Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our wool products and services
Are Giesswein shoes machine washable?
Yes, most of our wool sneakers and slippers can be washed in the machine at 30°C (85°F) on a wool cycle. Do not use a dryer.
What makes Merino wool better than synthetic materials?
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and antibacterial, meaning it stays odor-free and comfortable in both summer and winter.
Do I need to wear socks with my Giesswein shoes?
Our shoes are designed with a unique 3D stretch technology and soft wool lining, making them incredibly comfortable to wear barefoot.
How do I find the right size?
We recommend using our size chart found on each product page. If you are between sizes, we generally suggest sizing down for our wool sneakers.
Where are Giesswein products manufactured?
Our products are designed and manufactured in our traditional production facility in Tyrol, Austria, ensuring the highest quality standards.
Is the wool ethically sourced?
Absolutely. We only use mulesing-free wool and maintain strict animal welfare standards across our entire supply chain.
