GLOSSARY
FOOTPRINTS GLOSSARY
Following you can find the most important facts about
the materials we use as well as cleaning and caring
instructions for your FOOTPRINTS.
CATALOGUE
Printing of the FOOTPRINTS catalogue is climate-neutral,
i.e. CO2-emissions that occur during production of the
catalogue are calculated and then compensated by
investments in recognized climate protection projects.
The paper for our catalogue comes exclusively from
sustainable certified forestry.
CORK
The extraordinary properties of natural cork were wellknown
to the ancients and even then it was used for
manufacturing the soles of shoes. With good reason:
cork combines the highest requirements for elasticity,
cushioning and insulation in a natural raw material.
This makes it the perfect material for our FOOTPRINTS
footbeds.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
FOOTPRINTS shoes are not disposable products. All our
shoes are processed and manufactured to be long-lasting,
repairable and provide customer satisfaction over many
years.
For this reason, our customer service is available for you
during the entire lifetime of your shoe and beyond. This
starts with our delivery service and includes replacement
of footbeds and professional repairs.
FOOTBED
The FOOTPRINTS footbed is based on the natural footprint
of a human being and the resultant anatomic shape ensures
optimal distribution of pressure from the middle of the foot
to the front. The footbed aligned so that the body load is
always distributed across the entire area of the foot when
walking, standing or running. For our FOOTPRINTS footbed
we use only organic materials like jute, natural latex and
cork to guarantee the best possible transfer of moisture. For
a healthy foot climate and a high level of wearing comfort.
All FOOTPRINTS footbeds can be removed for airing or
washing (at 30° C) and replacements can be ordered for all
models.
HAND-SEWN
Our FOOTPRINTS Originals are hand-sewn and manufactured
in the best shoemaker tradition.
This means the upper and sole are sewn together by hand
in a precise and intricate process. This is workmanship that
requires particular dexterity and an experienced eye. Unlike
machine-sewn shoes, every FOOTPRINTS Original is a genuinely
unique item characterised by outstanding durability, a
perfect fit and maximum wearing comfort.
