The uniqueness of footwear produced by the Italian company Geox lies in its ability to "breathe" and the absence of analogues. As far as reviews can tell, Geox shoes are liked by almost all consumers who have worn them.
The year of foundation of the brand Geox (the company specializes in the production of clothing and footwear from "breathable" materials) - 1995. The founder of the company is Mario Moretti Polegato.
A little about Geox
Geox has patented several inventions related to innovative technologies and materials. With its own research center, the brand cooperates with third-party experimental laboratories belonging to major technological universities. The modern technique used in production is focused on developing the most airtight leather sole without losing its natural qualities. One of the stages of research work ended with the invention of membranes.
Geox adult waterproof winter boots
Winterwaterproof boots are created in accordance with the patented Breathable Thermal Insulation technique. The sole of the boot consists of a porous rubberized material and is equipped with a breathable membrane. Thanks to this structure, the original Geox shoes do not “sweat”, as moisture, without lingering inside, is brought out through the pores.
From the outside, the boots are also protected from getting wet, so the wearer's feet are always warm and dry.
The upper part of this model, according to the description provided by the manufacturer, is made of textile and synthetics. The sole is equipped with an anatomical felt insole from the inside. The same material is used for the inner lining.
The top of the boots fastens with two Velcro.
Sizes and their correspondence to the length of the foot
If female foot length:
220 millimeters, the size of the lady's foot, according to the size grid of Geox, is 34th;
223 millimeters in Geox size scale corresponds to size 34.5;
227 millimeters - 35th size;
233 mm - size 36;
240 millimeters - 37th;
245 millimeters - size 37.5;
250 millimeters - size 38
If a man's foot length is:
280 millimeters, he is the owner of the 42nd size;
285 millimeters give out the owner of the 43rd size;
290mm is size 44;
295 millimeters - 45th
Buyers note that Geox's dimensional grid is different from the usual, generally accepted. But despite this,100% size match. This can be seen from the reviews. Geox children's shoe size chart is as follows:
Children's foot length of 93 mm corresponds to Geox size 15;
foot length 100 millimeters corresponds to size 16;
107, 110, 113, 117 and 120 millimeters - 17, 17, 5, 18, 18, 5, 19 sizes respectively
Winter boots with membrane soles - not for city dwellers…
Such a conclusion suggests itself after reading reviews of Geox winter shoes left by urban consumers who bought boots with a "breathable" membrane.
Moreover, negative reviews refer not so much to the quality of boots and the technology of their manufacture, but to the chemicals used to treat icy sidewalks in the post-Soviet territory.
At first, buyers report that the boots bring only joy: they really "breathe", the feet are warm, and the light sole is very easy to wash off dirt. This continues until the membranes are corroded by the “chemistry” scattered in the pedestrian zone. As a result, the sole begins to let in cold air.
Conclusion: winter boots with membrane soles from Geox are not suitable for CIS citizens living in cities.
Geox children's winter shoes. Parent feedback
According to consumers living in the former Soviet Union, Geox manufactures two types of children's shoes: for the "post-Soviet" andCentral European frosts.
As you know, the winter in Central Europe differs significantly from the post-Soviet - on the coldest days, the thermometer here drops to a maximum of -5 °C. According to reviews, Geox children's winter shoes come with wool and textile lining. Smaller owners of a more insulated version, according to their parents, can walk in regular tights all winter, regardless of the temperature and humidity level.
By the way, children's wool-lined boots have one feature. If a child wears terry tights when going for a walk, the legs may sweat from overheating.
Judging by the opinions of parents living in the territory of the former USSR, along with first-class, neatly cut and made from natural materials boots, roughly “knocked” shoes peacefully coexist, reminiscent of a clumsy attempt to fake the original. According to the results of wearing, both models perfectly perform their main functions - they do not get wet. The advantage of shoes made from natural materials is that when the size of the older child's foot increases, the younger one can wear the boots.
It is also worth noting that Geox shoes are not only produced in the Italian factory owned by the Polegato family. Breathable shoes are also made in Brazil, Bulgaria, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and Thailand.
Children's shoe care
Insulated children's winter shoes from the Italian company Geox do not require special care. To clean the upper part of the boots you will needsuede care products. Rubber soles should be treated occasionally with a water repellent (e.g. Twist).
Boots for warm winters only need to be impregnated with a water-repellent agent - they are completely made of rubber material.
Most parents say they have never seen children's winter boots that outperform Geox boots. Feedback from this category of consumers also indicates that they will continue to purchase shoes from this particular company.
Demi-season children's shoes
The off-season in the eastern part of Europe lasts at least six months, so demi-season children's shoes must be selected with particular care. In children's boots Geox from the Respira Antibacterial collection, according to the creators of these shoes, the child will be happy to walk most of the year. As far as consumer reviews can tell, children's Geox Respira Antibacterial shoes are liked by both children and their parents.
The main differences of this collection are a convenient fastener in the form of Velcro, as well as the presence of protection against flat feet and curvature of the feet (we are talking about orthopedic insoles and sealed backs).
Genuine leather and nubuck were used to make the Geox Respira Antibacterial collection. The inner lining is a combination of leather and textile fabric. Textile insoles made with the unique Geox Respira technology allow your feet to breathe while wicking moisture away."Breathable" Flexi System sole (made using Geox World P. C. T. Patent technology), repeating all the bends of the foot, prevents slipping.
Geox demi-season men's shoes. Customer Reviews
This type of men's shoes has received more criticism than praise. Men who have experienced negative emotions describe their impressions something like this: the foot is fettered from all sides by freezing vile cold even at ten degrees Celsius. The soles of the shoes are really waterproof, but the feet are still uncomfortable and damp.
Somewhat different is the case with sports shoes. The quality of sneakers is completely satisfied with consumers. However, even here there were some incidents. Some men note that the sneakers they have at their disposal are perfect on the outside, but not finalized on the inside. The reason for dissatisfaction is an uncomfortable insole, which strongly rubs the foot.
It would be useful to note that the authors of such reviews were in the minority. The majority of consumers are satisfied with new clothes.
Many consumers - both men and women - did not like Geox summer shoes. From the reviews it follows that the "breathable" sole with holes immediately becomes dirty and is almost impossible to clean.
