At a glance, it looks like a regular shoe, but Geox’s new XENSE shoes are five times more breathable than standard shoes. XENSE shoes have a special sole with small pores that exude sweat vapor and odor.
These pores are a part of GEOX’s NET technology, which is a three-layered system. GEOX collaborated with a team of mechanics and technicians to create soles that have breathable pores that are big enough to excrete heat, but not enough for water to enter the shoe. Each pore is about 1/700 of a droplet of water in size.
The XENSE is top-notch in quality. It is the official track shoe of the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Team, keeping professionals’ feet dry and providing optimal comfort.
