The Wildling Marti khaki in children sizing is densely woven cotton working with a dedicated waterproof construction, and a pure cotton lining inside rather than a synthetic one. Built for the transitional season, when the forecast is unreliable. Like every Wildling it keeps the three principles of barefoot footwear: a wide toe box that lets toes splay, a zero-drop sole, and a construction flexible enough to move with the foot rather than against it.
Against the Vivobarefoot Tracker and the Xero Shoes Xcursion, Marti has less outsole tread but a cotton lining most technical shoes replace with synthetics. It is the everyday wet-weather choice rather than the trail one. Browse the full Wildling barefoot shoe range or the wider barefoot shoes for kids selection to compare side by side.
Fits true to size with the wide toe box consistent across the Wildling children's range. Low volume, which suits slimmer feet. Available EU 23–35. EU price: €99.
What we like: waterproof construction without a bulky sole; pure cotton lining rather than synthetic; versatile across seasons. Worth considering: less tread than a dedicated trail shoe; cotton lining takes longer to dry once soaked; khaki shows salt marks in winter.
Q: Is the Marti khaki suitable for someone new to barefoot shoes?
A: Yes, with a gradual approach. Start with shorter sessions and build up over two to four weeks. The wide toe box is usually comfortable immediately; the thinner sole takes longer to adjust to.
Q: How waterproof is it really?
A: Good for rain and wet pavement. It is not a rubber boot and will not survive standing water for long.
