Autumn, we’re ready - with Merino on our feet

Autumn is here: the leaves are changing, the air is cooler, and the summer shoes are slowly being put away. But what goes on your feet now? Especially at this time of year you need footwear that keeps you warm, is weatherproof, and still looks stylish. That’s exactly why we’ve curated the perfect selection of GIESSWEIN autumn shoes. Our top 4 models carry you confidently through wet streets, chilly strolls and smart city looks. Whether it’s a morning lap in the park, a shopping trip in the city or the commute to the office - with our Merino favourites you’re well equipped for any 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 delivers a natural, lightweight feel that even impresses barefoot. Removable footbeds with a Merino layer stabilise every step and noticeably increase comfort. Lightweight, grippy soles give you confidence on damp leaves without weighing you down. You get the best of both worlds: performance that delivers, and a look that always works.

And because autumn is so versatile, so are our shoes: from laid-back trainers to weatherproof companions with a higher cut - each model stands out with thoughtful details, premium craftsmanship 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 long. In the next sections, we present the four favourites that will carry you through the season in style and comfort. Choose your autumn hero and experience comfort that elevates every step.

 

Merino Runners

Let’s start with the Merino Runners: the premium Merino fabric wraps your foot all around with 360° comfort, regulates temperature and is pleasantly breathable - so there’s no sweaty feeling, even when you pick up the pace. 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 delight barefoot with a natural feel. Their clean design suits jeans, office looks and walks through colourful foliage. Width G provides a comfortable fit for average foot width - an all-rounder that puts a smile on 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 trainer - with a high collar that pleasantly stabilises your ankles. The first-class Merino wool ensures a consistently optimal foot climate, while its naturally water-repellent properties keep you dry in damp autumn weather. The removable Merino footbed cushions gently and holds the foot securely. 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 style.

Merino Leather Boot

When it turns properly wet and cold, the Merino Leather Boot plays to its strengths: high-quality, velvety nubuck leather meets a 360° Merino wool lining - waterproof yet breathable. The softly padded collar hugs comfortably, while the performance removable footbed with Merino felt stabilises your step. The grippy rubber sole gives you secure traction on slippery terrain and accompanies you reliably through rain, mud and city puddles. This boot unites a refined look, robust stability and palpable 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 in LWG Gold-certified suede delivers a premium appearance, while the supple Merino jersey lining softly cocoons 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 cushioned collar prevent pressure points, while the flat cotton laces stay put securely. The result: a modern trainer that casually combines luxury, function and everyday practicality – just right for your autumn city style.
