A artisan designed shoe that proclaims it's natural affiliations with abandon.
The multi tiered leaf design is both striking in its visual appearance and its environmentally friendly construction. The anatomical vamp replicates the physical contours of the foot and the treatment with natural oils and ground tree bark produces a comfortable, soft leather that is protected against the weather.
The insole is breathable and contains Active carbon for an antibacterial finish that provides greater absorption of sweat away from the foot. Underneath, the 100% natural rubber sole is superb at cushioning all of the usual bumps and degrades much more rapidly after your finished with the shoes than its synthetic rivals.
El Naturalista understand that we all have to do something for our world; look after it, cherish it and protect it. It doesn't always have to be something grand but for their part El Naturalista go to great effort to make their shoes as environmentally friendly as possible.
Formed in 2001, they look at the world in awe and with a sense of excitement. This is the basis for their philosophy, which bleeds into everything they produce.
Over the years, El Naturalista has grown and has continually worked on finding even better and more eco-friendly ways to produce their ever-increasing yield.
