Company Profile
The record below - the breathability mission, the name's derivation, the three strong points of Italian style, know-how transfer and a world sales network, and the 2004 listing - is kept in full on the history page. Current collections and technology explanations are on Geox's own site, linked above; the shop box covers Geox products sold through Amazon and eBay.
Even the name is an explanation. Geox comes from the Greek word geo - Earth, on which we all walk - joined with the letter x, which stands for the technology element. The origin of the name, historical descriptions say, speaks of a company born out of a revolutionary idea which has made comfort, well-being and health its corporate bastions. That is a health claim framed as a design brief: feet that can breathe are more comfortable, and comfort carried all day is a form of well-being. Few profiles in this directory derive their brand name inside the text; this one does, and the derivation is kept here word for word in substance.
