Nuvola on the foot of a baby crawling on a kilim

nuvola, cloud.

Nuvola is less a shoe than a second skin.

While your baby crawls, it protects the places where the tops of the feet rub along the floor, and its sole lets them feel the ground just as it is. The soft elastic at the ankle holds it in place like a sock, so it doesn’t come off easily even when your baby tugs at it. It isn’t meant to replace bare feet at home; it’s there for cold floors and visits to friends.

Care
  • Can be hand washed in lukewarm water, without soap or with a very little natural soap.
  • Don’t wring; wrap in a towel to draw out the water and dry on a flat surface.
  • Because the sole is leather, flex it gently in your hand once it’s dry.
