A high barefoot boot where design, proportions, and silhouette take the lead. The knee-length shape creates a strong vertical line, while the lacing functions as a visual element, setting a clear rhythm and adding character without overwhelming the form. The laces are adjusted once to define a personalized fit, while a full-length side zipper allows for quick and easy everyday wear. This construction keeps the silhouette clean and highlights the thoughtful design of the model.

Crafted in black leather, the boot has a deep, restrained appearance that integrates effortlessly into both minimalist and more expressive looks. It styles easily with dresses, skirts, and trousers of various silhouettes, remaining a central accent of the outfit.

Designed with a wide, foot-shaped toe box for natural toe alignment and freedom of movement, paired with a thin, flexible, lightweight zero-drop sole that supports natural foot mechanics. The construction includes no arch support or rigid reinforcements.

The upper, lining, and insole are made from natural Italian leather. The custom-developed NUGAIA branded sole features a slip-resistant pattern, incorporates natural rubber, and helps retain warmth. Finished with professional treatments for moisture and water protection.

Developed in collaboration with podiatry, orthopedics, and movement biomechanics experts to combine comfort with long-term foot health.
