Winter trainers: Stay stylish throughout the cold season
Discover why winter trainers, with their lightweight comfort and warming properties, are the ideal choice for the cold season.
No more cold feet! When temperatures drop, you need shoes that keep you warm and comfortable. Winter trainers combine both of these qualities: they offer sporty comfort and keep your feet warm during the cold season.
The big advantage is obvious – or rather, on your feet: lightweight shoes allow you to take longer walks without blisters or pain. You enjoy freedom of movement and comfort with every step. Added to this is versatility: you can easily combine winter trainers with jeans, a skirt or even a suit, so you're ready for any occasion.
What makes a good winter sneaker
When choosing your winter sneakers, you should look for certain features that make the difference between cold and warm feet:
Breathability: Your feet should stay comfortable even during longer activities. If you start to sweat while shopping in winter, a breathable shoe will regulate moisture.
Cushioning and joint protection: A high-quality sole cushions every step and relieves pressure on your joints. This is especially important if you walk a lot.
Slip resistance: Icy roads, slush and rain call for a sole that gives you a secure grip. A balanced tread sole ensures good traction.
Thermal insulation: Of course, your feet should stay warm – and preferably without any extra weight.
Merino wool: the material for warm feet
Merino wool is a real all-rounder for winter trainers. The natural fibre has temperature-regulating properties that keep your feet comfortably warm in winter. At the same time, merino wool is naturally water-repellent – an important advantage in damp transitional weather.
Another plus point: the antibacterial effect of the fibre prevents odours from forming, even when your feet get warm during longer activities. This keeps your feet fresh all day long.
