Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

Cork: A natural, sustainable material extracted from the bark of the cork oak tree, which excels in the shoe industry for its lightness, flexibility and shape memory. Its unique honeycomb-like cell structure contains millions of air bubbles that act as a natural shock absorber and thermal insulator. In footwear, cork is most commonly used for insoles and midsoles because it can adapt anatomically to the specific shape of the foot over time, providing individual arch support. It is naturally antibacterial, odour-resistant and, thanks to its ability to insulate, protects the feet from overheating and cold from the ground.

Vulcanized rubber: refers to a sole that is reinforced in exposed places and is aimed at maximum safety, so it is most often used in skateboard models.
