Romika Shoes & Their Technologies – An Innovative Footwear Brand
Posted By: Rebecca | Published: 11-11-10
 

With their own history as an innovative footwear brand and their current conjunction with Josef Seibel, the Romika brand have designed a fantastic range of shoes that incorporate their advanced technologies.

  • PU Sole – this type of sole offers numerous qualities and advantages to the standard sole, alongside being more durable and flexible. The PU sole is constructed by the injection of two polymers into moulds, causing a foaming reaction, which then forms the footbed and allows for a direct fusion with the upper of the sole.

No Glue – the fusion of the footbed to the upper of the shoe means no glue is needed; creating a watertight seal and one that bonds the two, increasing durability and reducing the risk of the joining becoming unstuck through wear.

Low Density – due to the foaming reaction that is created, this allows for a much lighter sole, reducing the overall weight of the shoe, applying no unnecessary pressure to the foot.

Firmness – as the PU Sole uses polymers, the densities of those used can reduce the firmness of the sole depending on the function the shoe is required for. The type of soles needed for hiking boots will differ in their entirety from ones that are needed for dress shoes.
  • Dry Tex Lining – a material that is made entirely from polyester; giving the shoe a property that allows the foot to breathe whilst also wicking away any moisture. What's more, the material is durable and retains its colour.
  • Top-Dry Boots – this range of boots are pioneering for their kind, offering a windproof, waterproof boot for any types of weathers. The boots include features such as the RomiTex® membrane, which allows for a breathable, comfortable environment for the foot, essential when walking great distances. Additionally, many of the boots within this range can be machine washed and dried out on radiators, allowing for a quick, efficient way to clean ones boots; something not many walking boots offer. See our Romika Colorado 118 Zip & Toggle Ladies Snow Boot for an example of Romika's Top-Dry Boots.
