FAQs
What does 'barefoot, zero-drop' design mean?
A barefoot, zero-drop design means the shoe has no heel elevation (zero drop) and typically offers a more flexible sole, mimicking the natural feel of walking barefoot. This promotes a more natural foot posture and gait.
Are these shoes truly unisex?
Yes, the design is intended to be unisex, meaning it is styled to be suitable for any gender. However, it is important to select the correct size based on standard UK adult foot measurements.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For best results and to maintain the color, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for green leather.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the microfibre insole is removable and can be replaced with an orthotic or a different type of insole if desired, although it is designed to provide comfort and ease of maintenance as is.
What kind of socks are best with these shoes?
Given the barefoot design and textile lining, breathable socks made from natural materials like cotton or bamboo are recommended for optimal comfort and moisture management. However, they are also designed to be worn sockless comfortably.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and regular use, the El Naturalista Oroel Bare 5 shoes, featuring 360° stitched construction and a durable rubber outsole, are designed for longevity. Lifespan can vary based on wear patterns and maintenance.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The comfort last and lace-up fastening allow for some adjustability. While not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes, many users find them accommodating. It is recommended to try them on or consult customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the sizing guide and measuring your feet.
Discomfort during the first few wears.
The barefoot, zero-drop design may require an adjustment period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as your feet adapt.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to moisturize the leather and a leather cream or polish to address scuffs, matching the green color as closely as possible.
Insole feels damp or has an odor.
Remove the microfibre insole and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. You can also lightly wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
