Wildpool is a waterproof shoe made for real life, not just the trail. It dries fast with precision drainage that sheds water without letting in grit, and the odour-resistant EVA keeps things fresh. An orthopedic-informed, cushioned footbed helps absorb impact and reduce strain on ankles, knees, and hips for all-day comfort. Slip-on entry with elastic looped lacing makes it easy to get moving, even with cold hands. When you finally wear them out, return them to be recycled and remolded in a fully circular system. From wild swims to muddy paths to city errands, this is performance disguised as everyday cool. Back Wildpool on Kickstarter.
Sami Robertson didn’t mean to start a shoe company. He just wanted something to wear after freezing swims that didn’t look like hospital clogs. Now he’s swum the Straits of Gibraltar, competed in the GB Ice Swimming Champs, and designed a shoe good enough for both Arctic dips and muddy boot rooms. He’s not into fuss. He’s into function. Wildpool is what happens when you design for real people who don’t cancel swims just because it’s hailing.

What is Kickstarter?
