Soft leather, a comfortable fit, and a light sole that provides pleasant cushioning. It’s the kind of sneaker you put on in the morning and don’t give a second thought to for the rest of the day. Exactly as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of smooth leather and soft suede details gives the GEO a rugged, slightly retro look. No harsh shine or plastic feel, but natural materials that only gain more character the more you wear them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you’ll love the GEO sneaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eMade of soft calfskin with suede details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-free and vegetable-tanned leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eAccording to El Naturalista, made with 60% recycled components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight sole made of rubber and recycled EVA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eComfortable last for everyday use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003e360-degree stitched construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable insole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable around the foot with laces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eGenerally fits true to size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in various colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA leather sneaker without the stiffness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO is a lifestyle sneaker for people who walk a lot, stand, and are always on the go. The leather feels supple and continues to mold to your foot as you wear it. Thanks to the laces, you can easily adjust the shoe to your instep and foot width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sole consists of a combination of 100% rubber and recycled EVA. EVA is a lightweight and cushioning material that helps absorb shocks while walking. This makes the sneaker feel comfortable during a long workday, an afternoon of shopping, or a brisk city walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sole has a nice roll and is sturdy enough for daily use, yet remains lighter than you might expect from a leather sneaker. It’s not a sports shoe you’d accidentally run a marathon in, but it is a very fine sneaker for everything you have planned on an ordinary day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the El Naturalista GEO sneaker fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO generally fits true to size. Therefore, start by choosing your normal shoe size. The comfort last gives your foot a pleasant fit without feeling overly narrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe insole is removable. This is useful if you want to air it out, replace it, or use your own custom orthotics. Keep in mind that a custom insole sometimes takes up a bit more space. In that case, feel free to bring your orthotics to our shop so you can try on the shoes properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft leather can become slightly more supple during wear, but the length of the shoe naturally does not change. So, never buy leather shoes too small on purpose in the hope that your toes will find their way later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the GEO sneaker sustainable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo new sneaker is without environmental impact. Neither is this one. However, El Naturalista has made several conscious material and construction choices for the GEO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to El Naturalista, the shoe consists of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e60% recycled components\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the sole, recycled EVA is combined with rubber. The upper is made of calfskin, and the sneaker is designed so that the different materials are easier to process at the end of their lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is vegetable-tanned and chrome-free. This tanning method uses plant-based tannins instead of chromium salts. This doesn't mean that leather production has no impact, but it does prevent the use of chromium during the tanning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoe is stitched all around with a 360-degree construction. This gives the sneaker flexibility and ensures a sturdy connection between the upper and the sole. Combined with proper maintenance, this results in a shoe meant to be worn often and for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd let’s be honest: the most sustainable sneaker in your closet is usually the one you actually wear. There’s a good chance the GEO will become just that pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe GEO sneaker in various colors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry the El Naturalista GEO in several colors. From calm shades like mint, blue, land, and petrol to a striking multicolor version. The model remains the same, but every color gives the sneaker a completely different look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of petrol-colored leather and warm brown suede details is rugged and easy to combine. Wear it with jeans, corduroy trousers, or wide-leg pants. Even under a dress or skirt, the GEO provides a nice contrast between feminine and sporty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe calmer colors match nicely with natural materials like wool, organic cotton, and linen. The multicolor version does all the work for you; your outfit just needs to look cheerful to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the GEO sneaker suitable for sports?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GEO is made for daily use, walking, working, and living. It is not a technical running, fitness, or hiking shoe. It lacks the sport-specific support and construction for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a day in the city, a walk to work, or a long day in the shop, it is very suitable. You get the look of a leather lifestyle sneaker with a light, cushioning sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for leather and suede\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the GEO consists of different types of leather, the smooth and suede parts each deserve their own care. First, gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the smooth leather, use a suitable leather cream or wax. Brush the suede details with a special suede or crepe brush. Never just use a greasy cream on suede, as it can darken the color and destroy the soft texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA suitable waterproofing spray helps protect the sneaker better against moisture and dirt. Always test any maintenance product on a small, inconspicuous area first. Always let wet shoes dry at room temperature and never place them against a radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the El Naturalista GEO sneaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the GEO sneakers sustainable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEl Naturalista uses chrome-free, vegetable-tanned leather and a sole with recycled EVA for this model. According to the brand, the sneaker consists of approximately 60% recycled components. The solid construction and timeless design are also aimed at long-term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you remove the insole from the GEO sneaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the insole is removable. This is useful if you use your own orthotics or want to air out or replace the insole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these sneakers fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe El Naturalista GEO generally fits true to size. Therefore, start by choosing your usual shoe size. If you are in doubt or wear your own orthotics, it is best to come in and try them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs GEO a barefoot sneaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The GEO has a comfortable, cushioning sole and is not a barefoot or minimalist shoe. If you are looking for a wide toe box, zero drop, and a very flexible sole, take a look at the minimalist models from El Naturalista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the sneakers suitable for daily use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The GEO is designed as a comfortable lifestyle sneaker for daily walking, working, and strolling. It is not a technical sports or running shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is the GEO made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper consists of calfskin, with some colors featuring a combination of smooth nappa leather and suede. The removable insole is made of microfiber, and the outsole consists of rubber and recycled EVA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTry on the El Naturalista GEO in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant to compare different colors or feel how the fit and cushioning work for your feet?

The olive green shade OLIVA is the kind of color that doesn't demand attention, yet goes suspiciously well with almost your entire wardrobe. Jeans, linen, wool, black, beige, or even a bright color: this green sneaker just happily goes along with everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it feels at least as good as it looks.

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. Do you have wide feet, use your own custom insoles, or are you between sizes? Feel free to contact us or come by to try them on in Rotterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the footbed be removed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the microfiber footbed is removable. 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?
