The El Naturalista Tribu Boot is for those looking for a cozy fall and winter pull-on boot, that doesn't sacrifice style or barefoot movement while keeping you warm. It pulls on, and zips up. No laces, no buckles, making it the boot for rushed mornings and for days spent going in and out of the house. The polyurethane sole measures 13mm, and carries a toothed tread across the whole footprint, made for grip on wet pavement. It is joined to the upper with 360º Stitched-Binded construction: stitching and binding running the full perimeter of the shoe, an assembly that is flexible and stands up to constant wear. Inside, lining and a 2 mm insole in natural lamb's wool insulates, absorbs foot moisture, and releases it again, so the interior stays dry and warm without a thick footbed. The upper is silk suede, with a stitched moccasin-style front panel that gives the instep its clean line. The lining wool folds out at the collar and finishes the boot.

Care
The upper is suede calf leather, and El Naturalista lists these steps for maintaining your boots!
1. Use a dry brush/cloth. Remove loose dirt from the sole and upper with a soft-bristled shoe brush/cloth.
2. Then use a damp cloth to clean all parts of the shoe.
3. Air dry your shoes, away from heat and direct sunlight.
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).
5. Keep enjoying your shoes as if they were new.
Best uses
Perfect for when the weather starts cooling down and you want to wear something cozy that's convenient and beautifully made. The perfect boot for fall, and milder days or indoor use in winter. They can stand up to a light rain (suede is lot hardier than most people realize!), or spray them with a waterproofing treatment designed for suede to make them even more versatile.
