Avoid sweaty feet: These shoes and socks really help

No more uncomfortable sweaty feet! Discover how merino wool keeps your feet fresh and which tips really help!

11.02.2025

Sweaty feet are an annoying problem that affects many people - especially on warm days or when spending long hours in closed shoes. In addition to unpleasant odours, excessive moisture can also cause skin irritation and blisters. But don't worry: with the right choice of shoes and socks, you can effectively prevent sweaty feet and ensure maximum comfort at the same time. Here you can find out what really matters - and which products will keep your feet fresh and dry!


Choose breathable shoes made from merino wool

Breathable shoes are essential for a comfortable foot climate. Many conventional shoes are made of synthetic materials that retain moisture and offer little air circulation. The result? Damp, warm feet that quickly start sweating. Merino wool is a natural and highly functional alternative. This miracle fibre can absorb moisture without feeling wet and at the same time ensures optimum temperature regulation.

The MERINO RUNNERS are a perfect choice if you value dry and comfortable feet. These innovative wool sneakers are made from high-quality merino wool, which keeps your feet pleasantly cool even in warm temperatures and reduces perspiration. Thanks to the natural thermoregulation, your foot climate is always in balance - whether you are travelling, working or doing sport. The MERINO RUNNERS are also particularly light and flexible, allowing them to adapt perfectly to your feet and offering an unrivalled wearing comfort.

The right footbed provides additional comfort

In addition to the upper material, the footbed is also a decisive factor for a healthy foot climate. A good footbed ensures that moisture is quickly wicked away and the foot receives optimum support. People who are on their feet a lot in particular benefit from a stabilising and breathable footbed.

The GIESSWEIN removable footbeds with a merino layer offer precisely these benefits: they absorb moisture without feeling wet and provide pleasant cushioning with every step. This not only means less sweaty feet, but also a particularly comfortable feel - ideal for long days in the office, long walks or intensive training sessions.

Wear high-quality socks made from merino wool

Many people underestimate the role of socks when it comes to sweaty feet. They are the link between the skin and the shoe - and therefore crucial for a healthy foot climate. Synthetic socks tend to accumulate moisture, which leads to an unpleasant feeling and rapid odour formation. The solution? Merino wool!

The MERINO WOOL SNEAKER SOCKS have been specially developed for this purpose: they regulate the foot climate naturally and effectively transport moisture to the outside. This keeps your feet dry and at a pleasant temperature at all times - without any unpleasant sweating. The socks are also Ökotex-certified, which means that they are not only skin-friendly but also sustainably produced. Particularly practical: the merino sneaker socks are available in a 3-pack in different colours and can be perfectly combined with your favourite shoes.

Additional tips against sweaty feet

In addition to choosing the right shoes and socks, there are some simple but effective measures that can help you avoid sweaty feet in the long term:

  • Regular foot hygiene: Wash your feet daily with lukewarm water and mild soap to remove bacteria and prevent odours.
  • Use natural home remedies: Foot powder or baking soda can absorb excess moisture and ensure dry feet.
  • Walk barefoot if possible: this allows your feet to breathe and keep them naturally ventilated - ideal for summer or after a long day in closed shoes.
  • Change your shoes regularly: Don't wear the same pair of shoes every day, but change them regularly so that they have enough time to air out.
  • Pay attention to breathable materials: opt for high-quality natural fibres such as merino wool to optimally regulate your foot climate and prevent sweaty feet.

With the right shoes and socks, sweaty feet are a thing of the past! The MERINO RUNNERS and MERINO WOOL SNEAKER SOCKS offer an unbeatable combination of breathability, comfort and quality. Thanks to the natural thermoregulation of merino wool, your foot climate always remains optimal - whether in everyday life, during sport or when travelling. So put an end to damp, uncomfortable feet - experience the difference with Merino wool and enjoy maximum comfort with every step!

Now is the perfect time to switch to breathable materials and effectively prevent sweaty feet. Take a look at the GIESSWEIN collection and pamper your feet with the natural freshness of merino wool!
