WOOL CROSS X by Giesswein - The World‘s Most Comfortable WOOL SPORT SHOE
The Wool Cross X by Giesswein is the world’s first high-performance sport shoe with a 100% Merino wool lining. Designed with micro-grip technology and temperature regulating fabric, the Wool Cross X is sure to keep your feet happy on all of life’s trails.
100% 3D Stretch Merino Wool Lining
The small air chambers in our wool regulate the temperature in the shoe. When you wear this revolutionary shoe, you’ll experience a cooling effect during the hot, summer months and a warming effect during the cold winter months. The Wool Cross X is even wearable without socks. No sweaty feet, no smell—just pure comfort!
Every WOOL CROSS X draws away up to 125ml of sweat without feeling wet!
Removable and Replaceable Insole made of Merino Wool
Another Merino wool highlight of our Wool Cross X is its interchangeable footbed. The shoe’s footbed is covered in 100% Merino wool. Experience a performance footbed with long-term cushioning!
No matter if you’re exploring in snow, rocks, water, wood, mud or sand, the Wool Cross X is perfect for all of life's trails. We’ve employed micro-grip sole technology which is made for hiking, trekking, mountaineering and trail running. Ready for all of life’s adventures.
What’s inside the Wool Cross X?
We source our Wool from some of the most eco friendly farmers in the World. Learn more about the treatment of our sheep:
- fed on natural grass
- drink recycled rainwater
- no chemicals used, and no animals harmed: 100% sustainable, 100% mulesing-free, 100% of the wool used
- electricity used is from solar panels
- even the biogas is recycled
Sustainable Manufacturing Process
In the footwear industry, 20% of the material used is thrown away as scraps and lost forever. We've found a new way to process our wool while producing 0% waste. 100% of our wool scraps are recycled and transformed into recycled yarns.

Founded as a family business, Giesswein is currently being run by its third generation. We, Markus and Johannes Giesswein, grew up surrounded by and learning about wool. At Giesswein, we’ve made it our mission to create one-of-a-kind products by reinventing the positive attributes of wool. Our goal is to process our wool in such a way that its best properties are highlighted and well-used. In order to reach this goal, we continue to develop and produce unique fabrics from our own production center in Tyrol, Austria. We hand-select only the best raw wool, and source according to the highest ethical and ecological standards.
We truly believe in Kickstarter as a platform, where like-minded entrepreneurs and early adopters bring innovative, disruptive and sophisticated projects to life. We already have run a successful Kickstarter campaign and love this outstanding community. The WOOL CROSS X is a new generation of active outdoor shoe. Kickstarter connects us with people like us; fact-interested, early-adopting and technology-enthusiastic people. We strongly believe that we've created a product that many people are eager for, ourselves included. We do also highly appreciate all feedback and requests regarding our WOOL CROSS X.
