Remember „es hät so langs hätt“
Rediscover natural movement with El Naturalista—where artisan heritage meets eco-conscious innovation.
A Legacy Rooted in La Rioja
Founded in 2001 by Francisco Sota in the shoemaking town of Quel, Spain, El Naturalista was born from a centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship. The brand’s philosophy—“Shoes inspired by nature for committed people”—guides every step of its journey toward sustainability and social impact.
Ethical Craftsmanship
El Naturalista barefoot shoes are handcrafted in Spain and Morocco using vegetable-tanned leather, recycled rubber, cork, and natural ergonomic materials. Their production emphasizes manual techniques, local sourcing, and minimal environmental impact—ensuring transparency, quality, and reduced emissions.
Barefoot Innovation
El Naturalista introduced its barefoot line in the mid-2010s, blending minimalist design with anatomical comfort. These shoes feature:
- Wide toe boxes for natural toe splay
- Flexible soles that mimic barefoot walking
- Ergonomic shaping to support a healthy gait
- Vegan-friendly options, launched in 2015, made from bamboo and polyester with no animal products
Each pair reflects the brand’s commitment to human rights, sustainability, and leaving the world better than they found it.
