### Sizing and Fit

**Which size should I order? How do Giesswein shoes fit?**
Choose your usual size. If you own Giesswein products, select the same size. View our size chart for Merino shoes, slippers, clothing, and hats at https://www.giesswein.com/pages/grossentabelle.

**Are the slippers suitable for insoles?**
Yes, models like Vent or Veitsch have removable insoles, making them compatible with custom or orthopedic insoles.

**Can I wear Merino shoes without socks?**
Yes, Merino wool’s breathable, temperature- and moisture-regulating, and antibacterial properties make barefoot wear comfortable without odors. Wear with socks for the first 3 days to prevent blisters and allow the shoe to adapt to your foot.

**Are Merino shoes waterproof? Do I need to impregnate them?**
Our wool shoes are water-repellent due to wool’s natural lanolin and lotus effect, so impregnation isn’t necessary. If desired, use a nano-spray for wool. For waterproof sports shoes, use a sports shoe impregnation spray.

**Is there a difference between women’s and men’s models?**
When offered for both, our shoes are unisex, differing only in size ranges.

**Where does our Merino wool come from?**
We source mulesing-free Merino wool from Australia, requiring high animal welfare standards. Contracts with partners ensure cruelty-free wool. Learn more about mulesing at the provided link.

**Are Giesswein shoes suitable for wide feet?**
Our shoes typically have a medium width. Check the width specification for each product.

**What is an EVA sole in Merino shoes?**
An EVA sole is made of lightweight, flexible plastic, less heat-conductive, highly shock-absorbing, and durable compared to rubber. Learn more at the provided link.

**What’s the difference between Merino Runners and Merino Wool Knit?**
The Merino Wool Knit features an additional 3D-knit Merino wool layer for a distinctive look. Its EVA sole has a diamond profile, unlike the grooved profile of the Merino Runner.

### Catalog and Product Care

**How do I get a Giesswein catalog?**
Browse products online at https://www.giesswein.com/. Request a catalog via shop@giesswein.com to join our catalog mailing list until canceled.

**How do I wash Giesswein products?**
Check individual product care instructions. Many can be washed at 30°C (wool cycle) in the washing machine but must not be tumble-dried, placed on hot surfaces, or dried in direct sunlight to avoid fabric damage. Avoid softeners or bleach.

**How do I wash Giesswein slippers?**
Care varies by product; follow product descriptions. Merino wool and cotton slippers are generally machine-washable at 30°C (wool or gentle cycle). Use a wash bag and wool detergent. Do not tumble dry, dry on a heater, or in direct sunlight, as this damages the natural rubber sole. Avoid softeners.

**How do I wash knitwear?**
Wool doesn’t need washing after every wear due to its self-cleaning effect; airing often suffices. Use liquid wool detergent and wash at up to 30°C (wool cycle). Follow label instructions. Roll wet items in absorbent towels, lay flat on a dry towel, shape, and air dry away from direct heat sources like ovens or radiators. Never tumble dry. Cover with a damp cloth if ironing, then let cool. Improper care may cause felting or shrinking.

**How do I care for wool felt (Walk)?**
Check label care symbols. Unless specified otherwise, hand-wash with liquid wool detergent in lukewarm water (30°C). Gently press out water without wringing, lay flat to dry, and reshape. Do not tumble dry or hang. Appliquéd jackets require extra care. Wool felt is durable and rarely needs washing due to its natural properties.

**How do I care for Merino shoes?**
Follow product-specific instructions. Most Merino shoes can be washed at 30°C (wool gentle cycle) in a wash bag with wool detergent. Do not wash with other textiles. Gently press out water without spinning. Air dry without mechanical aids, not in a tumble dryer. Remove light dirt with a cloth or soft brush. Use impregnation sprays suitable for breathable materials. See detailed tips at the provided Merino wool washing guide.
