Care
Care
This minimal shoe is water-permeable. Combined with the "Washi" insole, it can also be worn in water and dries in no time. Consequently, waterproofing is not necessary.
If the shoes get soiled, it’s best to brush them clean gently when they’re dry or wash them gently by hand. Not machine washable.
The insole is also washable and should be removed after use for proper drying and airing out. It protects wild paws and the inner sole from wear and tear.
If this minimal shoe walks through salt water with you, we recommend rinsing it well with fresh water afterwards.
You can find shoe care products for your Wildling shoes here.
Video tutorials explaining how to waterproof, cleaning and care, and how to insert the elastic laces are available on the Wildling Shoes YouTube channel.
If your little Wildling loves ride-on toys or balance bikes, we recommend additional protection against abrasion.
