Comfortable and Eco Friendly Shoes: El Naturalista

Papua 552 sandals brown leather sandals

El Naturalista papua sandalsI was not really looking to buy green, natural and eco friendly shoes in the first place, just happily avoiding all brands outsourcing their production to China. But while doing online shopping, I ran across some very pretty shoes by El Naturalista. I was looking to buy a nice pair of "spartiates" sandals as they call it here in France. "Spartiates" as in Spartan sandals: these are ankle-strap sandals, or gladiator sandals. I wanted specifically brown leather sandals. So these nice El Naturalista caught my eyes, but the price was a little high or so I thought. Until I read about El Naturalist policies and code of conduct. So I went ahead and bought a pair of El Naturalista Papua 552 in brown. They rock!!!

The color is exactly what I wanted: a rich dark chocolate. The leather is nice quality, the insole is soft. The sole is wood and rubber. I really like the antique style this model provides. The size runs true for this model so you can oder online without problem ( I wear size 41 euro and this is what I ordered). The only problem might be for women with wider or thicker feet: this El Naturalista model is not really wide and this might be a problem for some.

One year later, I am now the proud owner of 4 El Naturalista pair of shoes and boots!

A warning about El Naturalista shoe size conversion

El Naturalista Women's Iggdrasil Swirl ClogEl Naturalista is a Spanish shoe brand and their size are the standard European size. The main problem I am seeing while shopping online is that some websites don't do the correct size conversion from Euro to US shoe size!.

El Naturalista Women's N763 Mary-Jane Pump

I will take my shoe size as an example. It varies a little bit of course depending on the brands I buy, but usually I fit 9 1/2 US/Canada or the equivalent in European size of 41. The El Naturalista I bought were size 41 and fits well.

Now when I look at some Amazon listing for El Naturalista shoes I see very weird conversion such as this: 42 M EU / 12 B(M) US

So make sure when you buy this brand online to go with the European sizing and don't take the US/Canada size conversion for cash. And make sure you can do returns in case they don't fit!

Comfortable shoes: El Naturalista Women's Ikebana Sandal

My 3rd pair of El Naturalista

El Naturalista IkebanaThese were the first El Naturalista shoes that caught my eyes while shopping. But I was not really looking for slide sandal ( I was really doing a fixation on "spartiates"). But the Ikebana sandal were so nice looking that they prompt me to browse El Naturalista collection and finally bought my first pair (the gladiator ones).

My Ikebana Review on Amazon



It didn't take long and soon I was back to buy them. I choose the brown color (This Ikebana model is also available in black or white. See below for information about El Naturalista model numbers)

About El Naturalista collections and model numbers

If you have been looking to buy my cool El Naturalista Ikebana sandals , you might have been disappointed not finding what you were expecting to find (the same model as mine). There is a reason to that. When looking for a shoe you saw somewhere, you will need the collection name as well as number otherwise your search result won't be pinpointed to the exact same shoes. Each El Naturalista collection of shoes offers many different models.

For example, the Papua collection (inspired by New Guinea flora and fauna) has 4 different models (including my cool N552). The Ikebana collection (inspired by Japanese art) also come in different models.

Can you bieleve that these El Naturalista RecyclUS shoes are all hand stitched! No glue, no machine. Hand stitched.....like back then. Not only that, but they are made from recycled material and once you don't feel like wearing your pair of shoes any longer (because you bought a cooler pair of El Naturalista), you can send them back and they will be recycled by the company! Talk about having a conscience!

    I own several pairs of their clogs and so appreciate how incredibly comfortable they are. I will live in them this summer. I hope El Naturalista keeps coming out with new styles and colors of clogs in particular.

    I am a big fan of Spanish products, I've been using some of them for years and continue purchasing them. I don't know El Naturalista shoes, though, but I might give them a try the next time I'll be looking for a new pair. Nicely done and blessed! :)

    You make a great shoe saleswoman. I'll take one of each thank you. I'd love to have a pair but would be worried about buying something from Europe and trying to return it.

    These sound like wonderful shoes--but a little out of my price range.

    They look amazing, I will need to try them for sure.

    I usually don't spend much on clothing and fashion, but one exception to that is a really good pair of comfortable shoes - now THAT is worth it to me. And I had not ever heard of this particular brand, so thanks for the heads up. Glad to know that El Naturalista shoes are made in Spain and NOT China. I also have a lens about comfy shoes & feature my favorite brands there... maybe this one will eventually be included after I try them out.
