Autumn, we are ready - with Merino on our feet

Autumn is here: the leaves are changing colour, the air is getting cooler, and summer shoes are slowly moving into the cupboard. But what goes on your feet now? Especially at this time of year you need shoes that keep you warm, are weatherproof and still look stylish. That’s exactly why we’ve put together the perfect selection of GIESSWEIN autumn shoes. Our top 4 styles will see you confidently through wet streets, cool walks and smart city looks. Whether it’s a lap of the park in the morning, a shopping trip in the city or the way to the office - with our Merino favourites you’re perfectly equipped for every situation.

The secret behind it is Merino wool: it regulates temperature, is breathable and prevents that clammy, sweaty feeling – even when you pick up the pace. At the same time, the soft fabric hugs your foot and ensures a natural, lightweight feel that even delights when worn barefoot. Removable insoles with a Merino layer stabilise every step and noticeably increase comfort. Lightweight, grippy soles give you confidence on damp leaves without weighing you down. This way you get the best of both worlds: performance that impresses, and a look that simply always fits.

And because autumn is so versatile, so are our shoes: from laid-back sneakers to weatherproof companions with a higher shaft – each model scores with thoughtful details, high-quality workmanship and timeless design. Merino ensures a healthy foot climate, selected leathers protect you reliably from moisture, and smart fits let you step relaxed all day. In the next sections we present the four favourites that carry you stylishly and comfortably through the season. Choose your autumn hero and experience comfort that refines every step.

 

Merino Runners

Let’s start with the Merino Runners: the premium Merino fabric envelops your foot all around with 360° comfort, regulates temperature and is pleasantly breathable – so there’s no sweaty feeling, even when things get a bit faster. The GIESSWEIN removable footbed with a Merino layer stabilises and cushions for a noticeably relaxed step in everyday life. Super light and flexible, the Runners even impress barefoot with a natural feel. Their clean design works with jeans, office looks and strolls through colourful leaves. Width G ensures a comfortable fit for normal foot width – an all-rounder that brings a smile to your face every day.

Wool Sneaker High Top

For cold days, the Wool Sneaker High Top is your reliable partner: warm like a boot, light like a sneaker – with a high shaft that pleasantly stabilises your ankles. The premium Merino wool ensures a consistently optimal foot climate, while its naturally water-repellent properties keep you dry in damp autumn weather. The interchangeable Merino footbed gently cushions and keeps the foot securely in place. 360° Merino comfort pampers with every step, whether on a city tour or a country path. Ideal for temperatures from really cold to mild and easy to combine in a laid-back way.

Merino Leather Boot

When it’s really wet and cold, the Merino Leather Boot plays to its strengths: high-quality, velvety nubuck leather meets a 360° lining made of Merino wool – waterproof and at the same time breathable. The softly padded collar nestles comfortably, while the performance removable footbed with Merino felt stabilises your step. The grippy rubber sole gives you secure traction on slippery terrain and gets you reliably through rain, mud and city puddles. This boot combines an elegant look, robust stability and noticeable warmth – a strong companion for every autumn challenge.

Merino Glide

And for urban looks with a feel-good factor, the Merino Glide is the perfect choice: the upper made of LWG Gold-certified suede gives a premium appearance, while the supple Merino jersey lining gently surrounds your feet. The stabilising removable footbed with Merino wool offers individual comfort, and the stylish cupsole with non-slip rubber tread keeps you relaxed when standing and walking. A padded heel and a softly padded collar prevent pressure points, while the flat cotton laces sit securely. The result: a modern sneaker that casually combines luxury, function and everyday practicality – just right for your autumn city style.

I am absolutely thrilled with the Giesswein Wool Sneaker High Top Women! The shoes are incredibly comfortable and adapt perfectly to my foot. The soft wool upper is breathable and keeps my feet warm even on cooler days. The design is simple yet modern, so the shoes go with any outfit. The grip on the ground is excellent and gives me a secure feeling when walking. I also like the sustainability of the product, as it is made from renewable raw materials. All in all, a great product that I would recommend to everyone!
