The Geox patent: a revolutionary invention for the footwear industry

The introduction of rubber soles, occurred more than 50 years ago, was an important technological achievement that has changed the lives of millions around the world. Thanks to rubber soles, in fact, the shoes were made waterproof, thus keeping your feet dry and warm, particularly during the winter months.

However, the rubber soles have a defect: do not leave transpire the foot. A limit not negligible considering that precisely in soles you register one of the highest concentrations of sweat glands.

Geox has solved this problem with a simple but revolutionary system, recognized with an international patent.

The Geox patent

The rubber is perforated and within it, is inserted a special membrane microporous structure absorbs and ejects the sweat, but that doesn't do enter the water.

THE SOLE

The Geox revolution began with overturning negative concept of holes in shoes. Always associated shoe consumed and by throwing, the holes have become a plus technology. Geox has placed a series of small holes in rubber, at the highest concentration of sweat glands of the underside of the foot.

THE MEMBRANE

The revolution Geox has accomplished after long searches targeted to the invention of a special membrane, consisting of a microporous material capable of absorbing the sweat form of water vapour and expel him through the perforated soles.
Studies have confirmed that the membrane Geox, with its smaller micro pores of a drop of water, but bigger than a molecule of water vapor, solves the problem. Thanks to this technology is the water can't log into the shoe and foot stays dry

THE FINAL BENEFIT

The sweat of the feet is a natural and healthy physical reaction. Retaining it in shoes, though, it hurts.
Phasing out the sweat from the inside of the shoe, the Geox patent for recreating in footwear ideal microclimate, keeping feet dry and at the right temperature. As demonstrated by thermography, the foot which has a normal shoe with shoe with rubber sole is much more overheated (areas in red) of what he wore a shoe Geox.
