4 Breathable Sneakers for Summer
The sun is shining and temperatures are rising, so we like to kick off our shoes and walk barefoot. But even in breathable trainers, you can still enjoy the hot summer days to the fullest. What's more, they look really cool when paired with airy outfits.
WHICH MATERIAL IS BEST SUITED FOR BREATHABLE SHOES?
Natural materials such as merino wool are ideal for breathable shoes. Merino sheep are shorn up to twice a year and their fleece consists of light, thin hairs. The air chambers in the natural fibre ensure optimal temperature regulation. It is also a very good moisture manager. It can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture and slowly transport it to the outside. The warm summer air ensures that the absorbed moisture evaporates, creating a pleasantly cool feeling on the skin.
COOL SUMMER LOOKS: THE WOOL SNEAKER
Are you looking for shoes that are not only cool but also keep your feet cool? Then our Wool Sneakers are the perfect choice. They are made of a thin layer of merino knit, which stretches in all directions thanks to 3D knitting technology and moulds itself to your feet. Thanks to the fine merino wool, the sneakers are breathable and moisture-regulating. In addition, the special structure of the fibre prevents bacteria from settling in. This means that even after prolonged wear, there is no unpleasant odour.
OUR CLASSIC: THE MERINO RUNNER
If you prefer a slightly sportier style, our Merino Runners are the perfect choice. They are also made from high-quality mulesing-free merino wool and keep your feet cool in summer. For that real barefoot feeling, you can simply wear the Merino Runners without socks – without feeling sweaty. The lightweight EVA sole provides shock absorption and lasts longer than other soles.
BREATHABLE SPORTS SHOE: THE WOOL CROSS X
Hiking, jogging or walking? Our Wool Cross X is a true all-rounder and the perfect partner for your outdoor activities. The world's first merino sports shoes draw their advantages from the natural properties of merino wool. The removable merino wool insole offers additional comfort and improves temperature and moisture regulation. The water-repellent Wool Cross X can handle any terrain thanks to its Micro-Grip sole technology.
UNIQUE KNIT LOOK: THE MERINO WOOL KNIT
The fourth breathable summer shoe in the GIESSWEIN sneaker family is our Merino Wool Knit. The sneaker gets its unusual design from the additional layer of our 3D knit. The soft merino wool keeps your feet cool in summer and prevents unpleasant odours when worn barefoot. Like many of our sneakers, the Merino Wool Knit is machine washable at 30°C.
