TECH INNOVATION: Geox, the Italian footwear brand, continues to invest in innovation.
On Thursday, Geox president Mario Moretti Polegato presented a new technology called “ventilated cushioning system,” whereby the natural movement of the foot while walking and a component inserted into the sole activate ventilation in the shoe. The technology was introduced in the new “Climasandal” line for spring 2026.
The sole is composed of three different parts: in the rear part, corresponding to the heel, a cushion has been integrated that compresses under the weight of the foot and activates an airflow. Inside, the air is pushed toward the forefoot through specific ventilation channels that allow air to escape through holes, giving a sensation of continued freshness. The new sole is ultra-light and comfortable, weighing 40 percent less than a common sandal sole.
