We’re celebrating the Wool Dream – a sneaker that feels like a little trampoline on your feet. The high-quality ETPU foam stores 100% of the energy it absorbs and returns it dynamically to you with every step. This creates a springy walking comfort that clearly supports you in everyday life, in your free time, around the city and during light outdoor activities. The super-elastic air-cushion sole ensures every step feels effortless while you move forward stable and relaxed – day after day, hour after hour.

 

Dreamlike lightness, noticeable propulsion

What makes this lightness possible? Oval air channels in the sole act like small shock absorbers, reducing impact on hard surfaces while also reducing the shoe’s weight. Narrow energy channels guide your stride forward and give you noticeable propulsion without tiring you. The textured rubber tread outsole offers reliable grip and enables a smooth rolling motion right to the tips of your toes. You’ll enjoy a wearable sense of lightness that practically lets you float – ideal for long walks through the city, spontaneous detours into the countryside, and every moment in between.

Our 360° Merino wool delivers the incomparable feel-good factor. The temperature-regulating Merino jersey lets your foot glide in effortlessly and keeps the climate pleasant – with no sweat or heat build-up. The practical heel tab makes slipping in and out easy, while a fine heel pad pampers during long periods of walking and standing. Flat laces distribute pressure evenly across the instep, while the soft Merino removable footbed with rebound gently cushions your steps. The result: relaxed feet, light legs and a confident wearing experience that reliably carries you through long days.
