Shoes that bring families together

At GIESSWEIN, you’ll find footwear for every family member—from lively preschoolers to active grandparents. Our models combine a modern look with well‑thought‑out comfort and are made to accompany countless shared moments: strolling around town, at the playground or on long walks. Thanks to the benefits of merino wool, everyone enjoys a comfortably balanced foot climate that adapts to your activities. At the same time, we focus on long‑lasting quality and easy care, so your favourite pair will still impress tomorrow. That’s how practical footwear becomes a true feel‑good statement for the whole family—versatile, clever and always ready for everyday life.

 

Merino Wool: Feel‑good climate with every step

Merino wool is a true wonder fibre: it regulates temperature, wicks moisture away from the foot and creates a dry, balanced feel—whether you slip in barefoot or wear socks. It’s also gentle on the skin and flexible enough to adapt smoothly to your movements. The result is tangible lightness that really counts in a hectic family routine. If you spend a lot of time on your feet, you’ll appreciate the relaxed climate and reliable comfort from the first step to the last. And because merino is so easy‑care, favourite pairs are ready for action again in no time—for school, work and everything in between.

 

Style meets everyday practicality

Our range makes it easy to find the right pair for every day—stylish, comfortable and durable. Whether a sporty‑casual look, smart off‑duty style or a functional everyday companion: with GIESSWEIN, your shoe adapts to you, not the other way around. Thoughtful details meet timeless designs that combine effortlessly and carry you reliably through all seasons. The result is a mix of style and function that delights the whole family: easy to handle, comfortable on your feet and with that extra feel‑good factor you won’t want to miss after the very first wear.

 

Merino Wool Knit: 3D‑stretch comfort

Whether on a walk, at the office or travelling—the Merino Wool Knit wraps your feet in 360° merino wool and palpable lightness. Its 3D‑stretch knit sits flexibly and creates stretch zones that feel especially pleasant, for example with hallux valgus. The removable insole stabilises your stride, while the innovative, ultra‑light EVA sole cushions every step. Worn barefoot, you’ll enjoy a dry, fresh feel on the skin; width G fits normal to wider feet perfectly. Easy‑care and made for many miles: this wool sneaker is your ideal casual shoe—slip on, feel good, get going.

Merino Easy Step: Hook‑and‑loop, comfort, clever

For anyone who loves things uncomplicated, the Merino Easy Step is the smartest choice. Slip in, fasten the strap, and go—no bending down or lacing required. The breathable 3D merino knit adapts to foot volume as the day goes on; the cut is ideal for a normal to high instep. The comfortable merino footbed can be swapped for your own orthotics. At the same time, the lightweight EVA sole provides excellent cushioning, and non‑slip rubber inserts offer security in wet, cold weather. Reinforcing knit mesh at the heel adds stability, too. This relieves the joints, supports a natural gait and noticeably reduces fatigue.

Kids Barefoot Wool: Walk naturally, with playful ease

With children’s feet, every sensation counts: the Kids Barefoot Wool gives toes optimal room and makes on and off a breeze thanks to pull tabs and two hook‑and‑loop straps. The super‑light treaded rubber sole protects from sharp ground yet still allows ground feel—helping kids intuitively return to a natural gait. Breathable merino wool ensures a pleasant climate, barefoot or with socks. This barefoot shoe supports the development of foot muscles, promotes coordination and motor skills, and encourages a healthy, natural roll‑through. Practical in everyday life: absolutely easy‑care and machine‑washable at 30°C on the wool cycle.

What do our customers say?

Merino Wool Knit Women are very comfortable shoes. Never cold feet again. The fit is perfect. I normally need shoes in width H. As a result, only the laces are a bit short—but there’s a fix for that. A clear recommendation!
