Giesswein Vent Lodge Shoes

When you’re tired of trading ski boots for sloppy athletic shoes that get soggy and ruined. When it’s time to stride into the night with friends for the world’s most amazing buffalo quesadilla. When relaxing means a chance to restore tired feet and turn-pumping legs. From Austrian wool-meisters (our tester’s term) comes footwear that defies at least three categories. And dominates in the process with a removable cork-latex footbed tucked into odor-resistant boiled wool of superior density and durability vis a vis competitive models. Yes, the outsole carries enough tread and waterproof performance to handle most conditions in an arch-loving shoe. Testers turned to this one for quick trips to the market, prolonged writing sessions and travel over the holidays. Even before owning resort stays from the first step into the wooden-beamed Great Room. Note: the Ocean Blue colorway is a favorite.
