What is Merino wool?
Merino is a natural and unique fibre comprising 100% pure wool from Merino sheep raised in the valleys of Serra da Estrela, Portugal. It’s one of the softest, most authentic, sustainable and versatile
wools in the world – and a perfect choice for the natural comfort that KOEL shoes demand. By using this
material, KOEL is preserving and bringing new life to an ancestral
tradition.
Barefoot
Shoes with wide toe boxes with minimalist soles that leave space for movement and development.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Merino wool is naturally ecological, recyclable and renewable. As a biodegradable agro product, it can be used as a fertilizer.
COMFORTABLE
Merino wool fibres are finer and lighter than other wools, making them extremely soft and anti-static, so they don’t cause skin discomfort or irritation.
WATER-PROOF
Merino wool is highly water-resistant whilst also being breathable, helping sweat evaporate to keep feet dry.
THERMAL
Merino wool has excellent thermal properties, which allows KOEL shoes to always maintain ideal body temperature.
