Key Features of the Ricosta Nora
- Premium Smooth Leather: Built from a high-grade, supple natural leather that provides natural flex, excellent uniform resilience, and a polished, professional look.
- Trendy Chunky Sole Unit: Get the popular, bold aesthetic without the restrictive weight. The shock-absorbing PU sole provides outstanding playground durability and ground grip while remaining remarkably light on her feet all day.
- Orthotic-Friendly Removable Insoles: Features high-quality, removable textile insoles. This design provides the necessary depth required to seamlessly accommodate custom prescription orthotics or podiatry inserts.
- Independent Rip-Tape Fastening: The reliable single touch-fastening strap allows for quick independent dressing and ensures a precise, secure fit across the top of the foot.
Why Our In-Store Shoe Fitters Recommend the Nora Leather
At our shops in Bourne and Stamford, our professional shoe fitting teams regularly recommend the Ricosta Nora on our fitting stools. Here is what makes it a standout option:
- Solves the "Uniform Policy" Dilemma: This style is a massive hit for older girls who want a fashionable chunky sole, but still need to meet strict school uniform rules that require neat, simple black footwear.
- Cushioned Ankle Protection: Soft cushioning around the collar cradles the heel close to the foot, ensuring a rub-free, supportive fit right out of the box.
- Trusted, Bonded Quality: Expertly made in Europe using direct-injection sole moulding, meaning the lightweight chunky PU outer sole is structurally bonded straight to the upper, eliminating the risk of split or separated soles.
Fit Tip: Optimised for a standard middle/medium width profile. The adjustable rip-tape strap allows you to easily secure the foot across the instep, and removing the insoles offers excellent extra volume control if required to accommodate custom podiatry inserts.
