Sneakers without socks: GIESSWEIN's secret for ultimate comfort
Wearing sneakers without socks may sound unconventional to some, but with GIESSWEIN's high-quality shoes, this concept becomes a soothing reality. In this blog post, we'll tell you why you can go without socks and enjoy comfort and style at the same time.
Can you wear shoes without socks?
Opinions differ widely on whether or not it is advisable to wear socks in shoes. There are different findings that have been made in science that clarify the influence of the shoe material. For example, it is said that conventional sneakers can harbour a remarkable bacteria culture that spreads three times faster without wearing socks than when socks are used. Various articles on this topic show that the question of whether or not to wear socks in sneakers is not the only important one. Much more decisive is the material from which the shoes are made.
Merino wool: The secret weapon for quality and comfort in GIESSWEIN shoes.
GIESSWEIN has been known as an expert in wool since 1954, and our loyal customers appreciate the outstanding quality of our shoes. To effectively counteract unpleasant perspiration and the odour that can arise after taking off your shoes, we rely on a proven solution: Merino wool. Thanks to the natural properties of merino wool, our shoes impress with their breathability, temperature- and moisture-regulating properties as well as their antibacterial effect.
What makes merino wool special?
The crimped structure of merino sheep's wool attracts bacteria more quickly than smooth surfaces such as synthetic fibres. It can also absorb an impressive 30% of its weight in moisture, which it wicks away to the outside without becoming damp itself. This ensures lasting comfort and freshness in our shoes. The use of merino wool as a sweat and odour fighter underlines our dedication to high-quality materials and maximum wearing comfort. Merino wool fibres are made up of different types of cells that can absorb different amounts of moisture and swell, thus constantly cleaning themselves. Particularly important is the keratin it contains, which combats unpleasant odours and prevents excessive sweating. Socks are not necessary in our shoes, as these properties keep your feet dry and odour-free, even after taking off your sneakers.
