Most important characteristics

For the manufacture of all our footwear, top quality bovine leather is used, a natural and sustainable material, characterized by a thickness of between 2.6 and 3 millimeters, which gives great robustness to our footwear and protects the foot. In addition, the leather has two properties that contribute to the comfort and well-being of our footwear, since it is breathable and extremely soft.

The leather is presented in two possible finishes, flower or nobuck, the latter being a velvety touch. In both cases, being a totally natural material, it is possible that small imperfections or irregularities can be appreciated.

Every sole we use is made out of natural rubber. Rubber is a material that comes from latex, and this one, at the same time, comes from different types of plants, specially the Euphorbiaceae tree.
Natural rubbers main features are: elasticity, water repellency and thermal isolation. All these characteristics are really important when it comes to soles and we take care of them all to offer the highest quality shoes.

Our anatomic footbed is the key to all Dippner shoes and it has been the result of many studies and researches. It is made of natural materials, all of them coming from sustainable resources.

These are the following:
– A core made of cork and latex that provides the footbed with flexibility, cushioning and thermic insulation.

– Natural leather on the top to make our footbed breathable, soft and velvet-like for our feet.

The footbed design has been thought and studied carefully to adapt it perfectly to the foot anatomy. It enables our feet to move naturally while walking and, at the same time, our body weight is distributed properly along the footbed. This is absolutely important to protect our joints, ligaments, tendons and our back.

This particular design makes Dippner shoes really comfortable:
The front footbed edge protects our toes in their natural movement while walking.
The raise indentations near the toes makes them stay in their natural position.
The arch support contributes to the correct distribution of the body weight and offers support for the foot´s central bones.
The deep heel cup holds the heel bone in its natural position.

All these characteristics make our footbed the key to achieve the incomparable comfort of Dippner shoes.

None of the products utilized to produce our shoes have pentachlorophenol, chrome VI, nickel or azo dye that contain amines considered dangerous for our heath and main factor of allergic reaction.
