Barefoot Line: Free your feet
Have you ever noticed how your shoes have a completely different shape than your feet? Ordinary shoes restrict and cramp your feet, so you can’t wait to take them off at the end of the day. Try wearing barefoot shoes, which give your toes the natural space and flexibility they need. In Ahinsa shoes, every step you take becomes a gentle massage for your feet — and your brain. Did you know that walking barefoot stimulates brain centers? And that’s not all. Wearing barefoot shoes also:
- Activates your entire kinetic chain
- Engages your core stabilization system
- Supports the function of your internal organs
Wear shoes that respect the natural shape and elasticity of your feet. Never worn barefoot shoes before? Give our Comfort Line a try first. These shoes come with foam insoles to soften each step. Once you’re ready to transition to barefoot, simply remove them.
Ethical CF+ material: Keep your feet dry
Head into the forest. Or climb a hill. In these shoes, the weather won’t catch you off guard. Our shoes are made from the highest quality European material CF+ (Cruelty Free High Performance material). It has increased water resistance on the outside, while on the inside it absorbs and reduces moisture. Even better? CF+ is extremely durable. You can scratch them with a fork (we’ve tried) and you won’t see a thing. Finally, shoes that won’t get scuffed up the moment you wear them outside!
- Wicks away sweat from your feet
- Increased water resistance
- Scratch-resistant

CF UltraDry lining: Dry feet even in the hot summer
We've been looking for a lining that would look after your feet for a long time. A lining that breathes and wicks moisture away from your feet. And we found it. It's called Cruelty Free UltraDry. It looks like leather, but it's so much better. 60% of this lining comes from corn polymer, a natural and easily recyclable material. We also love this lining for what it can do. It absorbs up to 8 times its weight in water, so your feet stay dry.
- Wicks away moisture from your feet
- Antibacterial
- Silky smooth to the touch
- Ecological and easily recyclable material
Lifo+: Extra flexible sole that lasts for years
You'll conquer any terrain with the German Lifo+ outsole. It's lightweight and as flexible as your feet. And it doesn't slip even on wet surfaces (we tried it), just be more careful on the ice-covered road. Wondering if they'll last? We've worked that out, too. We chose an extra-durable German compound that won't scuff easily.
- Thin and lightweight sole
- Reliable even on wet surfaces
- Maximum flexibility
- Resists wear and tear
As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms
Your stride is healthy and natural in Ahinsa shoes, studies carried out at Masaryk University confirm. According to the research, Ahinsa shoes allow your foot to engage just like when you walk barefoot. By contrast, ordinary shoes restrict your feet and block their natural sensory contact with the ground. Do something for your health, today.

Queen Victoria, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones are all famous owners of Chelsea boots. Now it's your turn to join their ranks.
These Chelsea boots have been improved to prioritize comfort and healthy feet. They have a zero drop and a spacious toe box, allowing you to walk naturally as if you were barefoot. The boots are made from indestructible vegan leather, making them both durable and vegan-friendly. Designed by physiotherapists, these boots ensure a comfortable and healthy stride. They are hand-made in the Czech Republic and Croatia and are 100% waterproof. The boots are quick to put on thanks to the flexible rubber material. For freezing temperatures, it's recommended to add winter insoles.
If you have a high instep, Ahinsa's lace-up ankle boots might be a better fit for you than the Chelsea boots.
Barefoot Line: Free your feet
Traditional shoes often restrict and cramp your feet. Try wearing barefoot shoes that allow your toes the natural space and flexibility they need. In Ahinsa shoes, every step becomes a gentle massage for your feet and your brain. Did you know that walking barefoot stimulates brain centers? In addition to that, wearing barefoot shoes activates your entire kinetic chain, engages your core stabilization system, and supports the function of your internal organs. Choose shoes that respect the natural shape and elasticity of your feet. If you've never worn barefoot shoes before, start with our Comfort Line, which comes with foam insoles to soften each step. Once you're ready to transition to fully barefoot, simply remove the insoles.
Ethical CF+ material: Keep your feet dry
Our shoes are made from CF+ (Cruelty Free High Performance material), a high-quality European material that is water-resistant on the outside and absorbs and reduces moisture on the inside. CF+ is extremely durable and scratch-resistant, ensuring that your shoes won't get scuffed up easily. The material is also 100% vegan.
CF UltraDry lining: Dry feet even in the hot summer
The lining of our shoes, called Cruelty Free UltraDry, is made of corn polymer, a natural and easily recyclable material. This lining looks like leather but offers better breathability and moisture-wicking properties. It absorbs up to 8 times its weight in water, keeping your feet dry. The lining is also antibacterial, silky smooth to the touch, and eco-friendly.
Lifo+: Extra flexible sole that lasts for years
Our shoes feature the German Lifo+ outsole, which is lightweight, flexible, and provides excellent traction even on wet surfaces. The outsole is thin and lightweight, maximizing flexibility, and is resistant to wear and tear. This extra-durable sole won't scuff easily.
As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms
A study carried out at Masaryk University confirms that walking in Ahinsa shoes is as healthy and natural as walking barefoot. Regular shoes restrict your feet and inhibit their natural sensory contact with the ground. Switching to Ahinsa shoes will enhance your foot's engagement and contribute to your overall health.

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 when they are dry, brushing them carefully as needed when dry, or by wiping them carefully with a damp cloth. Not machine washable.
Post-treatment
We recommend periodic follow-up waterproofing treatments with a suitable product.
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.
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.
CHICAQO Red is a unique barefoot shoe with an antique red finish. Made of high-quality nappa and suede leather, this mid-cut sneaker features a robust black suede toe cap to protect sensitive areas. The combination of red tones and a light sole gives the CHICAQO a dynamic look.
This barefoot shoe allows for free and easy movement with its flexible ZAQQ SNEAKER Sole and wide toe box. The CHICAQO adds a pop of color to your outfit without being overwhelming. It is perfect for strolling in the city, going for a park round, or walking in the woods due to its high level of comfort.
The ZAQQ CHICAQO Red is made from premium materials, including chrome-tanned and extra smooth leather, supple and breathable lining, open-pored, breathable leather insole, patented shock-absorbent Poron cushioning, and an ultra-flexible, non-slip, abrasion-proof rubber sole. The shoe is Strobel-stitched with double seams, and the sole is hand-stitched to the upper using a solvent-free adhesive bonding method.
The CHICAQO Red promotes natural posture, protects joints, and relieves spinal pressure with its rubber sole without a heel. It offers an optimum fit with different last shapes and designs for both men's and women's shoes. The spacious front allows plenty of room for toes and the ball of the foot. It encourages natural movement while running and maintains a balanced foot climate with breathable and sweat-reducing natural materials. The supple leather helps prevent blisters and sore feet. Additionally, the shoe is incredibly lightweight at approximately 300 g (10.6oz) in size 41.
ZAQQ focuses on sustainable production, with every barefoot shoe being crafted in Berlin. Each shoe is unique and solvent-free. Customized production occurs within three days of receiving an order, and hand-stitching is done in their own factory south of Berlin.

As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms
Your stride is healthy and natural in Ahinsa shoes, studies carried out at Masaryk University confirm. According to the research, Ahinsa shoes allow your foot to engage just like when you walk barefoot. By contrast, ordinary shoes restrict your feet and block their natural sensory contact with the ground. Do something for your health, today.

Product information
Crafted according to tradition
The upper is made of traditionally crafted Portuguese burel fabric (felted wool loden) from our partner Ecola. The wool comes from Portuguese heritage sheep breeds.
Chic look
The special way the wool is processed lends Chokeberry its smooth, finely textured surface in a subtle petrol gray that is perfect for combining with all kinds of colors – Chokeberry is a reliable companion all winter long.
Wooly warmth
Wool on the outside and on the inside not only keeps all feet toasty warm when the weather gets frosty – its temperature-regulating properties also mean that this mid cut won’t let them get sweaty.
Material
Upper:
Felted wool loden (100% virgin wool) – petrol gray
Membrane:
100% polyester
Lining / mid-sole:
Felted wool loden (100% virgin wool)
Edging:
Microfiber (100% polyamide) – gray-blue
Outsole:
60% synthetic rubber containing approx. 33% recycled material, 25% silica, 15% recycled cork – dark blue
Fit
True to size as measured with the
Fitkit
. Runs a little wider and provides ample room at the forefoot. For narrow feet, we recommend an insole.
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 when they are dry, brushing them carefully as needed when dry, or by wiping them carefully with a damp cloth. Not machine washable.
Post-treatment
We recommend periodic follow-up waterproofing treatments with a suitable product.

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.
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.
