Rediscover trekking shoes: Merino comfort meets outdoor performance
Whether a spring tour in the low mountain ranges or an autumn trail in the woods: trekking shoes are your reliable partners on any terrain and in any season. What really counts for genuine hiking pleasure are high-quality materials inside and out, a solid tread and precise craftsmanship. That’s exactly where Giesswein’s trekking shoes come in: built tough yet wonderfully comfortable, so you can collect kilometre after kilometre with a smile. The timeless, functional design adapts effortlessly to your trekking outfit – sporty, clean and always on point. And because style isn’t a luxury, our sporty models also come in fresh, modern colour combinations.
But what exactly defines a trekking shoe?
Many also call it a hiking shoe or multifunctional shoe – and rightly so. It isn’t intended for climbing; it’s designed for rocky paths, long stages and varied tours. Its shape and stable lateral support reliably protect against twisting your ankle, while the construction allows enough flexibility for a natural roll-off. Because ‘trekking’ often means multi-day ventures, these shoes are particularly hard-wearing and suitable for everyday use at the same time. That way, you can wear them on the big route just as you can for city strolls or in the park – always with the reassuring feeling of stable, secure steps.
What should you look out for when choosing?
Top of the list is pure comfort: the shoe should be lightweight, breathable and free from any irritating pressure. Heavy materials and rigid synthetics make your feet tired – our solutions remain featherlight. A grippy sole gives you traction without adding extra weight. For added comfort, a 3D stretch inner lining made from merino wool regulates temperature, feels soft, and helps keep moisture and odours in check. Together with a cushioning midsole and thoughtful fit details, you’ll stay fresher for longer on the go – blister-free, confident and eager for the next stage.

Inside, merino wool with 3D knit ensures breathability and a pleasantly dry climate. Reflective details and the practical heel tab complete the package.

Thomas — ★★★★★
The Wool Trail X Men is the best hiking shoe I’ve ever had. It’s suitable for city strolls, football matches, gardening as well as for long hikes in the lower and high mountains. I wore them hiking in South Tyrol, for example (...). Really good grip, no slipping. Waterproof. The only downside: the laces come undone more often;
