Spring freshness on your feet: why the right shoes are crucial when hiking
The sun is shining, nature is calling – but only with the right shoes will hiking in spring be a real pleasure. Discover models that perfectly combine comfort, style and weather resistance.
The sun is warming up again, nature is showing its best side and your legs are itching to get out and about: it's time to get some fresh air. Hiking is just the thing right now – whether you're taking a leisurely stroll through the woods or climbing your first peak. But let's be honest: anyone who has ever been out and about in uncomfortable or unsuitable shoes knows how quickly a relaxing tour can turn into a real foot marathon. The good news? There is another way. With the right shoes, every hike becomes pure joy – without any pressure, sweating or slipping. In this article, we show you what matters – and which shoes will carry you perfectly through spring.
Comfort that makes you forget you're wearing shoes at all
Do you know that feeling when you set off and immediately realise that something just feels right? That's exactly how a hiking boot should feel. Nothing pinches, nothing rubs – you just set off and feel great knowing that your feet are in good hands. The Wool Trail X is made for just that: lightweight, flexible and lined entirely with fine merino wool. That means it's breathable, temperature-regulating and super comfortable against the skin – even barefoot! Ideal for relaxed hikes in spring, when the journey is just as beautiful as the destination.
When the weather changes, you stay dry and relaxed
Spring weather is a bit like us after our first coffee: full of surprises. One minute it's sunshine, the next it's pouring with rain or the forest trails are muddy. But instead of nervously checking the sky, all you need is one thing: shoes that can handle it. The Wool Cross X Alpine is your perfect companion for days like these. Water-repellent, grippy and pleasantly lightweight, this shoe ensures you stay on track in all weather conditions. And thanks to the merino lining, your feet stay comfortably warm even when it gets cooler outside.

Sure-footedness that gives you confidence on any terrain
You know that moment when the path suddenly becomes narrower, rockier or steeper? Now it's important that your shoes perform – and give you the confidence to focus fully on the moment. The Wool Cross X combines maximum mobility with stability. It gives you support where you need it and flexibility when you want it. No stumbling, no slipping – just step by step through spring. Ideal for anyone who likes to venture off the beaten track.
Stylish on the go – even on the hiking trail
Just because you're hiking doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style. On the contrary: hiking boots are designed so that you won't want to take them off. Sporty, slim and with a touch of urban style – that's what modern outdoor shoes look like today. The Merino Leather Alpine, for example, combines a high-quality look with functional comfort. Whether worn with hiking trousers or jeans, this shoe looks just as good as it performs.
