Bruklin chestnut

Wildling goes Chelsea boot: slip them on and start walking. Thanks to the elastic inserts on the sides, Bruklin chestnut doesn’t need any laces. The Wildling in adult sizes is a practical everyday shoe that is cut between a mid and high cut and can be paired in a variety of ways thanks to its brown-blue color scheme.

With its Shell Sole and integrated water-repellent membrane, Bruklin chestnut keeps moisture out. The lining as well as the sewn-in inner soles are made from wool from Wildling's cooperation partner Nordwolle, it keeps warm while regulating the climate. For extra warmth in the shoe, insoles such as Wooly or Felty can be added.

The upper material of Bruklin chestnut is made from a combination of hemp from VirgoCoop

(40%) and virgin wool from Nordwolle (60%). In addition to the climate-regulating properties of wool, the hemp fibers have dirt-repellent and tear-resistant properties - they are also particularly soft and comfortable to wear.

Incidentally, Bruklin is inspired by the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne - the Brooklyn of Cologne, as rumor has it.

Waterproofing before first-time wear

There is no need to apply waterproofing treatment to the entire shoe right out of the box.

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.

Post-treatment

We recommend follow-up waterproofing treatments with a suitable product if necessary.

Allow shoes to dry thoroughly after waterproofing. The upper may rub off onto light-colored fabrics when wet.

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

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.

The upper may rub off onto light-colored fabrics when wet.

Made in Portugal

We leave very special footprints in Wildlings. Their unique soles are designed with great attention to detail based on a wealth of experience. They come in a wide variety of options to meet the needs of any phase of life. For #ThatWildlingFeeling that accompanies us every step of the way.

Many autumn/winter Wildlings are processed using wool from the Baltic Sea island of Rügen, the home of the Nordwolle. Nordwolle has been an impressive wool supplier ever since its foundation and a Wildling cooperation partner for many years.

Especially practical in the autumn and winter – the higher the shoe reaches up on our legs, the less chance there is that rain, mud and snow can end up in our socks.
