FAQs
Are these shoes truly unisex?
Yes, the El Naturalista Oroel Bare 5 Low Shoes are designed with a unisex fit. However, it's important to consult a sizing guide and measure your foot carefully, as fit can vary between individuals.
How do I clean the green leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for leather footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber outsole offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, it is recommended to use a water-repellent spray designed for leather and avoid prolonged exposure to wet environments.
What is the heel height?
These shoes feature a flat heel, providing a comfortable and stable walking experience without elevation.
How often should I remove and clean the insole?
It is recommended to remove and air out the insole after significant wear to help manage moisture and odor. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically as needed, typically every few weeks depending on usage.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
These shoes pair well with a variety of socks, from thin dress socks to thicker casual socks, depending on the weather and your comfort preference. Given the natural feel of the shoe, cotton or wool blend socks are often a good choice.
Can I replace the laces if they wear out?
Yes, the laces can be easily replaced. You can purchase standard flat shoelaces of a similar length from most shoe care retailers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, double-check your size against a conversion chart or consider if a different size is needed.
Insole feels uncomfortable or is dirty.
Remove the microfibre insole. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. For persistent discomfort, consider replacing it with a compatible, cushioned insole.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. For significantly slippery conditions, consider using a shoe grip enhancer or consulting a cobbler.
Leather shows signs of dryness or scuffing.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized. For scuffs, use a matching color leather polish and buff gently.
