Wool Peak

Imagine lacing up and feeling it straight away: there’s extra energy in every step. Wool Peak is the world’s first running shoe made from merino wool, giving you noticeable rebound thanks to a specially developed midsole with pleasantly soft cushioning. Its particularly hard-wearing yet flexible wool fabric ensures shape retention even during intense runs, while the merino lining efficiently wicks moisture outwards. The grippy rubber outsole keeps you secure on wet surfaces; width G is ideal for standard to wide feet. Get that running feel that keeps you motivated to go further – every day.

Wool Trek X

From the very first lace-up, Wool Trek X shows what modern outdoor comfort means: the quick-lacing system fits in a flash, the padded tongue prevents pressure points, and the water-repellent upper stays breathable – ideal in any weather. Inside, a supple merino jersey lining naturally regulates your foot climate: warm in winter, cool in summer and pleasantly odour-neutral. A grippy lugged outsole delivers stability and traction on varied terrain; the lightweight EVA midsole and the cushioned, removable footbed ease the strain on your joints. Easy to reproof and with a clean look, it’s ready for trekking, trails and an active everyday life.

What do our customers say?

★★★★★ I bought the Wool Peak Women for myself and my mother – perfect for me because, with an inflamed tendon, I can wear an insole and the shoes are nicely soft; for my mother they’re ideal because of her heel spur and extremely comfortable to wear. Full recommendation!
Tatjana

★★★★★ Giesswein’s shoes are the most comfortable I’ve had so far, the Wool Peak Women included. They’re super comfortable, well made, well ventilated and look great. And you can rely on the sizing, too. I would buy them again.
