Which GIESSWEIN shoes are suitable if I find it difficult to bend down?

  • Updated

If bending down, tying laces or spending longer periods adjusting your shoes is difficult – for example after an operation, due to limited mobility or with increasing age – we recommend models that are particularly easy to put on and take off. 👟

Depending on how you plan to use them, the Merino Easy Step, GIESSWEIN Beach and Wool Trek X are especially suitable.

 

Merino Easy Step – especially easy with Velcro fasteners

The Merino Easy Step features two individually adjustable Velcro fasteners.

This makes the shoe quick and easy to open and close without having to tie traditional laces.

Especially practical for:

  • people who find it difficult to bend down or remain bent over for long
  • quick and uncomplicated putting on and taking off
  • individually adjustable support across the foot
  • everyday wear and walks

The removable footbed also allows you to use your own orthopaedic insoles, provided the shape and size are suitable.

Wool Trek X – for outdoor use with a practical dial lacing system 

For hiking, walks and outdoor activities, we recommend the Wool Trek X.

Instead of traditional laces, this model features a practical dial lacing system. This allows the shoe to be adjusted quickly and evenly without having to tie laces in the usual way.

This is particularly helpful if bending down or tying shoes is difficult.

The Wool Trek X also offers:

  • quick opening and closing
  • even adjustment around the foot
  • grippy VIBRAM® sole
  • removable Merino footbed
  • suitable for walks, hiking and outdoor activities
