And some shoes turn out to be so comfortable that you immediately want to take them home in another color. This is exactly that kind of pair. This unisex chelsea boot from El Naturalista has that rugged, calm look that you can combine endlessly, but also the comfort that always makes me very happy myself. It is not a stiff, hard boot that you have to \"break in\" first, but a shoe that feels supple and truly moves with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot is made of chrome-free tanned calf leather and has a fine, slightly wider fit. This makes it feel comfortable on the foot without looking clunky. That is exactly what I think is so strong about it. It has that casual, robust appearance of a good chelsea boot, but in a version that feels softer, kinder and more natural than many comparable models. Available in five beautiful colors: terra, blush, mustard, stone and denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis El Naturalista chelsea boot is made of chrome-free tanned leather, features an elasticated entry, handy pull loops and a flexible rubber sole. The model is unisex and available in sizes 37 to 44. The look is rugged and timeless, while the wearing comfort feels remarkably soft and free. This is the kind of shoe you wear with jeans, but just as easily combine with a dress or slightly dressier trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you really want these boots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I often hear from customers is that they like the idea of barefoot or semi-barefoot shoes, but are absolutely not waiting for a model that immediately looks \"healthy.\" I totally get that. Not everyone wants a shoe that primarily looks practical. This boot is so great precisely because it looks like a normal, beautiful chelsea boot, while still offering much more freedom of movement and comfort than many traditional boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat wider footbed really makes a difference. Your toes get more room and that just walks more pleasantly. The sole is flexible, the heel is flat and the shoe feels light. Not as if you are walking on a thick, stiff brick, but rather as if your feet are allowed to do what they want. That is also exactly why some people are so enthusiastic about this. One customer even wrote that these were the best shoes she had ever bought because they fit perfectly, were extremely comfortable, and finally looked like a normal shoe instead of a typical barefoot shoe. Honestly? I understand that very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese boots fit comfortably and are very pleasant for feet that like a bit of space due to the wider footbed. Thanks to the elastic sides and the sturdy loops, you can put them on and take them off easily. No zippers, no laces, no hassle. Just step in and you're ready to go. That also makes this the kind of shoe you quickly reach for on busy mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit feels free, but the shoe still looks nicely snug around the ankle. This keeps the look rugged and slim enough. Semi-barefoot, then: more room and more natural walking comfort, but without it feeling extreme. That is precisely why this is a very accessible model for many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear them?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear them under straight jeans with rolled-up cuffs for a casual, rugged look. Or combine them with a dress or skirt, so that the leather and the sturdy sole provide a nice contrast with something soft or flowy. Also very nice: under woolen trousers or slightly dressier slacks with a chunky sweater on top. These are the kind of shoes that are calm enough to match anything, yet add character to your outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and additional information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer material is calf leather and that leather is chrome-free tanned. That's a nice thought, as no chromium salts are used, unlike in much conventionally tanned leather. The lining consists of 80% leather and 20% microfiber. The insole is removable and made of microfiber. The outsole is 100% rubber and provides good grip. The closure is elastic and the production process features 360º stitching, which contributes to the sturdiness and durability of the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does this pair do for the world? By choosing chrome-free tanned leather and a well-made model, you are opting for shoes that are produced more kindly and are made to last. And in the end, that is always the most sustainable choice: buying something that you will truly keep wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather stays looking best when you treat it with a little attention. Brush off dirt when dry and occasionally use a natural leather wax or nourishing cream to keep the leather supple. Especially with a shoe you wear often, this helps enormously to keep the material looking beautiful. Let wet shoes dry slowly at room temperature and preferably do not place them against a heater. That keeps the leather looking better for longer and prevents it from drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want extra warmth and comfort? Then combine these boots with a good pair of wool socks from, for example, Hirsch Natur. Truly a golden combination for cold days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDo not buy if…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e…you are looking for a very narrow, tight-fitting boot without extra room at the toes. This boot is specifically intended for more comfortable and natural walking. If you like more freedom of movement and a more flexible sole, then you are in the right place here. If you are specifically looking for a very hard, classic chelsea boot with a narrow fashion fit, then this is probably less your model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePersonal advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you in doubt about the size, or do you want to know if this model is good for your feet?

This is the kind of shoe you can wear with jeans, but just as easily combine with a dress or a dressier pair of trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you’ll want these boots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat I often hear from customers is that they like the idea of barefoot or semi-barefoot shoes, but have absolutely no interest in a model that immediately looks “health-focused.” I totally get that. Not everyone wants a shoe that looks primarily practical. These boots are so great because they look like a normal, beautiful Chelsea boot, while still providing much more freedom of movement and comfort than many traditional boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat wider footbed really makes a difference. Your toes have more room, which simply makes walking more pleasant. The sole is flexible, the heel is flat, and the shoe feels light. Not like you’re walking on thick, rigid bricks, but rather like your feet are allowed to do what they want. That is exactly why some people are so enthusiastic about them. One customer even wrote that these were the best shoes she had ever bought because they fit perfectly, were incredibly comfortable, and finally looked like a normal shoe instead of a typical barefoot shoe. Honestly? I get that completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese boots have a comfortable fit and, thanks to the wider footbed, are very pleasant for feet that like a bit of space. The elastic sides and sturdy pull tabs make them easy to put on and take off. No zippers, no laces, no fuss. Just slip them on and you’re ready to go. That’s what makes these the kind of shoes you’ll grab on busy mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit feels unrestricted, yet the shoe still looks nicely tapered around the ankle, keeping the look rugged and slim. Semi-barefoot, then: more space and more natural walking comfort, but without feeling too extreme. That is precisely why this is such an accessible model for many people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear them with straight-leg jeans with rolled-up cuffs for a casual, rugged look. Or, style them with a dress or skirt so the leather and sturdy sole provide a nice contrast to something soft or flowy. They also look great with wool trousers or slightly dressier pants paired with a chunky sweater. These are the kind of shoes that are understated enough to go with everything, yet add real character to your outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and additional information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer material is calf leather, which is chrome-free tanned. That’s a nice thought, as no chromium salts are used, unlike with much conventionally tanned leather. The lining consists of 80% leather and 20% microfiber. The insole is removable and made of microfiber. The outsole is 100% rubber and provides great grip. The closure is elastic, and the production process features 360º stitching, which contributes to the sturdiness and durability of the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does this pair do for the world? By choosing chrome-free tanned leather and a well-made model, you’re opting for shoes that are produced more kindly and built to last. And ultimately, that is always the most sustainable choice: buying something that you’ll actually keep wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather looks best when you treat it with a little care. Brush off dirt when dry and occasionally use a natural leather wax or conditioning cream to keep the leather supple. Especially with a shoe you wear often, this helps tremendously in keeping the material looking good. Let wet shoes dry naturally at room temperature, and avoid placing them near a heater. This keeps the leather looking good for longer and prevents it from drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for extra warmth and comfort? Pair these boots with a good pair of wool socks, such as those from Hirsch Natur. A truly golden combination for cold days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDo not buy if…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e…you are looking for a very narrow, tight-fitting boot without extra room at the toes. These boots are specifically intended for more comfortable and natural walking. If you like more freedom of movement and a more flexible sole, these are perfect for you. If, however, you are looking for a very hard, classic Chelsea boot with a slim fashion fit, this is probably not the model for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePersonal advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about the size, or want to know if this model is right for your feet?

Checking to ensure no leather, lining, or sock is caught will save you from a broken zipper later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKhaki: green that combines surprisingly easily\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKHAKI is a deep green tone that can lean more toward olive or forest green depending on the light. The dark sole makes the color extra tough and ensures the boot doesn't look too neat or fussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd no, you don't suddenly have to buy a completely green wardrobe. YORK KHAKI actually combines very easily with colors that are probably already in your closet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eblue and black denim;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ecamel, beige, and sand;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003edark brown and cognac;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eburgundy and rust tones;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003enavy blue and anthracite;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003edresses and skirts with a floral print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder jeans, YORK is nice and tough. Under a dress or skirt, the sturdy sole provides a nice contrast. And with shorter trousers, the color gets all the space to be seen. Because let's be honest: if you're wearing such nice green shoes, people should know about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is this ART boot a more conscious choice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo new leather shoe is completely sustainable. We aren't going to pretend it is. But The ART Company does make a number of choices that we like to highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoes are produced in Spain and the leather comes from Spain and Italy. A large part of the production chain therefore remains within Europe. ART also uses water-based glues and a semi-vegetable tanning method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is not completely chrome-free. ART indicates that it contains a low level of chromium III, which is permitted under European law. The brand has tested completely vegetable tanning, but according to ART, it turned out that much more water was required. That is why they chose a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYORK is 360° stitched and has a removable insole. The sturdy construction and replaceable sole help ensure the shoes can be used for longer. And in the end, that is where we see the biggest gain: buying a good pair, taking care of them, and then wearing them for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemovable insole\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe microfiber insole can be removed from the shoe. This is useful if you want to let it air out, clean it, or replace it over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you use your own orthotic insoles? If so, bring them with you when trying them on. Whether your insole fits well in YORK depends on the thickness and shape. A thick orthotic insole can make the shoe feel a lot tighter at the instep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to keep YORK KHAKI looking good\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeather gets better with wear, but not necessarily with years of neglect. A little attention from time to time works wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove loose dirt first with a dry, soft brush or cloth. Is there still dirt on it? Then wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth and let the shoes air dry naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen use a nourishing cream or spray suitable for this type of leather. Always test a new product on a small, less visible area first. Some care products can make the khaki green color slightly darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHave the shoes become very wet? Stuff them loosely with uncolored paper and let them dry at room temperature. Never place them against a heater and do not use a hair dryer. Leather enjoys that about as much as we enjoy a scorching hot sauna while still wearing our winter coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet the shoes air out well after a long day of wearing them and preferably do not wear them every single day in a row. This gives both the leather and the interior time to release moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrying on ART bootie YORK KHAKI in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to experience for yourself how light the sole is, see the color in person, or compare two sizes?

Easy to combine, but definitely not boring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe model looks robust, while the Softlight sole is surprisingly light and flexible.

The leather has a softer taupe-brown shade with a slightly grayish undertone. Depending on the light, YORK BROWN can therefore look a bit more brown, sand, or even very light khaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely that calm color that makes the boot particularly easy to combine. Black can sometimes be a harsh contrast and cognac calls for warm colors, but this brown doesn't clash with anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYORK BROWN looks great with, among other things:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eblue, black, or gray jeans;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ewide-leg trousers in ecru, sand, or camel;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eolive green, burgundy, and rust brown;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea long dress with a floral or animal print;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea black skirt with thick tights;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ea knitted dress in a natural wool color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause leather is a natural product, small differences in color and structure may occur. That is part of genuine leather and ensures that not every pair looks like it came straight off a copy machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA 5 cm heel that feels sturdier than it sounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYORK has a wide block heel of about 5 cm. Due to the raised sole under the forefoot, the actual height difference under your foot is smaller. As a result, the heel feels less high than the number on paper might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide shape provides more stability than a narrow heel. You get some extra height and a nice posture, but you don't have to rethink your life choices with every sidewalk tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it remains a shoe with a heel. If you are used only to flat sneakers, your feet will notice the difference. In that case, build up wear time gradually and break in new shoes by wearing them for shorter periods first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the thick sole so comfortable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Softlight sole was developed to make sturdy shoes lighter and more flexible. On the bottom, you can see several deep grooves. These ensure that the sole can flex better while walking and your foot can roll more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coarse tread gives YORK its cool appearance and offers grip during normal daily use. It is not a technical hiking boot, nor is it a fully waterproof winter shoe. And although the tread does its best, caution on ice, wet tiles, and slippery leaves is always wise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does ART YORK BROWN fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYORK is made on a standard last and generally fits true to size. Therefore, start by choosing the shoe size you normally wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe toe is rounded and offers more room than a narrow or pointed boot. Your toes should be able to move freely and should not touch the front. The leather may feel firm at first and usually becomes more supple with wear, but a painful shoe will not magically become comfortable through sheer willpower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen trying them on, check whether:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eyour toes have enough room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ethe shoe does not pinch at the instep;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ethe zipper closes easily;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eyour heel does not slide up and down excessively;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003ethe widest part of your foot fits properly into the shoe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTry the boots on with the socks or tights you will likely wear with them later. A thick wool sock naturally takes up more room than a thin cotton sock. Sounds logical, but this is exactly the kind of detail you only think about once you're home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRemovable insole and handy zipper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe microfiber insole can be removed from the shoe. This makes it easier to air out, clean, or replace after a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to use your own orthotics? Then take them with you when trying on the shoes. Whether they fit well in YORK depends on the shape and thickness. A sturdy custom insole can make the shoe tighter, especially at the heel and instep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a long zipper on the inside. This allows you to open the shoe wide so you don't have to struggle with the shaft every morning. Always open the zipper fully and check for any leather, lining, or sock getting caught if you feel resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBROWN or KHAKI: which YORK suits you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have YORK in two colors: BROWN and KHAKI. The model, fit, heel, and sole are the same. So all you have to do is the easiest part: choose a color. Although in practice, that often turns out to be the hardest part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose BROWN\u003c\/strong\u003e if you are looking for a calm, soft color that easily combines with denim, black, beige, and natural tones. The taupe-brown looks a bit more classic and is easily integrated into your existing wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose KHAKI\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want just a bit more color and character. The forest green tint is still easy to combine but stands out more clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you are still in doubt after this explanation? Then there is really only one thing to do: try on both colors in the store and see which one wants to come home with you first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is sustainable about ART YORK BROWN?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo new leather shoe is completely sustainable. However, The ART Company makes several choices that better suit long-term and conscious use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoes are produced in Spain and the leather comes from Spain and Italy. A large part of the production chain therefore remains within Europe. ART also uses water-based adhesives and a semi-vegetable tanning method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is not completely chrome-free. ART states that it contains a low level of chromium III, which is permitted under European law. The brand has researched fully vegetable tanning, but according to ART, this appeared to require significantly more water. That is why a middle-ground method is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYORK is 360° stitched and has a removable insole. These are not exciting green buzzwords for a billboard, but they are practical features of a solidly made shoe that you can maintain well and wear for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause ultimately, that remains the most important thing for us: buy shoes that fit well, take care of them, and have wear and tear assessed by a cobbler in time. The longer you wear the same nice pair, the less soon a new pair is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to keep the taupe-brown leather looking good\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, remove loose sand and dirt with a dry, soft brush or cloth. Is there still dirt on the leather afterward? Then gently wipe the shoes with a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse a care product suitable for this type of leather and always test it first on a small, less visible area. Cream, wax, and waterproofing spray can make the taupe-brown color darker. That can be beautiful, but it's better if you choose it yourself rather than it being an unexpected Sunday afternoon surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDid the shoes get wet? Fill them loosely with uncolored paper and let them dry at room temperature. Never place them against the radiator and do not use a hairdryer. Strong heat can cause leather to dry out, become hard, or crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet YORK air out well after a long day of wearing and preferably alternate them with another pair. This allows the leather and insole to release moisture, keeping the boots fresh and beautiful for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrying on ART YORK BROWN in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see BROWN and KHAKI side-by-side, feel how light the sole is, or check which size feels most comfortable?

The ART Company was inspired by the Belgian city for this model: creative, quirky, a bit rebellious and never boring. And honestly, we understand the comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot has a sturdy, distinct sole and a fairly quiet upper. This makes it look cool without turning into a shoe that enters the room three minutes before you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder trousers, AMBERES adds a bit more character than a regular Chelsea boot. Under a dress or skirt, the chunky sole creates a nice contrast. A bit neat, a bit rebellious – just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA thick sole without having to drag two bricks around\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black sole is about 5 cm high at the back and continues under the forefoot. You are therefore not standing on a traditional heel where only your heel is raised. The height difference under your foot remains limited, which makes AMBERES feel more stable and flatter than a boot with a separate 5 cm heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the sole, ART uses the lightweight Softlight material. As a result, the boot looks a lot heavier than it actually is. Very nice, because while we do like a sturdy shoe, we don't necessarily want to do a full workout with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep indentations in the sole make it flexible and support the rolling motion of your foot.

Therefore, you should simply choose the size you normally wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe toe is rounded and gives your toes more room than a narrow or pointed boot. Your foot should be firmly in the shoe, but not pinch anywhere painfully. The leather usually becomes more supple with wear and conforms somewhat to your foot.

The black sole and dark elastic panel provide a cool contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis color is ideal if you are looking for a calm alternative to black.

Then BURDEOS is probably your color. Do you love burgundy but already know you'll be wondering every morning what it goes with? Then choose NOBUCK GREY.

That is why ART opted for a middle ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAMBERES is 360° stitched and has a removable insole. The sturdy construction, replaceable sole, and good material choice are intended to allow the shoes to be worn for a long time. ART also offers repair options through the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, that is where the main sustainability story lies: buy a pair that fits well, take care of the leather, and have wear and tear assessed by a cobbler in time.

And frankly, we understand the comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot has a sturdy, distinct sole and a fairly quiet upper.

So you are not standing on a traditional heel where only your heel is raised. The height difference under your foot remains limited, making AMBERES feel more stable and flatter than a boot with a separate 5 cm heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the sole, ART uses the lightweight Softlight material.

Exactly the kind of color that makes us very happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy these semi-barefoot Chelsea boots are so great\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimalist, semi-barefoot fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eWide toe box for natural freedom of movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eZero drop: heel and forefoot are at the same height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLight and flexible rubber sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMade from chrome-free tanned calf leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e360-degree stitched Strobel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable insole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eElastic side panels and sturdy pull tabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eUnisex model for women and men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable at Natur-el in sizes 37 to 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does semi-barefoot mean for these boots?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PETROL Chelsea boot, referred to by El Naturalista as model NÓMADA N5262, is part of their minimalist shoe line. These shoes give your feet more freedom than a traditional, stiff boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe last is wide at the toes, allowing your toes to spread naturally. The sole is flexible and moves with your foot. Additionally, the shoe features \u003cstrong\u003ezero drop\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning your heel is not higher than your forefoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe call this model semi-barefoot because you get many of the key benefits of a barefoot shoe, but with the protection and look of a sturdy leather Chelsea boot. You feel more of the ground and your feet can move more actively, without having to walk on a paper-thin sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDo you need to get used to zero-drop shoes?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAre you used to wearing shoes with a significant heel or a lot of support? If so, build up your wearing time for zero-drop shoes gradually. Your feet, calves, and Achilles tendons may need time to adjust to the different posture and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStart by wearing them for a few hours a day and see how your body reacts. If you are already used to barefoot or minimalist shoes, these Chelsea boots will likely feel familiar right away, only a lot dressier and more winter-ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWide Chelsea boots with room for your toes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany Chelsea boots taper to a point. That might look elegant, but your toes often feel differently. The PETROL has a wider, foot-shaped front. Your toes get the room to lie side by side and move while walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes these boots great for people with wider feet, but also for anyone who is done with shoes that squeeze their small toe against the others all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elastic inserts on both sides make them easy to put on. The sturdy pull tabs at the front and back help you slip them on quickly. No laces, no zippers, and no morning gymnastics in the hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the El Naturalista PETROL fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Chelsea boot generally fits true to size. Therefore, start by choosing your normal shoe size. The front is intentionally wider, so extra space at your toes does not automatically mean the shoe is too big.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Natur-el, we carry this unisex model in sizes 37 to 44. If you are between two sizes or want to know if the fit is right for your foot, feel free to contact us or come by to try them on in our store in Rotterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA minimalist shoe should provide sufficient room at the toes, but it shouldn't slip annoyingly at the heel. With a good pair of wool socks, you can always make the fit feel a bit snugger during the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChrome-free tanned leather that gets better with wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior is made of sturdy Arizona calf leather. This leather is chrome-free tanned and gains more character the more you wear it. Small color variations and changes in the surface are inherent to natural materials and make every pair slightly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining is made of 80% leather and 20% microfiber. The insole is removable, which is convenient if you want to air it out, replace it, or use your own suitable insert. Please note that a different insole may change the zero-drop experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these El Naturalista boots sustainable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo new leather shoe is without environmental impact. We don't want to sugarcoat that. However, several conscious choices were made for these Chelsea boots:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eThe leather is chrome-free tanned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eThe sturdy leather exterior is designed for long-term wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eThe 360-degree stitched construction ensures flexibility and a solid connection between the upper and the sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eThe insole is removable and can be replaced if necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eGood care can significantly extend the life of the leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eThe timeless unisex design is not tied to a single short-lived fashion season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, sustainability in shoes isn't just about the material, but also about how often and how long you wear them. A comfortable boot that lasts for years and goes with most of your wardrobe is ultimately a much wiser choice than three pairs of shoes that mostly just look nice in the closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style the color PETROL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePETROL is one of those colors that is more eye-catching than black but just as easy to style. Wear these boots with wide-leg jeans, corduroy trousers, or dark slacks. They also add just the right amount of edge to a dress or skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePetrol looks beautiful paired with rust, ochre, dark blue, green, burgundy, gray, and neutral tones. Honestly, you'd have to try hard to find a color that these boots don't look good with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also carry this model in several other colors, including black, khaki, terra, mustard, and blush. Same comfortable model, but every color gives the boot a completely different look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for the leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove dirt first with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Let the shoes dry slowly at room temperature. Never place leather shoes against a heater, as this can cause the leather to dry out and harden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegularly use a nourishing cream or wax suitable for this type of leather. Keep in mind that a care product may darken the color slightly, so always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to better protect the boots against moisture and dirt? Use a suitable waterproofing spray for leather. These Chelsea boots are not completely waterproof, so for splashing through puddles for hours, we would choose something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista PETROL Chelsea boot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a true barefoot shoe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe boot features a wide toe box, zero drop, and a flexible sole, which are key barefoot characteristics. Because of the protective rubber sole and the sturdy leather design, we prefer to call it semi-barefoot or minimalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the sole completely flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the shoe has zero drop, meaning the heel is no higher than the forefoot. The total sole height at the heel is approximately 1.2 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the insole removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the insole can be removed from the shoe. Please keep in mind that a replacement insole may affect the fit and the zero-drop feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these Chelsea boots suitable for wide feet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the last is designed to be wider at the toes, allowing them to lie and move more naturally. Whether the shoe also fits your instep and heel well is best judged when trying them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the boots suitable for both women and men?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a unisex model. At Natur-el, the PETROL is available in sizes 37 to 44.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the boots waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, leather Chelsea boots are not fully waterproof. With proper care and a suitable waterproofing spray, you can make the leather more resistant to rain and dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTry on El Naturalista at Natur-el in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith minimalist shoes, getting the right fit is especially important.

The solid olive green suede gives the sneaker a soft, matte appearance. Not fussy, not boring, and not overly sporty either. Just a particularly fine shoe that you can combine very easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuede is leather whose surface has been softly roughened. This makes it feel supple and gives every shoe a lively character. Small color variations and changes during wear are part of the material. That’s actually what we love about it: a shoe is allowed to show that it lives with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort for long days\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO has a comfortable fit and runs true to size. The soft leather will mold better to your foot as you wear it. With the laces, you can easily adjust the sneaker so that it fits nicely without pinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of rubber and recycled EVA provides cushioning and makes the sole pleasant for daily use. Thanks to the 360° stitched construction, the shoe can also move flexibly with your foot. Handy while working, shopping, walking, or when you suddenly discover that you have taken many more steps than planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe footbed is removable. This allows you to use your own insoles if necessary, although it is always wise to check whether they fit well in the shoe in terms of width and thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the El Naturalista GEO a barefoot sneaker?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this is not a true barefoot or minimalist shoe. The GEO does have a comfortable and reasonably natural fit, but also a clearly cushioning sole. Are you looking for the free feeling of a great daily sneaker, but don't need to personally get to know every pebble under your feet? Then this is probably exactly what you mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is sustainable about this sneaker?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEl Naturalista uses carefully selected leather for the GEO and a sole that incorporates recycled EVA. According to the brand, this model consists of approximately 60% recycled components and the design takes recycling into account. The 360° stitched construction also contributes to a sturdy and flexible connection between the different parts of the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt remains a leather shoe, of course, and therefore not a vegan product. The production of leather and shoes also has an impact. Sustainability here lies primarily in the choice of materials, the processing of recycled parts, and a solid shoe that is intended to be worn often and for a long time. Because let's be honest: the most sustainable sneaker is still the one that doesn't stay unused in the closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to maintain the suede\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore first use, treat the sneakers with a suitable, preferably eco-friendly suede protector. Always test this on an inconspicuous area first, as a spray can make the color slightly darker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet dirt dry first and then gently brush it away with a soft suede brush. Do not use regular shoe polish or leather wax: this will flatten the soft structure of the suede. Have the shoes become wet? Let them dry slowly at room temperature, away from heat sources. You can stuff some paper into the shoes to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista GEO sneaker OLIVA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this sneaker fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO runs true to size and has a comfortable fit.

This is useful if you use your own insoles or want a little more room in the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sneaker suitable for sports?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO is a lifestyle sneaker for daily use, walking, and working. It is not a technical running or sports shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs OLIVA easy to combine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCertainly. Olive green works almost like a neutral color and combines beautifully with denim, black, sand, brown, rust, ocher, and natural tones. Actually, this sneaker is surprisingly easygoing. Some people could learn a thing or two from that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the suede waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, suede is not completely waterproof. With a suitable protector, you can make it more resistant to splashes and dirt. For prolonged rain, we would choose a different shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try them on in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see the color in real life or know which size fits best?

They look edgy with jeans, festive with a dress, and with an all-black outfit, the boots do all the work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you will fall in love with the BERNA SNAKE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eModel 1974 BERNA in the HORASAN BERNA SNAKE version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDark patent leather with shiny reptile relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth black patent leather on the back and side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNarrow burgundy contrast stripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSquare toe with a comfortable last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy block heel of approximately 9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThick platform, making the heel feel less high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight Softlight outsole with tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eZipper on the inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e360° stitched construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable microfiber insole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCalf leather upper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA color that cannot be pigeonholed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, the BERNA SNAKE looks black, but take another look. The embossed leather has a deep blue-black to anthracite-colored sheen that changes as you move. The smooth patent leather at the back is true black, and the narrow burgundy band makes the whole look just a little more exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name SNAKE refers to the reptile-like texture of the leather. So, it is not snakeskin, but calf leather with an embossed pattern and a shiny patent finish. All the looks, without a complete zoo on your feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA high heel you can actually walk on\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to The ART Company, the block heel is approximately 90 millimeters high. That sounds serious – and of course, it is – but because of the platform under the forefoot, the actual height difference is smaller. This makes the shoe feel less steep than a regular boot with a 9 cm heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the wide block heel is much more stable than a narrow stiletto. Of course, this is not a flat hiking boot you can thoughtlessly walk a marathon in, but for a heeled boot, the BERNA is remarkably comfortable and sturdy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Softlight sole keeps the overall design relatively light and has a distinct tread. Thanks to the zipper on the inside, you can put the boots on and take them off easily. No daily wrestling match in the hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BERNA SNAKE fits true to size and has a comfortable last with a square toe. As someone with wide feet, I wear a size 40 and it fits perfectly in this model. That is not official science, of course – every foot is different – but it is practical information, which is often more useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you have a high instep, a very wide foot, or are you doubting between two sizes? Feel free to call or email us. Better yet: come try them on in our store in Rotterdam. With a heeled boot, it is important that your heel stays in place and your foot does not slide forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style these patent boots?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith straight-leg or wide-leg jeans, they get an edgy, daily look. Let the trousers fall just above the shaft or tuck in a narrower pair of pants so the shiny relief remains clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder a dress or skirt, they immediately become a bit more festive. Think of black, burgundy, dark blue, purple, or even a bold dose of color. And yes, they can even be worn to the office – provided your workplace can handle a bit of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these ART boots a more sustainable choice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is made of chrome-free tanned calf leather. The 360° stitched construction ensures a strong connection between the upper and the sole. That is important, because for us, sustainability starts with shoes that are well-made, worn often, and do not end up forgotten at the back of the closet after just one season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are leather boots, so they are not vegan shoes. Leather and the production of shoes also have an impact. That is why we prefer to call a shoe a \"more sustainable choice\" rather than \"fully sustainable.\" The quality, strong construction, and bold design are intended for years of wearing pleasure – and that is a lot more honest than pretending shoes are made from gnome fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for patent leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the patent leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing. Do not use regular shoe polish, leather wax, harsh cleaning agents, or stiff brushes: these can damage the shiny finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDid the boots get wet? Let them dry slowly at room temperature and never place them against a heater. It is best to store patent leather so that the shoes do not press against each other or other colored leather for long periods. A patent coating can absorb color or stick to another surface when exposed to heat and pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDon't buy if...\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e...you are actually looking for an inconspicuous black basic boot that no one notices. This BERNA SNAKE is far too fun for that. Also, if you exclusively wear flat shoes and suddenly want to spend eight hours in heels tomorrow, we would recommend practicing slowly first. But if you are looking for a sturdy, eye-catching heeled boot that is dark, festive, and easy to style? Then you have found her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the ART BERNA SNAKE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow high is the heel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe block heel is approximately 9 cm high. Due to the platform under the forefoot, the height difference feels less extreme than with a shoe with a regular sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the boots close?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BERNA has a zipper on the inside. This makes them easy to put on and take off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it real snakeskin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The upper is made of calf leather with a shiny, reptile-like relief. SNAKE is the name of this specific version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the footbed removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, according to The ART Company, this model has a removable microfiber insole. Due to the heel and available space, not every custom orthotic insole is automatically suitable. Therefore, bring your own insole when you come to try them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the boots waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, they are not rain boots. The patent layer can withstand a splash, but in heavy or prolonged rain, seams, the zipper, and the top edge may let in moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the BERNA SNAKE in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou really have to see these boots in person, as the shine and color can only be half captured on a screen.

Or perhaps with a pair of rolled-up jeans and some brightly colored wool socks from HIRSCH NATUR. The color of your socks will peek through the cut-outs in the leather.

It has the femininity of an open-strap shoe, but the sturdy sole and wide shape give it a tough, edgy look. The toe is closed and nicely rounded, while the cut-outs make the shoe feel airier and more playful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black nappa leather is supple with a calm appearance. Not a shiny, formal pump, but a shoe you wear on an ordinary Wednesday and just as easily take with you to a dinner party. The round, gold-colored buckle provides just enough contrast without making the shoe feel overly chic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort+ and an anatomical shape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComfort and an anatomical fit are two key principles of El Naturalista. The Comfort+ last follows the natural shape of the foot and offers more room than a narrow, classic ballet flat. Your toes won’t have to squeeze together in an apartment that’s far too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can adjust the strap to your foot with the buckle. This isn't just aesthetic, but it also prevents your heel from slipping out of the shoe with every step—a well-known ballet flat phenomenon that absolutely no one wants to deal with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe microfiber insole is removable. This is useful if you need more room or want to try your own orthotic insoles. Not every orthotic will automatically fit into this relatively low-profile model, so do bring your insoles along when you come to try them on in our store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA sturdy sole without a high heel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARENISCA features a full rubber outsole with a low heel of about 1.5 cm. The sole is sturdier and more robust than that of a traditional thin ballet flat. As a result, the shoe feels more like a substantial daily shoe rather than a slipper that lets you feel every pebble on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this is not a barefoot or minimalist shoe. While the ARENISCA has a comfortable, anatomical shape, the sole is clearly thicker and firmer than that of true barefoot footwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear the ARENISCA BLACK?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorn with a dress or skirt, they are feminine without becoming sweet. In autumn, combine them with wool tights in black, burgundy, petrol, or ochre yellow. Prefer something a bit more eye-catching? Choose tights with a pattern—black can handle that perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith jeans, the shoe takes on a completely different look. Roll up the cuffs and wear them with colored wool socks. Because of the cut-outs, a bit of the sock will be visible. Red one day, green or bright blue the next. Sad beige? Not today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model also works incredibly well with wide-leg trousers, linen pants, or corduroy. It is exactly the kind of shoe that makes an outfit more interesting without needing a degree in styling in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes this shoe a more sustainable choice?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1998, El Naturalista has been working on shoes that combine comfort, natural inspiration, and conscious material choices. This ARENISCA is made of calfskin leather, has a leather lining, a replaceable insole, and a wear-resistant rubber outsole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper and the sole are attached using a cemented construction, meaning they are glued rather than stitched. Proper care remains important, especially around the edge of the sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis shoe naturally has an environmental impact and is not vegan due to the use of leather. For us, the more sustainable choice lies primarily in a well-made, timeless shoe that you can wear often and keep looking good with the right maintenance. A shoe that pairs with five pairs of pants, three dresses, and all your colorful socks will simply get more wear than a pair that sits in the closet waiting for special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintaining the nappa leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove dust and surface dirt with a soft cloth. Regularly treat the black nappa leather with a suitable natural leather cream so that it remains supple and does not dry out. Always test any care product on an inconspicuous spot first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen polishing, be careful not to get product on the gold-colored buckle. Have the shoes gotten wet? Let them dry at room temperature and never place them against a heater. You can stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista ARENISCA BLACK\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a ballet flat or a Mary Jane?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActually, a combination of both. It is a low-cut ballet flat with a T-strap and an adjustable buckle, giving it the recognizable look of a Mary Jane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the shoe completely open?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The toe, heel, and sides are largely closed. The openings around the instep and the smaller cut-outs provide the playful appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear socks with them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely—we encourage it! With solid-colored socks, the look stays calm, but with colored wool socks, the cut-outs become part of your outfit. Do keep in mind that a thick sock will take up a bit more space inside the shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the insole removable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the microfiber insole is removable. If you wish to use your own orthotic insoles, we recommend trying the combination on in our store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ARENISCA a barefoot shoe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The shoe features an anatomical Comfort+ last, but it does not have the thin, zero-drop sole of a true barefoot shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this ballet flat suitable for wide feet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comfort+ last provides more room than a narrow, classic ballet flat. However, every foot is different. Do you have a wide forefoot, high instep, or do you use orthotic insoles?

Far from ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this HOME NA70, the wool upper wraps nicely around the foot, and the sole extends well under the full width. You can make the slip-on looser or tighter around the instep using the adjustable buckle. This helps it stay on your foot better than a completely open mule. Slip them on, adjust the buckle, and you're done. No \"slipper gymnastics\" required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor those who prefer a slip-on over a Glerups bootie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe remain huge fans of our Glerups, of course. Those wool booties hug your feet and ankles perfectly and are fantastic for those who are always cold. But not everyone wants to wear a closed bootie at home. Some people just want to be able to step into something quickly, without bending, pulling, or wriggling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, this El Naturalista is ideal. You still get the warmth and temperature-regulating properties of wool, but in an open slip-on model. Your heel remains free, and thanks to the buckle, you can adjust the fit. It’s not a replacement for Glerups, but a very nice addition for people who prefer wearing a slipper or clog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy wool is so pleasant on your feet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool retains heat while simultaneously absorbing and releasing moisture. This keeps your feet comfortably warm without feeling clammy quickly. That makes wool very suitable for slippers: cozy in the winter, but often pleasant during cooler spring and autumn days as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool is mulesing-free. Mulesing is a painful procedure sometimes used on merino sheep to prevent flystrike. For these slippers, wool is used that has not undergone that treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin remains personal. Most people find the material comfortable, but every skin is different. Are you very sensitive to wool? Make sure to try them on with bare feet first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMinimalist and nice and roomy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a flat sole and a comfortable last that gives the foot space. It’s not for nothing that it says ‘Barefoot Minimalista’ on the footbed. Toes can lie next to each other more naturally, and the shoe has no raised heel to push your foot forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust don’t expect the paper-thin sole of an extreme barefoot shoe. This slipper has a practical outsole that protects your feet from cold tiles, small stones, and a wet garden path. It is primarily a roomy, flat, and flexible house slipper with a minimalist base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed to step outside? No problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slipper has a sturdy Softlight sole containing bits of cork. This outsole provides more protection and grip than a felt or leather slipper sole. You can safely wear them outside for a short walk around the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, they are wool slippers, not rain boots. Avoid deep puddles, prolonged rain, and soaked grass. The sole can handle outdoor use, but the wool upper is not waterproof. For a spontaneous walk in the woods, we would recommend putting on actual shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOCEAN or NATUREL?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOCEAN\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep, heathered blue-grey color.

The upper and fixed footbed are made of wool, and the Softlight sole incorporates cork flecks. The sole and upper are joined all around with a 360° stitch construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA product made from recycled materials still has an impact, of course. Raw materials, energy, transport, and production are still required. The sustainable value here lies in reusing materials, the sturdy construction, and a design that you will likely wear every single day. Because let's be honest: few shoes clock as many miles between the sofa, the kitchen, and the front door as a good slipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a comfortable, fairly roomy last. The buckle over the instep is adjustable, so you can make the slip-on fit your foot better. When choosing your size, take into account the socks you want to wear with them. Thick wool socks naturally take up more room than bare feet or a thin sock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wool footbed is not removable. If you use your own orthotic insoles, this model is likely less suitable.

Let the slippers air out regularly and gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. Small stains can be treated locally with a slightly damp cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not put these slippers in the washing machine and do not submerge them in water. The combination of wool, the metal buckle, the seams, and the outsole does not enjoy a \"swimming lesson\" as much as you do. Always let damp slippers dry slowly at room temperature, and never place them on or against a heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista HOME NA70\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these slippers made of real wool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Moreover, you can adjust the upper to your instep with the buckle, allowing the slip-on to stay on your foot better than many fully open slippers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the footbed be removed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the premium wool footbed is fixed inside the slipper and is not removable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a barefoot slipper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HOME NA70 has a flat, roomy, and minimalist shape without a raised heel.
