Your Wildlings have arrived! How do they fit?
Making sure your Wildlings fit well is simple:
- Try them on just like you plan to wear them later: whether you’ll use additional insoles or wear thin or thick socks (and for hygiene reasons, please remember to wear socks when trying them on).
- Make sure to tie the shoelaces properly
While threading the laces, feel free to skip the top eyelet if that feels better for you. Just give it a try and see what works best. The laces are designed to help the shoe fit snugly and prevent slipping. You can also walk around your home to see how they feel. Are you comfortable?
Do your wild companions have enough room at the front?
The shoe should feel comfortable overall and provide a pleasant experience while walking. For adult feet, we suggest leaving about a thumb's width of space between the end of the shoe and the longest toe. For children's feet, a little extra space is fine. The key is to ensure they don’t trip.
Do your Wildling shoes feel too roomy up front?
Do you feel like you have too much room in your Wildling shoes? That’s not unusual at first! Thanks to the wide toe box and flexible sole, a Wildling feels completely different from conventional shoes. Give your feet—and your first impression—a little time to get used to this new, free-feeling walking experience.
Tip: Sometimes an extra or different insole makes all the difference. It can help you optimize the fit or serve as a bridge between half sizes.
