• Product information

  Resurrecting the natural
  Rewilding Europe and Wildling Shoes* are committed to creating space for complex natural processes. This includes natural grazing and intact food chains, alongside environmental-social commerce and education.

  Field and forest
  The all-over print recounts the story of foxes and deer, orchids and trees, mountains and lakes, which together make up the healthy, biodiverse ecosystem that Wildling Shoes’ and Rewilding Europe’s collaborative project* aims to create space for.

  The little feet in the dry
  Thanks to their particularly dense weave, the fabrics that combine to create Zora naturally repel water to keep little feet dry.

  * Wildling x Rewilding Europe
  From 2020 to 2022, Wildling Shoes supported the work of Rewilding Europe, among other things, through its membership in the non-profit organization "1% for the Planet", which connects companies with high-impact non-profit partners. As Wildling Shoes is affected by the current global economic situation in various ways, we unfortunately have to stop direct financial support at the end of 2022 – but Wildling Shoes and Rewilding Europe will remain connected, both ideologically and in practice.

  Please note:
  Colors appear different depending on the lighting conditions. Because of this, Zora's color can appear warmer on a sunny autumn day and cooler on a gray winter morning.

• Care

  Waterproofing before first-time wear

  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). 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.

  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 and carefully brushing them out when they’re dry, or by gently wiping them down with a damp cloth. Not machine washable. The upper may rub off onto light-colored fabrics when wet.

  Post-treatment

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

  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.

• 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.

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

  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.
