Huarache sandals are still largely unknown in Germany. We want to change that as fans. So we developed a Huarache sandal by hand, which we christened Chala. The name Chala comes from Latin American Spanish and means "raw leather sandal". This is exactly what our Chalas are: Minimalist sandals in which the naturally colored leather sole has been supplemented with a protective natural rubber layer that is securely held on the foot by just one shoelace.

Handcrafted Grounding Footwear - comfortable barefootshoes that are good for planet, body and sole
Handcrafted Grounding Footwear - comfortable barefootshoes that are good for planet, body and sole
South Africa

Our Story

In December 2020, Earth Sole's journey began. It all started when my friend Sarah handed me repurposed leather. I had recently watched the documentary "Kiss The Ground," and found myself drawn to the concept of "grounding." Holding the leather in my hand, I thought about how special it would be to create my own shoes, allowing me to stay in contact with the healthy energy of Mother Nature.

Throughout the following year, I continued being surprised by the interest my shoes got when I wore them myself. Despite having no experience in either leather or shoemaking, and recognizing the numerous benefits of the shoes, the idea of starting of making them for others too…

Fast forward to May 2022, I had moved back to Cape Town, and started looking for repurposed leather and for people to help me with the intricate 2-hour process of crafting a pair. I started measuring many people's feet, on both markets and parties and I continuously improved the designs made, again, by fitting them on people’s feet.

I started creating a small team, with locals that would work from home, in their own time and at their own pace. Although we do have a small studio in Cape Town, our ladies still work in their own space.

Today, we celebrate our journey toward crafting comfortable, high-quality footwear that inspires a healthier life. Thank you for joining our journey, which started with a single pair of shoes and has now touched the feet and hearts of people worldwide.

Warm regards,

Anouk Anansi - Founder of Earth Sole

A shoe for your feet and not that your feet have to adapt to the shoe. We help the health of your feet by avoiding malformations, improving balance and proprioception. Being absolutely flat (zero drop) your body will be naturally aligned from the base promoting a correct posture and a balance of pressure on your feet so that your lower back does not have to compensate, avoiding pain and poor back postures.

Making minimalist field cleats and basketball sneakers to enable natural movement for every sport
Making minimalist field cleats and basketball sneakers to enable natural movement for every sport
the USA

Why did I start Natur Athletics? It grew out of an over decade long passion for barefoot running and my acute needs as a barefoot runner navigating the regulations of the Marine Corps. I saw so many Marines I trained with, and were under my command, falling prey to completely preventable non-combat injuries coming from the damage their combat boots were doing to their feet and their whole movement system.

Combat Athletes=Athletes

I recognized that the stresses of the modern combat athlete in poorly designed boots were very similar to the debilitating non-contact injuries plaguing modern athletes because of poor footwear design. Athletes, no matter their sport, can live up to their full potential by unlocking our common evolutionary superpower, strong muscular arches in our feet.

Minimalist Child Athletes

As a father to two young children being raised in minimalist shoes, I wanted to make shoes that would allow them to play any sport and unlock the full advantage of the superpowers that my wife and I had so carefully invested in. I didn’t want them to start playing a sport up to 10 hours a week in footwear that would damage and reverse all the benefits of their natural foot development that had been cultivated while barefoot or in minimalist footwear. Natur Athletics is a company that makes revolutionary sport shoes that will help everyone unlock their superpowers and be wild!

Feel the ground you walk on

Kids’ feet are constantly growing, and allowing them to do so as freely as possible is important for their development. The Reima Barefoot shoes do just that as they have a lot of room for toes and the flexible, flat soles make for a natural gait.

Barefoot shoe Astelu

The popular Astelu barefoot shoes are now back in stock! Kids’ feet are meant to grow freely, which is why our Astelu barefoot shoes are spacey at the toes. Their flat, flexible soles feel almost like there was no shoe at all, yet give a great grip for safety. Perfect for warm autumn days or as indoor shoes at daycare or school!

ABOUT US

Minimalist Vita

Since we were children, we have been fascinated by shoes, especially sneakers full of technology and design. As adults, we discovered minimalist shoes, it was love at first sight, beautiful and extremely comfortable.

We loved the idea of ​​having a sneaker that was shaped like a foot, it seemed genius, and their technology was to let our natural technology (in this case our feet) work without interference. Why didn't we think about this before???

However, our problem began when we saw that these shoes did not exist here in Brazil, and importing them was a fortune. There we knew what we had to do, we joined forces and decided to create a completely Brazilian minimalist footwear brand.

Using Brazilian hands in the production, Brazilian designers in the creation and names of the models that paid homage to some of the beauties of our country. As one of our passions was also nature and especially animals, it was not difficult to decide to name our models after animals from our fauna.
