The El Naturalista N5262A Alpine Grass Black Nomada is a new Chelsea boot in the Nomada range. This Alpine Grass model is made from slightly sturdier leather than the Arizona version. Nevertheless, it remains very supple and, although you might not think so at first glance, this is also a genuine barefoot boot for those who want to move freely without compromising on style. The shoe has a false heel, so it is indeed 100% zero-drop. The outsole, although 1.2 cm thick, is surprisingly supple and lightweight.
Features:
- Upper: Alpine Grass leather
- Lining: 80% chrome-free leather + 20 % microfibre
- Insole: 6 mm microfibre (to enhance the barefoot feel, we recommend replacing the insole with a thinner cork or leather insole from OmaKing)
- Outsole: 12 mm natural rubber
- Stitched sole
Sizing:
We regularly get asked what size barefoot shoes you should choose. Unfortunately, the answer is not that simple. Every brand has its own size chart and even within different models of the same brand, there are often differences. Therefore, it is important to measure the length of your feet. A minimalist shoe is at least 8, but preferably 12mm longer than your foot length.
Unfortunately, wrong/old size charts also circulate on the internet. Therefore, we measure the length of the insole ourselves and include it in the size chart. This way, you can determine your ideal size.
