Rediscover trekking shoes: Merino comfort meets outdoor performance
Whether it’s a spring tour in the low mountain ranges or an autumn trail through the woods: trekking shoes are your reliable partners on any terrain and in every season. True hiking enjoyment depends on premium materials inside and out, a solid tread, and precise craftsmanship. That’s exactly where Giesswein’s trekking shoes come in: built tough yet wonderfully comfortable, so you can rack up kilometre after kilometre with a smile. The timeless, functional design slips seamlessly into your trekking outfit—sporty, clean, and always on point. And because style isn’t a luxury, our athletic models also come in fresh, modern colour combinations.
But what exactly defines a trekking shoe?
Many also call it a hiking shoe or a multifunctional shoe—and rightly so. It’s not built for climbing, but designed for rocky paths, long stages, and varied tours. Its shape and stable lateral support reliably protect against twisting your ankle, while the construction allows enough flexibility for a natural roll-through. Because “trekking” often means multi-day ventures, these shoes are particularly durable yet suitable for everyday wear. You can wear them on big routes as well as for city strolls or in the park—always with the reassuring feel of stable, secure steps.
What should you look for when choosing?
Top of the list is pure wearing comfort: the shoe should be light, breathable, and free from annoying pressure points. Heavy materials and rigid synthetics make your feet tired—our solutions remain featherlight. A grippy sole gives you traction without piling on weight. For extra comfort, a 3D‑stretch Merino wool lining helps regulate temperature, feels soft, and keeps moisture and odours in check. Together with a cushioning midsole and thoughtful fit details, you’ll stay fresher for longer—blister‑free, confident, and eager for the next stage.

Thomas — ★★★★★
The Wool Trail X Men is the best hiking shoe I’ve ever had. It’s suitable for city strolls, football matches, gardening, as well as for extended hikes in the low and high mountains. I wore them hiking in South Tyrol, for example (...). Really good grip, no slipping. Waterproof. The only downside: the laces come undone more often;
