The Merino trainers from GIESSWEIN are an ideal choice for people with wider feet who often find it difficult to find shoes that fit, as conventional models are often too narrow. Especially for people with hallux valgus, a deformity of the big toe, shoes with more space in the ball of the foot and toe area are crucial for a comfortable and pain-free wearing experience. Our trainers are not only soft and comfortable, but also offer an outstanding wearing experience that lasts all day. Our innovative 3D knitting technology creates a unique stretch effect that moulds perfectly to the shape of your foot and feels like a second skin. With our Merino trainers, you can be comfortable and happy even with wider feet.

WOOL TRAIL X

The Wool Trail X by GIESSWEIN is the ideal sports shoe for wider feet. The 3D stretch merino wool lining flexibly adapts to the shape of your foot, offering plenty of space without feeling restrictive. The original VIBRAM® outsole made of Megagrip compound guarantees maximum grip on any surface – from snow and mud to rough terrain. Thanks to the water-repellent membrane, your feet stay dry even in bad weather, while the breathable merino wool ensures a comfortable temperature.
The Wool Trail X impresses with its G width – perfect for normal to wider feet. The high cushioning of the EVA midsole and the support at the heel optimise your rolling motion and ensure running comfort for hours. TPU reinforcements on the toe caps and upper offer additional protection on long mountain trails. These shoes combine comfort, stability and functionality.

Perfect - exactly what I wanted and expected. I couldn't be happier with these shoes. I struggle with neuropathy in my feet and these shoes are soft, warm and just so comfortable. I will be buying another pair as soon as the summer colours are available.
