Our name expresses a different way of thinking and acting. Being a "Naturalista" implies a respect for a rich and deep philosophy that places its trust in life and, on principle, attributes all things to nature.
Our symbol, the frog, represents a land made fertile by water and embodies simple, worldly pleasures. The frog represents the permanent fight against stagnation and reflects our nonconformist character.
El Naturalista starts his journey observing everything that surrounded him. He travelled through the world and observed it, becoming impregnated by its textures, its colours, its lines... and after a thousand journeys, real and imaginary, he discovered that a single idea brings us together. Whatever our race or culture... we all walk in search of happiness.
It is that simple. And that complicated.
Market laws lead us to a model based on immediacy from which it is very difficult to free oneself. El Naturalista wishes to demonstrate the world that it is possible to advance in a different direction, along a different road, living and enjoying life.
Movement is our reason to be and exist. That´s why we enjoy creating comfortable and nice footwear, that will help us to start the amazing journey of living. Shoes for people who advance as they walk. Designed by people that build as they dream.
Aware of our responsibility with our world, we make our way smoothing the path for communities wishing to learn and with a lot to teach us. In a mutual learning act, we bring progress closer to the peoples who inspire us and help them to grow, not only as a group but also as people. Progress, if it is to be synonymous to devastation, makes no sense to us. Life inspires life and that´s why El Naturalista develops footwear to walk through it.
