Original Italian Heritage
Can you recognize a finely-crafted sandal?
You feel it the right moment you put it on: soft, enveloping, and perfectly balanced. You recognize it in the details: the precise leather cutting, the carefully finished stitching, the flawless craftsmanship. A well-made sandal is not just visually appealing: it is designed for comfort, step after step. Every Nuovo Nicar shoe is the result of a perfect blend between craftsmanship and innovation, merging Tuscan tradition with a commitment to selecting the finest materials. We oversee every phase with meticulous care, from the initial sketch to production, to ensure a 100% Made in Italy product for those who choose uncompromising quality.
Because a true Italian sandal is not just a fashion statement, it’s an experience.
Masters of interlocking assembly
This special interlocking assembly is our very signature craftsmanship technique, making Nuovo Nicar sandals a benchmark for durability, comfort, and timeless elegance. This method, honed through years of expertise, ensures a sturdy and solid structure without the need for visible stitching, enhancing both the purity of design and the long-lasting quality of the product. The result is a seamless, flexible, and lightweight sandal.
It all begins with the perforation and precise interlocking of components: straps, footbeds, and soles are meticulously joined and secured with natural adhesives for a solid and resistant structure. The final step is grinding, which perfects every detail: edges and surfaces are carefully smoothed for a refined finish, ensuring impeccable aesthetics with every step.
From the fashion concept to the finished sandal
Every sandal is born from a meticulous design and modeling process, where creativity meets technical expertise to create a perfectly balanced product that blends aesthetics with comfort. Countless models, endless customization possibilities, and a wide range of shapes, accessories, colors, and materials. Thanks to our expertise, we develop prototypes and samples both for in-house designs and client-provided projects, transforming every idea into a tangible and functional piece of footwear. From material selection to shaping, from prototyping to final fit adjustments, every detail is carefully studied to ensure quality, wearability, and style always aligned with market demands and brand expectations.
Every detail is a choice. Every finish tells a story.
At the heart of our shoemaking craft
Our master artisans combine tradition and innovation in the creation of men’s and women’s sandals crafted from premium vegetable-tanned Crust leather. The leather is treated, dyed, and finished only after the components are assembled, preserving the natural beauty of the material. Craftsmanship shines through in the deep knowledge of raw materials, the skillful techniques used to enhance them, and the ability to create unique, custom-made sandals. Our artisanal expertise is seamlessly integrated into an engineered production process, where manual craftsmanship and automation coexist in perfect harmony. This approach allows us to meet the demands of a highly competitive market without compromising the authenticity of Italian manufacturing. In an ever-evolving industry, we create timeless footwear that transcends seasons with impeccable quality and style.
Sandals you’ll fall in love with at first touch
The allure of genuine leather lies in its softness to the touch, the subtle scent hidden in its folds, and the unique character it gains over time. That’s why our men’s and women’s sandals are a refined investment: they’re designed to be treasured and to grow even more beautiful with the years.
Our vegetable-tanned Crust leathers are carefully sourced from the finest Tuscan tanneries, selected to highlight the exceptional qualities of this living, precious, and ever-changing material.
Vacchetta leather is a premium calfskin treated with a vegetable tanning process, free from harsh chemicals, and softened with oil-based treatments to enhance its elasticity and smoothness to the touch.
