Geox footwear and apparel

Geox is a globally recognized Italian brand primarily famous for its invention of 'the shoe that breathes.' The brand was founded in the early 1990s by Mario Moretti Polegato, who developed a revolutionary perforated sole protected by a worldwide patent. This technology allows sweat to escape while preventing water from entering, merging comfort with technical innovation.

While the brand's heart and design headquarters remain in Italy, Geox utilizes a global supply chain for its high-volume production. Manufacturing takes place in several countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, China, and various locations in Eastern Europe. This diversified production model allows the company to maintain a balance between technical precision and global distribution demands.

Geox S.p.A. is a publicly traded company listed on the Borsa Italiana. It remains under the significant leadership and influence of the Polegato family through their holding company. The brand has expanded beyond its signature footwear to include a wide range of breathable outerwear and accessories, maintaining its position as a leader in the international lifestyle footwear market.
