This feather-light minimal shoe is simply perfect for nimble feet. The special washi material made from 75% paper and 25% polyester by the Japanese company Itoitex nestles pleasantly around the foot while giving it room to breathe.

Thanks to its innovative processing, skin only comes into contact with the paper, while the polyester on the outside of the Tanuki makes the shoe resistant to abrasion. This unique fabric from Japan is temperature regulating and boasts naturally antibacterial properties.

The microfiber heel cushion provides protection for sensitive paws. We recommend kneading it gently prior to first-time wear to make sure it’s supple and pliable.

The navy elastic laces can be swapped out for other laces for added colorful fun.

Please note:
To ensure the best possible comfort, the Tanuki models are now equipped with an insole made of temperature- and moisture-balancing hemp-flax fleece. If you want to wear the water-permeable, quick-drying Wildling shoes outdoors in cool, wet conditions, you’ll find the right washi replacement sole here.

Every single shoe is a handmade one of a kind. The structure and coloration may exhibit minor irregularities.
Extensive wear can create a denim effect of sorts.
