I bought Medlar 42 with wool insoles. I have used them for about 2 years now so i think i am qualified to give an honest review. First of all it's an hate & love experience wearing them. The love side of them is that the overall design is superior and brilliant in a sense that they are super minimalistic and at the same time fullfills the requirements for a heavy duty shoe that keep your foot warm and flexible. I live in sweden and sometimes it reach under -25 c° and i have walked on pure icy roads in -20 c° wearing wool insoles and summer socks and it is impressive. The hate side of the shoes is that they are narrow. There is little to no difference between regular shoes and wildling shoes on the overall width. Only the toebox shape is different but the width remains the same which makes my toes non flexible and makes my toes colder than rest of my foot because of the restrictive movement. That is sad because 80% of the shoes is sooo good and so well designed but unfortunately everything falls because of the restrictive toebox and everytime i walk in them is pure joy except that my brain constantly thinks about my toes being claustrophobic. The downside of the shoes is sadly to big for me buying wildling shoes again. It is sad because the design is so great and the quality is really good as well. I really hope they could make a version with a wider toebox and not just unisex shoes. Males have generally much wider/bigger foot than females. I believe many people use barefoot shoes for the health benefit rather then design. So for me personally and many others, people dont mind if the shoe "look" wider. So my primary message to wildling is to start produce versions with wider toebox. Me personally wont buy another wildling shoe again until they have wider shoes to choose from. It is sad because i really really like them except they don't give me the health benefit and the feeling i could have right now wich made my buy shoes from other brands even though i wanted to buy wildling shoes. I hope in the nearest future they rethink and adapt theire shoes.
