Boot trends for winter: the perfect companions for cold days
Discover stylish and functional boots that will see you through autumn, winter and beyond.
When temperatures drop and the first snowflakes fall, the same question arises every year: which boots combine style, comfort and functionality? The answer lies in high-quality boots that not only look good, but also keep you warm and dry in all weather conditions. Whether you're out and about in the city, planning long hikes or simply looking for a stylish everyday companion, the right boots make all the difference.
Stylish leather boots for everyday wear and leisure
➡️ The Merino Leather Boot is more than just a fashionable eye-catcher. With its high-quality nubuck leather and sophisticated workmanship, this boot sets new standards in comfort. Particularly noteworthy is the 360° merino wool lining, which pampers your feet all around. The padded shoe collar also ensures comfortable wear, even on longer walks.
What makes nubuck leather so special? It is a velvety, robust suede leather with an elegant look. The surface is not only attractive but also practical: dirt can be easily removed with a damp cloth. Thanks to its special finish, the material is waterproof, so your feet stay dry even in rain and snow.
The classic colours black, camel and dark brown can be combined in many ways. Whether with jeans, a skirt or trousers, these boots go with almost any outfit. In spring, they go wonderfully with a woollen jumper, and in winter they also look great with a thick jacket.
Technical highlights:
- Performance removable footbed with merino wool fabric for individual comfort
- Non-slip rubber sole with excellent grip, even on slippery surfaces
- Breathable thanks to the combination of merino wool and nubuck leather
- Temperature-regulating for a comfortable foot climate in various weather conditions
Hiking boots for alpine adventures
For those who enjoy being out in nature, specialised hiking boots are ideal for meeting the demands of mountains and valleys.
➡️ The Wool Cross X Alpine was developed in the heart of the Alps and combines everything a good hiking boot needs. The waterproof construction combined with merino wool lining creates an optimal microclimate inside the boot, regardless of whether you are out and about in hot, cold or snowy conditions.
A special feature is the anti-blister heel, which, together with the well-designed padding, effectively prevents pressure points. The two-zone lacing system allows you to adjust the shoe precisely to your foot. Particularly practical: you can adjust the forefoot and upper separately, which significantly increases comfort.
The Micro-Grip sole technology guarantees a secure footing on various surfaces. Whether you're walking on rocky paths, through mud or over wet roots, the sole gives you the stability you need.
➡️ The Merino Leather Alpine is the ideal all-rounder for the mountains. This boot also features high-quality nubuck leather combined with a soft merino wool lining. The non-slip rubber tread sole offers optimal grip, while the EVA midsole cushions and springs every step.
The lacing system is particularly well thought out: the non-slip, two-tone laces sit in sturdy eyelets and open hooks. They do not come undone and do not absorb water when wet. The soft mesh tongue underneath completes the comfortable fit.
The removable merino wool insole adapts to your individual foot needs. You can replace it as needed, which extends the life of the boot.
What to look for in winter and hiking boots
Lining and thermal insulation: Merino wool has proven itself as an inner lining. The natural fibre regulates temperature, wicks moisture away and keeps you warm at the same time. Unlike synthetic materials, merino wool remains largely odourless even when wet.
Waterproofing: Make sure that the boot is truly waterproof – not just water-repellent. This difference makes a big difference on longer tours or in persistent rain.
Sole and grip: A good tread sole is crucial for a secure grip. For hikes in alpine terrain, special grip technologies are recommended that also work on wet or slippery surfaces.
Breathability: Even in winter, your feet should be able to breathe. The combination of breathable materials such as nubuck leather and merino wool prevents perspiration and ensures a comfortable foot climate.
Weight: Weight is particularly important when it comes to hiking boots. Modern materials and well-designed constructions enable lightweight boots that still offer sufficient stability.
The right care for long-lasting enjoyment of your boots
To keep your leather boots looking good for a long time, you should care for them regularly:
- Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush
- Clean the leather with a slightly damp cloth if necessary
- Use special care products for nubuck leather
- Allow wet boots to dry at room temperature (not on the heater!)
👉 The perfect winter boots combine several features: they look good, keep you warm and dry, offer a secure grip and are comfortable to wear. The models presented here – the Merino Leather Boot for city and everyday wear, the Wool Cross X Alpine for demanding hikes and the Merino Leather Alpine as a versatile mountain all-rounder – show that you don't have to compromise.
The combination of high-quality materials, temperature-regulating merino wool lining and well-thought-out technical features makes these boots reliable companions for the cold season. Whether you're strolling through snow-covered streets, going on long hikes or just want to keep your feet dry and warm, with the right boots you'll be prepared for any weather.
