Stay cool when it gets hot
Summer is at its best and you're wondering which shoes really work in these temperatures? The answer is closer than you think. While many people automatically reach for synthetic materials in hot weather, there are natural alternatives that keep your feet feeling cool and dry even in high temperatures.
Why natural materials are ideal in hot weather
When temperatures rise, your body works hard to regulate its temperature. Your feet are no exception – they sweat more and need materials that can quickly wick away moisture. Natural materials such as merino wool and wood, on the other hand, have unique properties that make them ideal for hot days.
They regulate temperature naturally, allow the skin to breathe and ensure a comfortable fit – even when the thermometer climbs. The trick is to find the right shoes for different situations. Whether you're spending a relaxed day at home, planning a stroll through town or treating your feet to some rest after a long day – there's a solution for every moment.
WOOL SNEAKER: Your faithful companion for active summer days
Merino wool in hot weather? That may sound surprising at first, but this extraordinary natural fibre has properties that make it the perfect material for warm days. Our Wool Sneakers make the most of the natural superpowers of merino wool. The fine fibres of merino wool automatically regulate temperature.
When it gets warm, the material wicks moisture away from the skin and has a cooling effect. At the same time, merino wool naturally neutralises odours – an invaluable advantage when you're on the go all day. The Wool Sneakers are also super lightweight and flexible. You can wear them all day long without your feet getting tired. The natural elasticity of the wool adapts to your feet and offers optimal comfort, whether you're running through the city or taking a leisurely stroll in the park.
WOOD SNEAKER SLIP-ON: Natural cooling for relaxed moments
The fabric used in our Wood Sneakers is made from eucalyptus fibres – an extremely soft, cooling and breathable fibre. What makes these shoes so special is the combination of natural wood fibres and the practical slip-on design. The material absorbs moisture and releases it quickly, ensuring a dry and comfortable foot climate. The slip-on design makes the shoe the perfect companion for spontaneous trips or relaxed days when you don't want to spend much time putting on and taking off your shoes. Despite their relaxed look, they offer enough support and stability for everyday activities.
MERINO SLIDES: Pure relaxation for your feet
When the heat is on and you're looking for a real alternative to closed shoes, Merino Slides are the perfect answer. These airy sandals bring a breath of fresh air to your feet – literally. The open design of the slides ensures maximum air circulation around your feet. The combination of the open sandal shape and the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool makes them the ideal summer shoe. The soft merino footbed gently adapts to the shape of your feet, while the sturdy sole provides enough grip for relaxed walks or a trip to the café around the corner. This allows you to combine the liberating feeling of open sandals with the comfort of high-quality materials.
Choosing the right shoes can make the difference between sweaty, tired feet and a comfortable feel – even in extreme heat. Natural materials such as merino wool and wood fibres offer properties that synthetic materials often cannot match: they regulate temperature, wick away moisture and ensure a naturally fresh foot climate. Whether you are actively on the go, enjoying a relaxing day or treating yourself to some rest after a long day, with the right shoes made from natural materials, you will stay cool and comfortable even in the hottest temperatures. Your feet will thank you for it.
