Where are Geox shoes made?
Although GEOX is marketed as an Italian brand (the raw materials, technology and design are Italian) their products are manufactured outside Italy.
Shoes with a rubber outsole can present breathability issues: Geox perforated the rubber outsole and inserted a special waterproof and breathable membrane inside it, allowing the feet to breathe while preventing water from entering the shoe. The true benefit of this system is that it keeps feet dry.
Italian brand Geox was also seeing interest from retailers looking to buy product that isn't being manufactured in China. The company, which produces largely in Cambodia, Vietnam, India and Croatia, has seen a pickup in business.
MONTEBELLUNA, Italy — Shoes made by Geox, the most popular footwear brand in Italy, are decidedly less fashionable than the sleek and stylish brands keeping them company in Italian shop windows.
Although Geox is a younger, casual shoe brand compared to others, they've already proven themselves as an excellent option for those who require orthotic solutions. Their shoes were designed to be comfortable for men and women first and fashionable second (although they're no slouches in the looks department).
China was the world's leading producer of footwear in 2020, with a total of approximately 11 billion pairs of shoes produced. China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia are leaders in footwear production, which highlights the domination of the Asia Pacific (APAC) region in this industry.
Geox research has found an innovative way to make a naturally breathable material like leather waterproof. We use a special breathable waterproof membrane inside the leather outsole so the foot stays dry all day long. The true benefit is that you can wear your Geox shoes in any situation, even when it's raining.
Geox makes a quality shoe. Leather inside and out. Very comfortable, especially for walking. The Respira technology helps them breath also.
Geox has perforated the rubber soles of its shoes and inserted a special microporous membrane that absorbs and expels sweat without letting water in. The membrane's micropores are smaller than water drops, but are larger than the water vapour molecules.
Not only that, GEOX is made from quality materials, mainly leather, synthetic and mesh textiles, improving the durability and structure.
Who owns Geox?
Floafers manufactures its shoes in Vietnam.
We know that Geox shoes are breathable as they have tiny holes in the sole centred around where the sweat glands are found in the foot. These special soles are claimed to allow sweat out while the special patented membrane inside the sole will keep feet dry from puddles and the rain.

Geox closed 2020 with revenues down to 534.9 million euros, following the closing months and a new sales strategy. In fact, the brand is planning the definitive closure of 110 stores in the period 2021-23. Among these, the closure of the Milanese flagship store in via Torino stands out.
ECCO shoes have a wide range of styles for people who prefer a classic leather look. Geox shoes also use leather in much of their footwear, but often features intricate designs and patterns as well that make the shoes akin to a work of art.
Do not machine wash. Hand wash in warm (max. 40°C) soapy water. Always remove the insole (if possible) before washing your footwear.
