Were these technologies transferred to Gorila too or were other methods developed for children’s footwear?
We incorporated them into the Gorila products with most added value. It must not be forgotten that with children’s footwear we have to ensure that the shoes are always sufficiently soft so that they do not deform the foot with lasts that are too stiff. Before Adaptaction, the company had already developed other technologies… The main thing has been Adaptaction, developed by the Hergar team in collaboration with the Inescop technological institute to give a more scientific base to all of the development work. Previously there were others, such as Over, that provided a chamber of internal air to the shoe that cushioned the impact of walking. Air Climaction was a more sophisticated version of Over.
