Wool Peak

Imagine lacing up and feeling straight away: there’s extra energy in every step. Wool Peak is the world’s first running shoe made of Merino wool, delivering noticeable rebound—thanks to a specially developed midsole with pleasantly soft cushioning. Its especially durable yet flexible wool fabric maintains its shape even on intense runs, while the Merino lining efficiently wicks moisture outwards. The grippy rubber outsole keeps you secure on wet ground; G width fits ideally for normal to wide feet. Get that run feel that keeps you motivated to go further—every day.

Wool Trek X

From the very first lace-up, Wool Trek X shows what modern outdoor comfort means: the quick-lacing secures in an instant, the padded tongue prevents pressure points, and the water-repellent upper stays breathable—ideal in any weather. Inside, a supple Merino jersey lining naturally regulates your foot climate: warm in winter, cool in summer and pleasantly odour-neutral. A grippy lugged sole provides stability and support on varied surfaces; the lightweight EVA midsole and the cushioned, removable footbed are easy on your joints. Easy to reproof and sporting a clean look, it’s ready for trekking, trails and an active everyday life.

What do our customers say?

★★★★★ I bought the Wool Peak Women for myself and my mother—ideal for me because with an inflamed tendon I can wear an insole and the shoes are nicely soft; for my mother they’re perfect because of her heel spur and extremely comfortable to wear. Full recommendation!
Tatjana

★★★★★ Giesswein shoes are the most comfortable I’ve had so far—this goes for the Wool Peak Women as well. They are super comfortable, well made, well ventilated and look great. You can also rely on the sizing. I would buy them again.
