply cleverer: it retains warmth when you need it and at the same time prevents overheating thanks to its breathability.
Bye bye odours, hello freshness!
Do you know the problem of smelly shoes? With Merino wool, this problem becomes much smaller! It has a natural ability to neutralise odours. This is due to the lanolin in the wool and the special structure of the fibres, which make it difficult for bacteria to colonise. That's why you don't have to wash clothes and shoes made from merino wool as often. This is a huge advantage for anyone who is travelling a lot or simply wants to do less laundry. And best of all, many of our merino products are super easy to care for and can simply be put in the washing machine. Just make sure you select the wool wash cycle at a low temperature.

So soft, just feel good!
In contrast to conventional wool, merino wool is characterised by its exceptional softness. The fine fibres, significantly thinner than other types of wool, nestle gently against the skin without causing the typical scratching or itching. This natural softness, combined with the inherent elasticity of the fibres, makes them remarkably comfortable to wear during any activity. The pleasant feel on the skin is retained even after prolonged wear. Another advantage: the ability of merino wool to efficiently wick away moisture ensures that the skin feels dry and fresh throughout.
The WOOL SNEAKER - your all-rounder
Our Wool trainers are the perfect proof of how brilliant merino wool is! Thanks to its super-light EVA sole, you'll hardly feel it on your foot - ideal for all-day wear!
