NAPLES, FL (March 23, 2022) Chinelas’ lightweight Baba loafers are as comfortable as they are stylish. A pillow-like memory foam insole cushions the foot while a suede lining offers a soft glove-like fit. Slim black EVA soles keep these shoes lightweight and more flexible than rubber soles. Chinelas’ women’s Baba loafers feature springy/summery gingham uppers in red/white, pink/white, blue/white and black/white with coordinating trim. The inspiration for these shoes was found in a colorful Moroccan market. The handcrafted elegant Babouche footwear with supple leather has adorned the feet of kings and commoners for centuries. This footwear is designed for all, men and women, young and old, rich and poor. In the spirit of Equality Chinelas presents the “Baba” – a soft, stylish, sleek treat for your feet. Suggested retail from $69 USD. Wearchinelas.com
“Our Baba shoes are comfortable like a slipper but fashionable and designed for streetwear,” explained Christine Picerno, Chinelas owner/designer. “Our shoes are inspired by the comfortable footwear we’ve fallen in love with during our travels.”
Chinelas is named after the Argentinian word for slip-ons. Picerno recalls, “As with most fashion-minded Argentinian families, my mother would cringe when my grandmother would wear her chinelas out in public. These early childhood memories inspired me to design our versatile footwear line which combines equal parts comfort and style to create shoes you can wear around the house or run around in all day.”
