Sandals since 1978

Premium Italian Steps

For over 45 years, Nuovo Nicar has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality Italian sandals. Our story is built on passion, expertise, and dedication to the art of shoemaking, deeply rooted in the rich Tuscan tradition.
Each sandal is the result of time-honored craftsmanship, where premium raw materials, meticulous attention to detail, and uncompromising artisanal expertise come together to create exceptional footwear. We process Crust vegetable-tanned cowhide, suede, nubuck, and natural leather with the utmost care without ever reducing the finishing steps to ensure a product that combines refined aesthetics, comfort, and durability.
From our workshops to boutiques around the world, we proudly export the value of true Made in Italy sandals.

Made in Italy, tailored for you.

Each Nuovo Nicar sandal is born from a perfect balance of craftsmanship, style and innovation that can guarantee uncompromising quality and value for money. The attention to fashion trends combines with the pursuit of elegance and comfort to create collections with refined designs and impeccable fits.
Our agile and flexible structure allows us to offer customized productions even in small quantities, adapting materials, finishes, and details to meet diverse price ranges. We provide a comprehensive service, supporting clients at every stage of product development while ensuring high-quality standards, certified SA 8000:2008 and OHSAS 18001:2007, across every production batch.
Because walking should not be just an everyday act, but an experience that embodies authentic Italian style, both seen and felt.

Strong roots, a look towards the future.

Nuovo Nicar was founded in 1978 as a family business and still retains the authentic and independent spirit that has distinguished it from the beginning. We are an integral part of the Tuscan leather district, a region where the art of tanning and footwear craftsmanship has been passed down for generations, forming a strong network of specialized expertise, synergies, and trusted partnerships.
This environment enables us to rely on a supply chain of excellence, where every stage of production is entrusted to skilled hands, ensuring the highest quality standards and a product that truly embodies Made in Italy excellence. Our strength lies not only in the experience of our founders but also in the passion and energy of the new generation, who today bring innovation to every department, from sales and pattern making to assembly and quality control. With a team of 26 professionals driven by a shared commitment, we are evolving our processes and embracing innovative technologies, while staying true to the values of excellence that have made us a benchmark in both the Italian and international footwear markets.
