Family-run footwear brand Giesswein is claiming to have launched the
world’s lightest Merino wool sneaker with its latest product launch.
The new Giesswein ‘Wool Sneaker’ is only 160g, almost half the weight of
an average running shoe, and the equivalent to 100 paper clips, 150 jelly
beans, 160 feathers or even 800 raindrops explains the brand.
The aim of the new unisex sneaker is to revolutionising a “lightweight
feel” by utilising a thin upper material made from our unique 3D stretch
Merino wool and ultra-light EVA foam soles, which are proven to last longer
than a traditional rubber sole.
As well as being lightweight, the Wool Sneaker is also both temperature
and moisture-regulating, which means sweat-free feet and they have been
designed to allow the wearer to be barefoot and go sock-free, as the
sneakers can be machine washed as 30°C (90°F.). In addition, the Wool
Sneakers have unique Merino interchangeable footbed offers even more
comfort.
The new unisex lightweight sneaker comes in a range of colours including
pink, yellow, red, navy blue, black, grey and white, priced 89 pounds.
Giesswein was founded as a family business and is currently being run by
the third generation, Markus and Johannes Giesswein. Based in Austria,
Giesswein is the largest and number 1 producer of wool shoes across Europe
and in 2019 sold more than 1 million woolen shoes.
