Arun

• Product information

  Pure nature: the upper material of the Arun model is made from undyed linen fabric in a robust canvas weave. The upper material was created in collaboration with Wildling partner VirgoCoop. VirgoCoop is a cooperative based in France that is committed to building ecological and social textile supply chains from fiber to fabric.

  With the linen fabric, the shoe can feel a little stiff at first - a typical characteristic of the natural material. However, this quickly changes: after just a short period of wear, it feels soft.

  The lining is made of cotton from Cotonea, a brand that also stands for sustainable and transparent supply chains. The off-white outsole adds to the understated and elegant look, as does the delicate embroidery on the heel.

• Care

  Waterproofing before first-time wear

  Waterproofing is generally not required for this model as it does not have any water-repellent properties. We leave it up to you to decide whether you still want to waterproof the shoes.

  Cleaning

  The best way to clean soiled shoes is by knocking them together when they are dry, brushing them carefully as needed when dry, or by wiping them carefully with a damp cloth. Not machine washable.

  We recommend removing the insoles from the shoes after use for airing and to avoid moisture build-up.
  They can be carefully washed by hand. Allow to dry completely before putting them back. Not machine washable.

  Video tutorials explaining how to care for your shoes are available on the Wildling Shoes YouTube channel.

• Additional notes

  Every single shoe is a handmade one of a kind, with an upper made from natural material. The structure and coloration may exhibit minor irregularities.

  A hue appears different depending on the lighting conditions. That's why colors always look a little different on the screen, in artificial light at home, or outside in sunlight.

  Due to linen’s and hemp’s natural properties, the upper may exhibit occasional bunching. Fortunately, this does not affect the quality of your shoe.

  When putting on, please note: Widen the opening of the shoe sufficiently by loosening the laces. This minimizes wear on the material and extends the life of the shoe.
