The El Naturalista Philosophy
El Naturalista believes that shoes should allow your feet to move and not restrict them.

Each pair is made with respect for people and the environment, where sustainability is not a marketing term but a core value.

El Naturalista Nomada Range:
The Nomada collection from El Naturalista offers a slightly thicker sole than their classic barefoot models, perfect for those looking for more cushioning without abandoning barefoot principles. This range combines the best of both worlds:
- More cushioning – Thicker sole (12mm) for extra comfort during longer walks and daily use
- Still flexible – Maintains the natural freedom of movement of the foot
- Roomy fit – The same generous toe box as all El Naturalista models
- Ideal for transition – Perfect if you're transitioning from traditional shoes to barefoot
- Ideal for fashion - These shoes look like they have a heel, but they are indeed zero-drop
The Nomada range is an excellent choice for those who want to experience the benefits of barefoot shoes with the looks of a classic boot.
