One of the most versatile, warmest and durable @wildling.shoes are their wool models, which have an entire upper made of wool.

The North Wolf, which is currently part of the Wildling sale, was given to my daughter to test. I like to choose wool models, like North Wolf is, for me and my kids because they are:

🦊 high enough to be worn in the snow
🦊 warm - the warmest Wildling model, which is suitable for wearing most of the time in winters in our area (temperatures around zero most of the winter)
🦊 the wool is naturally water-repellent and the boots also have a waterproof membrane built in - I only recommend impregnating the microfibre edges for the best protection
🦊 easy to clean and maintain - just dry the mud and then brush the shoes. Also, the darker colour of the microfibre won't look dirty fast
🦊 suitable for active children as well - easy to put on and clean

North Wolf are suitable for medium wide feet. I would definitely recommend buying a winter insole, without which I can't imagine wearing Wildling Shoes in winter. The insole needs minimal trimming on the children's North Wolf model (less on the bigger sizes).

Their wool insoles are available in two versions:
🐑 Wooly - new insole this year made from loden (100% pure new wool) - right insole on 3rd photo
🐑 Felfy - made from wool felt - left insole on 3rd photo
The underside of their winter insoles is always coated with natural latex to prevent slippage

@wildling.shoes has no discount codes. Sales are rare and usually happen at the end of the season. North Wolf is currently part of the winter sale, which lasts only until this Thursday.

If you need any extra tip about sizing and fit, check the review on my blog for all the details.

Over the Christmas holidays, I received another brand to test for the first time. @anglesfashion is a Czech brand of handmade barefoot shoes. The shoes are made to order and there is a 5 week wait for models that are out of stock. The build quality and leather is excellent. The model pictured is their chelsea boot named Helios in brown colour. The model is available in a winter lined version, or a classic, unlined version. The winter model is warm enough for temperatures just below zero. I wear a size 42 with my foot length of 26,3 cm. The lined models are slightly shorter than the unlined ones, and from size 41 onwards they come in 2 different widths. The internal width of size 42 is 10 cm according to the chart, but there is a little more room in the shoe than that. Around the ankles, the Helios model is narrower and holds my narrower ankles extremely well, so they are not suitable for wide ankles and high-volume feet. The sole is thin but compact and a little less responsive to the ground. First impressions are great, the shoes are good quality, comfortable and roomy with all the barefoot characteristics. @anglesfashion also has many other models available that are suitable for all year round. #anglesfashion #barefootshoes #minimalistshoes #zerodropshoes #functionalfootwear #naturalfootwear #strongfeet #healtyfeet #freeyourfeet #livebarefoot #widetoebox #barfussschuhe #bosenogice

You can wear combat boots with virtually all styles of jeans, trousers, leggings, oversized tees and shirts, etc. No wonder why they are so popular.

Combat boots often have a thick sole that does not allow much movement of the foot. But not all of them!
The list of barefoot combat boots is getting longer and longer and here are some of my favourite options that will allow your feet to be 🦶

@wildling.shoes Panther
@ahinsashoes Jaya
@peerko_barefoot Go
@mukishoes Igneous
@belenka_barefoot Winter 2.0
@vivobarefoot Gobi HI

All are black barefoot boots with laces, but they differ in material, softness, weight, etc. and here are the main differences between them:

⭐ vegan: Widling, Ahinsa

⭐ leather: Peerko, Muki, Be Lenka, VIVO

⭐ wool lined: Be Lenka, Muki, (also Peerko and Wildling, but they have different model with wool)

⭐ the best grip: Be Lenka

⭐ side zipper: Muki, Peerko

⭐ the widest: Be Lenka, Ahinsa

⭐ the narrowest: VIVO, Muki, Wildling

⭐ the warmest: Be Lenka

⭐ the best ground feel: Wildling, Muki, Ahinsa

⭐ the softest: Ahinsa, Wildling, Muki

⭐ weight (from lightest to heaviest): Ahinsa, Wildling, Peerko, Muki, VIVO, Be Lenka

Are you a fan of combat boots or do you prefer to wear slip-on boots in winter?

The Jaya model is one of the most popular @ahinsashoes models and first impressions after opening the box were absolutely great, as such lightness is a rarity in a model like this.

The boots were gifted to me for review and I was really looking forward to testing it.

Jaya are suitable for wider feet and are incredibly light and soft. The sole is thin and suitable for urban environments. I recommend buying a winter insole for the winter as they are not made for cold winter conditions.

Full review is now available on my blog. Link in my bio.

You can buy Ahinsa Shoes with 15% discount with my affiliate code A15_BOSENOGICE.

I proudly present you our Slovenian brand @proalpbarefoot As some of you may remember, I visited the production of our Slovenian barefoot brand Proalp in August. Proalp has a long tradition in shoe manufacturing and what I like so much about Proalp and their barefoot line is: ⭐ The exceptional quality of materials and workmanship ⭐ Half sizes to make it even easier to adjust the inside length of the shoes to your needs (I wear a size 41 ½, which is perfect for me if I wear the shoes without a winter insole) ⭐ 2 different widths (I wear the narrower, 'women's' size, which is best suited for medium wide and medium-wide feet) ⭐ The possibility of customising the shoes - widening at the hallux valgus so that the shoe does not press on the bone, adjustments of the toebox shape, choosing your own leather colour, choosing a wool lining instead of leather, etc. The shoes you see in the picture are their Contact S2 series hiking boots, which can be used for easier hiking trails as well as in the mountains if you have healthy and strong feet of course (they have already been tested by experienced mountain guides). My pair has a redesigned toebox shape with a completely straight line for the big toe and a milder slope towards the pinky toes. They can make this design for you too, because they have already developed different barefoot lasts. The shoes have sole with deep lugs for good grip on rocks, and an additional velcro strap is placed around the ankle for better ankle fixation. It's really important in a hiking shoe that the foot doesn't slide forward when walking downhill. This was the first thing I tried and it is 👌 The shoes are made of suede leather and also lined with leather. They also have a wool insole in case you want to wear them in colder weather conditions. In the spring, I will be most happy to test them in our Alps and I will write more about them then. If you have any questions about @proalpbarefoot shoes, you can ask me here 🙂 #proalp #barefootshoes #minimalistshoes #zerodropshoes #functionalfootwear #naturalfootwear #strongfeet #healtyfeet #freeyourfeet #livebarefoot #widetoebox #barfussschuhe #bosenogice

Side-to-side: @peerko_barefoot Frost vs. @belenka_barefoot Winter 2.0

On cold winter days, boots from @belenka_barefoot and @peerko_barefoot are the shoes I often reach for. I love both brands, so for me it's very difficult to choose which one I prefer, because I love wearing them both as they both fit me well, but there are some differences between them that I want to share with you.

❄️ Materials: both models are made of quality leather and come in different colours, but the Be Lenka leather is slightly thicker. Both are lined with wool, but the wool is thicker in the Be lenka, so the shoes feel warmer than the Peerko.

❄️ Sole: The Peerko sole is thinner and softer and gives a better ground feel. The shoe is best suited for urban environments as it has shallow lugs. The Be Lenka sole is thicker and has deep lugs and good traction on different surfaces.

❄️ Sizing: with Peerko I wear size 42 (size corresponds to the values in the tables), while the Be lenka, due to the thicker lining, runs shorter and I need size 43 (my foot length is 26.3 cm).

❄️ Width: the Be Lenka are suitable for wide feet, but the lining makes them feel less roomy than the other Be Lenka models. Peerko are best suited for medium to wide feet and are narrower than Be lenka. The lining takes up some space, but not as much as in the Be Lenka.

❄️ Fit: Both models allow good fixation to different ankle widths, but those with very narrow ankles may have a problem with fixation in the Peerko model. Both models can have a snug fit in the midfoot for those with high instep.

When choosing a model for yourself, pay particular attention to the width you need, how warm you want the shoe to be and how deep you need the lugs on the sole.
Of course, both brands also have models with thinner lining that have a side zipper for easy on-off.

And which model is your top choice?

I wish you and your family a merry and peaceful Christmas. I hope you will spend a wonderful time together ❤️

I will disconnect from social media for a few days. Today I posted on my blog a review for the @mukishoes Igneous boots which were sent to me for review. If anyone would like to buy them, they can do so today, or then after the new year. Mukishoes is closing its website for a few days.

Thank you for being here❤️

Meet @ayllaview and their new winter model named Tiksi. Aylla is a newly established Czech brand that I first noticed at the beginning of spring. This winter I have the opportunity to test their new winter model called Tiksi. Tiksi is one of the few barefoot winter boots that is lined with real sheepskin, so despite the lower model, the boots are very warm and comfortable on the feet. The shoes are available in sizes 35 to 47 in different colours. In this winter model, I wear a size 43 because the shoes are shorter due to the thicker lining. The sole is thin and the lower tread makes them suitable for urban environments. The ground feel is good and the sheepskin adds some padding. The shoes are best suited for medium-wide and wide feet. The toebox shape is best suited to feet with the longest big toe with a stronger slope towards the little toe. The shape is a mix of the VIVO and Be Lenka Original shapes. The shoes are wider than VIVO and less bean-shaped than Be Lenka. For my foot shape this shape is a 100% match, but due to the sufficient amount of space in front of my toes I have absolutely no problems with lack of space in the shoe. They are suitable for feet with less volume - lower to normal height of the instep. You can buy the shoes on their official website or from various retailers (in Slovenia at @visinska_baza). The price of the Tiksi model is 143,92 eur. First impressions are good, the shoes look well made, I also like the sheepskin lining which is otherwise quite rare in winter barefoot shoes. More about them after testing ☺ #aylla #barefootshoes #minimalistshoes #zerodropshoes #functionalfootwear #naturalfootwear #strongfeet #healtyfeet #freeyourfeet #livebarefoot #widetoebox #barfussschuhe #bosenogice

If you are thinking about how to keep your feet warm in winter then check the updated @belenka_barefoot Winter 2.0 boots. Those are officially the warmest everyday leather boots I have.

Be Lenka Winter 2.0 is made from leather and lined with thick warm wool. They feel so soft and cozy. The leather is thicker and it has a smooth, high quality look. Boots look really well made.

The sole is the same as in all new Be Lenka boots (deeper tread) which will give you a good grip on winter days. They are still a little slippery on ice, but to be honest, for a good grip on ice, you really need crampons.

I’m wearing size 43 as they feel shorter because of the thick lining and the size fits me perfectly (I’m usually wearing size 42 in other Be Lenka shoes). They don’t have too much volume for my shallow feet.

They are best suited for low and average height instep. Those with higher instep can find them snug in the midfoot, but they can be adjusted well to different ankles widths and height of the instep at the back part of the foot.

I bought shoes myself and you can buy your pair with 5% off too (use my code BOSENOGICE - non-affiliate, but I may earn a small commission if you use affiliate links on my website).
