A new year always feels a bit like a blank slate. Full of possibilities, new goals and small resolutions that are meant to improve our everyday lives. Whether it's more exercise, more conscious consumption or simply more time for ourselves – it's often the small steps that make the biggest difference.
And it's precisely these steps that deserve shoes that accompany us perfectly. Comfortable, well-designed and made for everything we've planned for the new year.

More exercise in everyday life – feel the energy with every step

Getting more exercise is at the top of many people's list of New Year's resolutions. Whether it's running, training or simply being more active throughout the day, the right shoes can be a real source of motivation.

The WOOL PEAK is the world's first running shoe made from merino wool that gives you energy back. The midsole, specially developed for runners, provides extra-light cushioning and gives you power back with every step. The running shoe is enhanced by WOOLFINITY®, the most durable and flexible wool fabric in the world.

The high-twist merino yarn guarantees dimensional stability and resilience, while the merino lining reliably wicks moisture away. The rubber sole offers the best grip, even on slippery terrain.

The WOOL TRAINER is the ideal companion for training in the gym or at home. This cross-training shoe with merino lining offers a firm footing, optimal cushioning and maximum breathability. The raised rubber sole ensures stability, while the dynamic sole system allows for a gentle roll.

Thanks to Merino 3D knit, your feet sit perfectly in the shoe without pressure, while TPU elements stabilise your footing all around. Whether you're lifting weights, doing HIIT or cardio, the WOOL TRAINER supports every movement and is also a real visual highlight.

Live more sustainably – consume more consciously with a clear conscience

A more conscious lifestyle often begins with the decisions we make every day. Waste less, pay more attention to materials and choose products that are durable and responsibly manufactured.

The ECO Sneaker by GIESSWEIN combines modern design with innovative sustainability. The seamless upper is made from recycled PET bottles – from a single thread that is perfectly adapted to the foot using state-of-the-art 3D knitting technology.

Inside, high-quality merino wool ensures a comfortable foot climate, while the performance footbed stores energy and provides long-lasting cushioning. The EVA sole with rubber elements in the toe and heel areas offers stability and grip with maximum lightness.

A sneaker for anyone who wants to combine sustainability, comfort and style in their everyday life.

Out into nature – ready for any terrain

Spending more time outdoors, breathing fresh air and exercising in nature are real feel-good boosters – no matter what the season. With the right footwear, every adventure is even better.

The WOOL TRAIL X is a waterproof merino trail runner with an original VIBRAM® sole, made for demanding terrain. Deep lugs made from Megagrip compound provide unparalleled grip on snow, mud and slippery surfaces.

Thanks to the merino lining, your feet stay breathable, antibacterial and at the perfect temperature. TPU protection, an EVA midsole and high cushioning guarantee comfort even over long distances. Practical: the tab on the heel makes it quick to put on and take off.

The WOOL CROSS X ALPINE is the ideal choice for classic hikes. This waterproof hiking boot made of merino wool was developed in the heart of the Alps and offers stability, support and maximum comfort.

The breathable merino lining, anti-blister heel and removable footbed ensure a relaxed hiking experience. The Micro Grip sole guarantees a secure footing on a wide variety of terrain.
