TECHNOLOGIES
USED IN THE DESIGN OF OUR PRODUCTS
You may not have heard of Grisport before, but we've been making handmade leather boots since 1977. Since we made our first pair of boots by hand at the foot of the Dolomites, we have become one of Italy's top footwear brands. Our commitment to quality and comfort guarantees your satisfaction when you buy a pair of Grisport boots.
Discover the different technologies we use in the design of our Grisport boots and shoes below.
HIGH QUALITY LEATHER
The Top - The outside of the shoe above the sole. Usually made of tough, durable materials such as leather or lighter options like suede. The use of good leather is of paramount importance and Grisport scours the world for the best leather available.
Selecting the best leathers ensures breathability, performance and exceptional comfort. Our leather is tested to ensure maximum waterproof protection possible. The thickness of our leather varies between 2 mm and 2.2 mm.
WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE
The Lining - Some walking shoes can be made with a waterproof lining that will protect your feet from wet conditions, ideal for walking in wet weather.
Our Gritex, Spotex and Sympatex membranes are made to ensure that the shoes are highly breathable with durable waterproof protection. We carefully close all stitching on the inside of the boot to ensure better insulation than traditional open liners.
SUPPORT SYSTEM
The Support System® is an effective heel lock system designed and patented by Grisport to achieve perfect foot control with optimal grip during all phases of movement. The fit is always comfortable and secure.
It also helps maintain the shape of the boot, which can be crucial to the comfort and performance of the boot. A good support system can also help support the ankle and foot, which can reduce the risk of injury. The fit is always comfortable and secure.
VIBRAM SOLES
Each Vibram® sole is designed to provide maximum performance, comfort and durability for even the most demanding user. With over 60 years of experience, Vibram® works with Grisport to ensure that each sole undergoes rigorous testing and inspection. Vibram soles are the best to wear.
-
For arch support: an anatomical and perforated insole for fantastic breathability. It is antibacterial, removable and odor resistant. It can be removed for the insertion of orthopedic insoles.
-
The component between the insole and the outsole, it acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect your feet and provide superior comfort. The Grisport sole stabilizer provides support for the arch of the foot and is torsion resistant to ensure maximum stability when walking and reduce flexing on uneven ground.
-
The outsole is the rubber or TPR strip that runs along the bottom of the shoe. The deeper lugs tend to be more effective in rough conditions, while the shallower lugs offer more comfort for rockier trails. With over 60 years of experience, Vibram® works with Grisport to ensure that each model undergoes rigorous testing and inspection.
SHAPE AND FIT
Our shoes are designed and tested for different foot shapes to ensure maximum comfort and minimum fatigue.
Grisport shoes are ergonomically designed to fit all types of feet. Even the tongue has been custom built to avoid gaps so that the shoes wrap perfectly around your feet for comfort and a precision fit. Our unique CAO technology simulates all phases of walking in every design we create.
RIGOROUSLY TESTED
We constantly subject our shoes to rigorous testing in our laboratories. We check the abrasion resistance and the durability of the materials to guarantee a high resistance to wear.
Dynamometer: We constantly subject our shoes to strict tests in our laboratories; the dynamometer allows us to check the quality of the sole's grip.
Martindale: Our laboratories carry out this test to check the resistance to abrasion and the durability of the materials in order to guarantee greater resistance to wear.
