Review Time
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.
The shoes I bought are really very nice, just as the pictures on the website. But as others have said the website is misleading about UK import duties and taxes. The website says those apply to goods above £135. My shoes were £132, but Wildling unexpectedly added the cost of the postage to the value of the goods. I had to pay more than £68 in taxes and duties. Had I known I would have asked relatives to receive them and bring them over next visit.Also all the links to maintenance products are broken, so we cannot buy the stuff needed to impregnate them.

Wow. That went wrong. I just burned my feet. I live in a hot climate in Colombia… asfalt is 50-60 degrees Celsius… no way you can walk around in these shoes here.Same shoes can be handmade for 1/4 of the price here.Edit after reply: If you agree that the shoes you produce don’t fit higher temperatures (it is not about my sensitivity, feet are just not protected, and that’s what shoes are about), please refund me or at least write it on your Website.
I have just ordered two pairs of Wildling shoes but did not even think about the fact that there would be an import tax of them! I am in the UK. I was contacted by DHL advising the import taxes were 107.44 pounds, nearly the same price as one shoe! Wildling do state on there website that there may be import taxes but it is not clear, does not flag when you buy them and you would only see it if you were looking for it. I'm a bit disappointed and now having a stressful time trying to sort this out as there is no number to actually talk to a person at Wildling, only a chatbot which can't help and email contact which takes time.
It is a great company and the shoes are great, unfortunately it is lacking a clear transparency of all costs that may be incurred. I ordered from the UK trusting that the shipping cost of £14 would indicate the final amount, however, I received an email from DHL with a request of £100 to allow the import. I understand that Wilding has no control over import charges, however, for a great customer service, clarity of expected amounts so it is possible to make an informed decision would help for the service. I received half of the import charges reimbursed as a sign of goodwill however, as one shoes where to big I had no chance of exchange without incurring further costs and lost £64 in the whole process. (Import plus shipping cost).
I purchased shoes on July 20th, before the end of August the shoes are falling apart. The sole is separating, and the tread on the shoe is all but gone. When i contacted them about it they told me to glue them back myself. For less than a months worth of wear and for shoes that cost 150 us dollars. I think that is absolutely garbage. They wouldn't exchange the shoes because "they aren't available." But show in stock on the website, they wont refund me or send me another pair. They did offer a whole 15 euro store credit. Total BS. This is terrible customer service for cheap a$$ shoes.
Amazingly a really good shoe. Ok, they are REALLY thin - I was out in nature somewhere, and a spike will go through the sole. But they are really good for your feet, I have done hikes around Greece in these, and they are light and good, and actually have a nice grip on the rocks. I personally don't like the higher/boot models but the sandals and low shoes are really good. (I've had a few at this point). Love that it's all made in the EU and company supports environmental projects.
