Cork footwear and wedges.
Soles production
The use of cork granules in sole molding affects the polyurethane, latex, and pvc industries. The production of the related compound has enabled the manufacture of lighter and more aesthetically appealing soles. No other natural product has the outstanding physical, physiological and hygienic characteristics of cork, such as: impermeability, elasticity and lightness.
The elasticity of this material contributes to the well-being of the joints, tendons and muscles of the foot, making shoes made with cork soles highly recommended. The biodegradability of cork promotes remarkable self-sterility, preventing microbes from easily settling inside footwear.
Cork
wedges
Since 1980, Cork Line has been dedicated to the development and production of cork insoles and inserts that represented the inner soul of the house slipper. The entire mold design took place in-house, from making the patterns, to fixing the molds, once made, on in-house production presses. An evolved system of opening and closing the presses managed by an intelligent, non-manual system, enabled much more effective and efficient production.
Our corporate mission, shared by our entire team, was to get cork, a naturally noble, lightweight material, inside the slipper, replacing materials that were not breathable and not exactly compatible with the idea of the foot’s well-being.
Later, wedges and cork face bottoms were introduced. Among the latter, we introduced sanitary ware at a later stage, that is, cork bottoms with anatomical footbeds. These cork soles provide considerable support to the arch of the foot and forefoot in daily life, helping to maintain correct posture, which is particularly important for back health.
