As a transition shoe:

Good for most

Due to the medium groundfeel and flexibility, these shoes are great for most people to transition with. While it’s still important to pay attention to your body’s limits, these shoes may require less changes to your routine if you’re new to barefoot.

To maintain the calf leather and natural rubber materials of your sandals, El Naturalista suggests following these steps:

1. Remove loose dirt from the sole and upper with a dry, soft-bristled shoe brush/cloth.
2. Then use a damp cloth to clean all parts of the shoe.
3. Air dry your shoes.
4. Moisturize your shoe with specific products for footwear (do not forget to check the product specifications according to the type of leather/fabric of your shoe).

The Horizon sandal is the perfect intersection of style and function, offering excellent barefoot friendly support suitable for many a summer occasion. Backyards, parks, light trails, or exploring the city, whatever you’re up to, the horizon is always there to meet you.
