OVERVIEW
The El Naturalista Oroel N5435C is the most breathable and lightweight version of the brand’s barefoot trainer range. While the N5435A combines leather and nylon, the N5435C features a hexagonal open mesh upper, delivering maximum airflow and reduced weight.
Same barefoot philosophy — zero drop, wide toe box, fully flexible rubber outsole, no heel counter, removable microfibre insole — now in a design that leans more towards retro running trainers than mountain footwear.
The Multi Candy colourway is the most summery and feminine option in the Oroel family: cream/ecru mesh base, pink suede on heel and lace area, grey suede toe cap, caramel/amber outsole, “1998” printed on the side (brand foundation year) and spiral logo detailing. A four-tone palette designed to work effortlessly with a summer wardrobe.
Available at Calzados Vesga in-store and online.
