Shoes that bring families together

At GIESSWEIN you’ll find footwear for every family member – from lively preschoolers to active grandparents. Our styles combine a modern look with well‑thought‑out comfort and are made to accompany many shared moments: on a city stroll, at the playground or on long walks. Thanks to the benefits of Merino wool, everyone enjoys a pleasantly balanced foot climate that adapts to your activities. At the same time, we focus on long‑lasting quality and easy care, so your favourite pair will still delight you tomorrow. Practical footwear becomes a true feel‑good statement for the whole family – versatile, clever and always ready for everyday life.

 

Merino wool: feel‑good climate with every step

Merino wool is a true wonder fibre: it regulates temperature, wicks moisture away from the foot and creates a dry, balanced feel – whether you slip in barefoot or wear socks. At the same time, it is soft on the skin and flexible enough to move seamlessly with you. The result is tangible lightness that really counts in a busy family day. Anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet will appreciate the relaxed climate and dependable comfort from the first to the last step. And because Merino is so easy to care for, favourite pairs are quickly ready to wear again – for school, work and everything in between.

 

Style meets everyday practicality

Our range makes it easy to find the right pair for every day – stylish, comfortable and durable. Whether a sporty‑casual look, smart off‑duty style or a functional everyday companion: with GIESSWEIN, your shoe adapts to you, not the other way round. Thoughtful details meet timeless designs that combine effortlessly and carry you reliably through all seasons. The result is a blend of style and function that the whole family will love: simple to handle, comfortable on the foot and with that extra feel‑good factor you won’t want to miss after the first wear.

 

Merino Wool Knit: 3D‑stretch comfort

Whether on a walk, at the office or travelling – the Merino Wool Knit envelops your feet in 360° Merino wool and palpable lightness. Its 3D‑stretch knit sits flexibly and creates stretch zones that are especially pleasant, for example with hallux valgus. The removable footbed stabilises your stride, while the innovative, ultra‑light EVA sole gently cushions every step. Worn barefoot, you experience a dry, fresh skin feel; width G fits normal to broader feet perfectly. Easy to care for and made for many paths: this wool trainer is your ideal casual shoe – put on, feel good, set off.

Merino Easy Step: Velcro, comfort, clever

For anyone who loves things uncomplicated, the Merino Easy Step is the smartest choice. Slip in, fasten the strap, set off – no bending or lacing required. The breathable 3D Merino knit adapts to foot volume throughout the day; the cut is ideal for a normal to high instep. The comfortable Merino footbed can be swapped for your own insoles. At the same time, the lightweight EVA sole provides excellent cushioning, and non‑slip rubber inserts offer security in wet, cold weather. The reinforcing knit mesh at the heel adds extra stability. This relieves joints, promotes a natural gait and noticeably reduces fatigue.

Kids Barefoot Wool: walk naturally, playfully light

For children’s feet, every sensation counts: the Kids Barefoot Wool gives toes optimal room and makes putting on and taking off child’s play thanks to pull loops and two Velcro straps. The super‑light treaded rubber sole protects from sharp ground while still allowing ground feel – helping children intuitively return to a natural movement pattern. Breathable Merino wool ensures a pleasant climate, barefoot or with socks. This barefoot shoe supports the development of foot muscles, promotes coordination and motor skills and encourages a healthy, natural roll‑through. Practical for everyday life: absolutely easy‑care and machine washable at 30°C on the wool cycle.

What do our customers say?

Merino Wool Knit Women are very comfortable shoes. Never cold feet again. The fit is perfect. I normally need shoes in width H. As a result, the laces are just a little short – but there’s a remedy for that. A clear recommendation!
