Geox is a renowned Italian brand famous for its innovative 'breathable' footwear and apparel. The brand's origin dates back to the early 1990s when its founder, Mario Moretti Polegato, developed a solution for sweaty feet by piercing rubber soles to allow airflow while maintaining water resistance. This technology became the foundation for the company's signature 'Respira' patent, which has since been expanded into a wide range of casual and formal shoes for men, women, and children.

While the brand's creative direction, design, and research and development remain centered at its headquarters in Italy, manufacturing is carried out through a global supply chain. Production primarily takes place in countries with specialized footwear industrial hubs, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and several European nations like Serbia and Romania. Geox maintains its status as an independent public company, led by its original founder, and continues to be a leader in the global lifestyle footwear market.
