Design Impact: The materials and construction gove you a little bit more cushioning and structure than you might expect for a thin sole, but they will break in over time.

As a transition shoe: 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. Additionally, as you transition the shoes will be breaking in, giving you more flexibility as you get stronger and less reliant on external support.

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 shoe.
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.

El Naturalista’s Origen leather dress shoes can be elevated as chic European business wear, or paired with jeans for a date night look that still evokes elegant simplicity.

They go to the office, the patio, barbecues and birthday parties, where you’ll feel and look effortlessly cool due to their timeless design and materials that take you from spring through fall. In winter, we recommend wearing these indoors only. Leave them at the office and their convenient elastic laces will help you change out of snowboots in a snap.

They’re a great pick for those new to barefoot shoes, or thinking of adding minimal footwear into your day outside of athletic time.
