Like the Japanese art of which takes its name, Furoshiki wraps the foot, assuring a personalized dressing and a unique comfort thanks to its ergonomic strips.

The element of major innovation is the sole that continues to the upper made of elastic fabric, where the development of a new technology allows the rubber to be injected directly on the textile, allowing the shoe to have structure and adaptability to any kind of foot and in any condition.

Furoshiki closes in two steps thanks to the Velcro attached to the wings and heels.
