Whether wild camping, van life or a holiday on a campsite: anyone who chooses camping is looking for closeness to nature – and still wants to feel comfortable. In addition to a tent, sleeping bag and stove, there is one piece of equipment that is often underestimated but can make your stay much more enjoyable: the right shoes. We show you which Giesswein shoes are ideal for camping – thanks to their functionality and comfort.

 

WOOL TRAIL X

The waterproof all-rounder for camping life

When camping, the weather and ground conditions are never entirely predictable. Morning dew, damp forest floors or sudden rain showers are all part of outdoor life. This is exactly where the Giesswein Wool Trail X comes into its own.

The waterproof merino shoe was specially developed for versatile outdoor use – making it perfect for everyday camping.

What makes the Wool Trail X so special:

  • The waterproof membrane: your feet stay dry even in rain or wet grass.
  • Merino wool inside: temperature-regulating, breathable and odour-neutral – perfect for changing weather.
  • Grippy outsole: Provides a secure grip on forest floors, wet paths and campsite meadows.

In short: the Wool Trail X offers you outdoor comfort in all weathers – without compromising on comfort or style. A true camping all-rounder that masters rain, morning dew and long days with ease.

 


WOOL PEAK

For frequent walkers, campers with dogs and explorers

A walk with the dog in the morning, taking the kids to the playground in the afternoon, quickly gathering firewood in the evening – some camping days are pretty eventful. The Wool Peak is made for precisely these active moments: it combines the lightness of a sneaker with outstanding stability, making every step a pleasure.

Why the Peak makes your everyday camping life easier:

  • All-day comfort: Merino wool keeps your feet fresh – even after hours of wear
  • Surprisingly lightweight: No heavy feeling, even though it offers solid support
  • Versatile: From walks around the campsite to short hikes

The highlight: you can wear the Wool Peak all day long without getting tired feet. Perfect for campers who like to be spontaneous and on the go – without having to think about whether their shoes are suitable for the planned trip.

In short: with the Wool Peak, you're equipped for everything an active day of camping has to offer – from morning hikes to evening trips to the laundry.

 


 

MERINO SLIDES

The camping sandal for all those relaxed moments

Early in the morning to the wash house, cosy around the campfire in the evening or quickly grabbing something from the car – the Merino Slides are perfect for these casual camping situations. These open sandals combine the comfort of slippers with outdoor durability – making camping life noticeably more relaxed.

Why the Merino Slide is indispensable when camping:

  • Lightning fast to put on: simply slip them on without laces or bending down
  • Breathable: open design ensures airy freshness on warm days
  • Suitable for outdoor use: non-slip sole grips well on gravel, wooden planks or damp grass
  • Versatile: perfect for tents, caravans and everything in between

The big advantage when camping: you always have footwear quickly available for spontaneous trips without having to put on your ‘big’ shoes. Also ideal as shoes for entering and exiting the tent – simply leave them outside the tent and slip them on when needed.

In short: Merino Slides make every little camping trip a relaxed affair – maximum comfort with minimum effort.
