Did you know? 🧐 Wool will absorb water on the outer surface but with the tightly woven fabrics that we use it will dry quickly when out of the water. This is because the cells have a waxy coating, making wool water repellent. The structure still allows absorption of water vapour which gives its wicking properties. Wool garments are naturally shower-proof and also stain resistant because spills don’t soak in easily. #giesswein #merinowool #woolfashion #wool #sustainability

Worried that your Cactus Sneakers will get dirty too fast? Don't be! 🌵 If your sneakers ever get dirty, you can easily clean them off with a damp cloth. But there’s one thing you should never do: don’t put them into the washing machine or dryer! Head out and enjoy your summer without worrying about stains. #giesswein #vegan #sneakerstyle #summer #cactus

Can cactus leather compete with animal leather? Of course! 🌵 Not only is this vegan leather alternative environmentally friendly—it also still has many of the positive qualities of its animal original. Cactus leather is flexible, performs well, looks great and feels comfortable. 🌵 Plus, it’s completely free of chemical ingredients, such as PVC or phthalates. #giesswein #cactusleather #vegan #sneakerstyle #sustainability

Did you know? 🌵🧐 How is the vegan cactus leather produced? First, just a few leaves of the cactus are cut off so that the plant won't be damaged. In six to eight months, it simply grows back and can be harvested again. After harvesting, the leaves are crushed and then simply dry in the sun. Thus, no additional energy is consumed on the plantation, all processes are completely organic. #giesswein #cactuslover #ecofashion #production #new #organic

Natural rubber: The miracle cure! With our sole made of natural rubber, you’ll always have perfect grip in our Cactus Sneaker - no matter the surface. 🌵 It also makes the shoe both lightweight and comfortable. The Cactus Sneaker is the right companion for everyday life - work, city trips and walks are all a breeze in these sneakers. #giesswein #comfy #vegan #sustainablefashion #sneaker

Want to wear your leather shoes…even in the summer? No problem! 🌵 Both the lining and insole of the Cactus Sneaker are made of organic cotton. This means that the cotton comes from non-genetically manipulated plants, and is also not treated with pesticides. Together with the cactus leather, organic cotton has a temperature-regulating and breathable effect, just like you already know and love from our other popular Giesswein shoe models. Thanks to this power couple of organic cotton and cactus leather, you’ll feel pleasantly fresh in the summer, and will never be cold in winter. #giesswein #summer #cactuslover #streetstyle #chic

Did you know? 🌵 Nopal has a long tradition in herbal medicine in Mexico. Even the Aztec cultures appreciated the cactus for its versatile effects. And today, this rings true: the prickly pear cactus is still a popular food in Mexico. Its fruits are used to make products such as cheese, honey, alcohol and sprout oil. The cactus’ leafy sprouts are ubiquitous in Mexican cuisine, and often serve as a salad garnish or taco topping. #giesswein #cactus #fashion #tradition #sneakerfreaker

Sustainability Matters: 🌵 The prickly pear plant, also called nopal, is a species of cactus that is originally from Mexico. The plant is truly incredible - it was even chosen as the cactus of the year in 2019. The prickly pear doesn’t require much to grow: it just needs a lot of sun, and grows happily with the few minerals it gets from rainwater and the barren Mexican desert soil. Even cold weather can’t harm this cactus! And the best part: the prickly pear is so widespread that it produces the most environmentally friendly leather you’ve ever seen. #giesswein #cactusleather #vegan #sustainablefashion #sneaker

Stay safe and secure with our Cactus Sneaker: 🌵 their Performance Sole made of natural rubber features a zig-zag design, which ensures stable footing—and is especially grippy. #giesswein #sneakers #fashion #sustainablefashion #veganshoes

Cactus 🌵 leather is sure to win you over: the durable properties of this new material will make this comfortable sneaker innovation the absolute highlight of your wardrobe! #giesswein #cactus #cactusleather #shoes #sneakerfreaker

Tomorrow our new CACTUS SNEAKER will finally officially be launched! 🌵 Cactus on your feet? 🌵 Yes, you heard right. For decades, GIESSWEIN has been known for our sustainable Merino footwear. Now, we have taken a new path. In addition to our popular, well-known Merino sneakers, we’re now proud to offer shoes made of vegan cactus leather - a material which poses real competition to animal leather. The idea to use this raw material came to us because this plant does not need a lot of water to grow, 💦 and because it grows in abundance in Mexico. The prickly pear cactus (also called nopal) is symbolic for the country of Mexico, and is very versatile. In addition, it is free of phthalates, toxic chemicals and PVC. Cactus leather offers flexibility and softness, and is very similar to animal leather. Plus, unlike other leather alternatives, cactus leather is very durable. So we’re taking green strategy 🌳 and chic to a whole new level. Save the date! #giesswein #cactus #cactuslover #cactusleather

Happy weekend, everyone! ✨ 🤫 Our new shoe - which we’re about to reveal very soon! - will be different from all the rest. But there’s one way they WON’T be different: these new sneakers will be just as comfortable as our other popular Merino Shoes that you know and love. 💯 These surprise new sneakers are a real comfort miracle: they’re lightweight, flexible, temperature-regulating and breathable. Plus, their material is extremely durable! Only 2 days left! #giesswein #sneakers #fashion #sustainability

Coming soon: If you've always wanted to walk long distances without your feet 👣 hurting, then this is the shoe for you. Their interchangeable footbed, which is made of organic cotton,🌱 will keep you feeling comfortable all day long. Plus, it offers optimal cushioning to support you even on long walks. Wear them to work, for city trips or even on a bike - these new sneakers have no limits. 🤫 #giesswein #sneakers #sneakerstyle #sustainability #fashion

Water 💦 is the most valuable resource on earth, 🌳 but unfortunately we humans are often wasteful with it. If humanity continues like this, we’ll be struggling with our water supply in the years to come. So we have to act NOW. Since 1997, GIESSWEIN has used a water recycling machine that helps us recycle 90% of our water. And with this new sneaker, we’ve achieved another breakthrough: it’s made from the most sustainable material available, and consumes even less water - so we avoid unnecessarily high water consumption. Only 4 more days to go! ✨ #giesswein #new #launch #sustainability #ecofashion

🤫 Yesterday we announced the release of something new that we’re launching on Sunday! Are you constantly annoyed by your socks? Then this new shoe is probably going to be your new favorite.
