You love military boots. What you don't love is getting home and wanting to take them off before you've even closed the door.
The El Naturalista Atacama have everything you love about a great pair of boots: leather, high laces and that bold, rugged look that goes with almost anything.
But there's a difference you can't see at first glance. Your toes have room to move, the sole bends with your feet, and there's no raised heel changing the way you walk.
You buy them for the way they look. And you keep wearing them for the way they feel.
Military-style boots that look tough on the outside and respect your feet on the inside
Some boots look fantastic. Until you put them on. On the outside, they have everything you're looking for: leather, laces, a sole with character and that timeless military style.
But after a few hours of walking, your toes start complaining. The sole barely bends, and all you want is to get home and take them off. The El Naturalista Atacama are unisex leather barefoot boots that retain the rugged appearance of classic military boots while featuring a wide toe box, flexible rubber sole and zero drop design, giving your feet greater freedom of movement.
They have presence, personality and a design that works effortlessly with your everyday clothes. And the best part is that you don't have to sacrifice comfort to enjoy that style.

The rugged look of military boots with the freedom of barefoot footwear
Traditional military boots often come with stiff soles, narrow toe boxes and raised heels that keep your feet constantly tilted. The Atacama change the rules.
Their Comfort last provides extra room around the toes, allowing them to rest in a more natural position instead of being squeezed together throughout the day. The 16 mm flexible rubber sole provides a substantial base beneath your feet while maintaining the flexibility needed to follow their natural movement as you walk.
What's more, the zero drop design keeps your heels and toes at the same height, without the raised heel typically found in conventional boots. This means you can enjoy the bold appearance of rugged boots without the usual restrictions of stiff footwear.
An especially appealing combination if you're looking for military-style minimalist boots for everyday wear but prefer a thicker sole than those found on the thinnest barefoot models.
Genuine leather, durable stitching and a lining without fur
Good boots don't have to look delicate to feel comfortable. The El Naturalista Atacama are made from bovine leather, a material that gives them the authentic, natural appearance that suits their design so well.
The high-cut upper covers the ankle, while the laces allow you to adjust the fit across the instep and around the upper section, accommodating different foot shapes. They also feature 360° stitched construction, joining the different parts of the footwear and reinforcing its structure.
And there's another important difference on the inside. The lining is made from 80% leather and 20% microfibre, without a fur lining. This makes them an appealing alternative for anyone who prefers leather boots without an especially warm lining.
And there's another detail you'll appreciate: a removable 4.5 mm microfibre insole that you can take out to air, clean or create a little extra room inside whenever you need it.

Unisex barefoot boots you don't need a special occasion to wear
Some shoes are bought for a particular occasion. Others become the ones you wear constantly because they work with almost everything. The El Naturalista Atacama belong firmly in the second group.
Whether paired with jeans, cargo trousers or casual clothing, they retain that distinctive military-inspired lace-up boot style that adds personality without looking over the top. They're an excellent choice for men and women looking for leather barefoot boots for autumn and winter, especially for walking around town, going to work or enjoying everyday activities.
They're also a great match for anyone who prefers boots without a fur lining but still wants the coverage and distinctive appearance of a higher-cut design. However, if you need heavily insulated boots for extreme temperatures or technical waterproof footwear for mountain adventures, it's better to choose a model specifically designed for those conditions.
The Atacama have a different purpose. To show you that boots can have all the character of military footwear without forcing your feet into an uncomfortable position.
Because your boots can have a strong personality without forcing it onto your feet.
