Faunus

The Wildling Leather Shoe
Timeless, sustainable, and durable: Wildling’s Faunus combines wild leather with the protective Shell Sole. The leather has a rough texture on the outside, while the smooth side nestles comfortably against the foot on the inside. Faunus is laced with waxed cotton laces.

Mid Cut in Earth Tones
Faunus owes its name to the ancient Italian god of nature and the forest. It is said to protect farmers and shepherds, their livestock, and their fields. Following this example, the Faunus is made for movement and is exceptionally durable.

From Wild To Wildling
Ecologically sourced and traditionally tanned, Faunus is born from wild deer leather. Sourced in partnership with local organizations who re-purpose wild deer hides, Faunus represents a new lease on life for an otherwise unused by-product.

Waterproofing before first-time wear

There is no need to apply waterproofing treatment to the entire shoe right out of the box.

Cleaning

Leather Wildlings are best cleaned by brushing them dry. If the shoes have become wet or covered in dirt or mud, allow them to dry thoroughly first. Brush off the dirt gently so as not to damage the leather. If necessary, you can use a nubuck sponge for cleaning. We do not recommend using damp cloths.

Post-treatment

Wildling leather shoes are already treated. It's up to you if you want to treat them again. If you do, we recommend using impregnating products for suede or nubuck leather. After impregnating, you can roughen up the shoes again with a nubuck sponge if you want.

Video tutorials explaining how to care for your shoes are available on the Wildling Shoes YouTube channel.

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.

Please note that leather may mark light-coloured socks or feet when worn.

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.
