Frog shock system

The El Naturalista exclusive anti-shock system offers optimum comfort in every possible situation. This is a special cushioned insole that absorbs the impact on the heel. This extra protection allows you to walk comfortably for an entire day

Pull grain leather

This leather is treated with river stones to naturally temper the hide, a process that allows El Naturalista to obtain a highly luxuriant and resistant leather that at the same time is extremely soft to the touch and flexible for walking. If you examine the leather closely, you can appreciate its grain or irregular texture - proof that it has been treated completely naturally. These shoes are comfortable, lightweight and versatile, making them ideal for embarking on any kind of journey

Hand stitched

El Naturalista brings together the latest technologies with shoemaking traditions by using a special hand-stitching technique to produce some of its models. This technique, inspired by traditional shoemaking methods, makes it possible to use a thicker thread, which results in a sturdy shoe with an unmistakable artisan's finish.

Anatomic insoles

El Naturalista anatomically-designed insoles are made from recycled cork. Their shape is simple yet extremely important: they fit the contours of the foot like a glove. The distribution of weight over the sole of the foot while walking is thus optimal, with the insoles absorbing impacts and preventing damage to sensitive areas.

Leaves leather

Leaves leather is tanned and manufactured in Spain. The tanning process is semi vegetal. The vegetable components in this process bring out the characteristics of the leather's organic material providing transparency, colour intensity, and brightness.

Breathable insoles

The latest technology in breathable materials - El Naturalista insoles utilize a recycled carbon compound that optimises the relationship between shock-absorption and breathability. The result is a level of performance that is superior to that of other materials. Some models also incorporate an anti-bacterial finish to provide optimum foot hygiene.

90% Vegetable tanned leather stream

Stream leather is tanned using vegetable extracts and ground tree bark. In order to fully take in its qualities, it has been churned non-stop for several weeks inside a special cylinder. It is greased in a slow and delicate process, by expert hands in an enterely artisan fashion, using natural animal fat and olive and sunflower oils. Once it is dry, the outer coat of the leather is minutely impregnated with olive oil. This operation provides El Naturalista shoes with an exclusive finish that naturally protects them from water, dirt, and the passage of time. When the weather is cold, you will find your shoes to be covered by fine white film: this is our best guarantee of quality. Proof that they are prepared for life.

Product Range: N480 Shoes Rioja - Review by MARIA G 12/02/2009

These are such comfortable shoes with a very quirky sole. they manage to look stylish as well as relaxed in one go. In some light they look brown. the velcro fasten is really convenient. i wear them with socks or pantihose, skirts or trousers/jeans. very versatile and original. I next buy El Naturalista sandals.
