An artisan-designed ankle boot from El Naturalista, the n926 proclaims it's natural affiliations with wanton abandon.
The multi-tiered, overlapping fan design that arches up the leg of the El Naturalista boot is made from smooth, pull-grain leather, and radiates through an rich colour palette from bright lila purple over to toes, to the deep, rioja purple of the heel and the astounding tibet red around the ankle. This makes for a striking visual appearance that proudly accompanies the n926's environmentally-friendly credentials. On the instep of the El Naturalista boots is a full length zip that allows for easy fitting.
The anatomical vamp and insole of the n926 follow the contours of the foot, allowing the weight and force of every step to be distributed evenly across the foot for greater comfort. The insole is breathable and contains active carbon for an antibacterial finish, while underneath, the 100% natural rubber sole is superb at cushioning all of the usual bumps, while degrading much more rapidly after your finished with the El Naturalista boots than its synthetic rivals.
