Chestnut

The wool-hemp upper of the Chestnut model creates a pleasantly warm feeling for our feet thanks to its natural climate-regulating properties.

The combination of hemp from VirgoCoop (40%) and virgin wool (60%) creates a lively shimmer on the textile surface and gives the fabric an especially smooth look.

The upper transitions smoothly into the heel loop – for an effortless slip into the lined Chestnut. Off into wooly warm adventures!

Upper:
Canvas (60% virgin wool, 40% hemp) – brown-blue

Membrane:
100% polyester

Lining / insole:
Felted wool loden (100% virgin wool)

Edging:
Microfiber (100% polyamide) – coffee brown

Outsole:
Wildling outsoles are made of synthetic rubber (partially recycled), silica and natural rubber. Depending on the model, cork particles may be included. Color – brown-gray

True to size as measured with the Size Finder. Runs a little wider and provides ample room at the forefoot. For narrow feet, we recommend an insole.

Waterproofing before first-time wear

Before first-time wear, we do recommend that you waterproof the edging again. This may cause the edging to darken slightly, so don’t be surprised. There is no need to apply waterproofing treatment to the entire shoe right out of the box – that has already been taken care of during production (and in this case, doubling up won’t make it last longer).

Tip: Using a brush is the best way to apply the waterproofing product. If you choose to spray it on, be sure to cover the rest of the shoe. Repeat the waterproofing treatment as needed.

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.

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.

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.

When using ride-on toys, we recommend additional protection against scuffing.

For decades, hemp had almost disappeared from Europe. Yet hardly any other plant is so well suited for regenerative material production. That's why Wilding and VirgoCoop have teamed up to reactivate old knowledge and re-establish European supply chains.
