Quality assurance of professional footwear, awarded by SPODOS
Foot Science Center

The VHQ label - Very High Quality - corresponds to a quality assurance of professional footwear, awarded by SPODOS, Foot Science Centre.

This podiatry study centre assesses the suitability of professional footwear for biomechanics, both in the structural aspects and the materials involved.

The quality of the professional footwear and its comfort indexes are evaluated according to parameters such as internal temperature, adequate weight, flexibility, ability to reduce plantar pressure and shock absorption, stability, as well as the materials involved, for the main work environments for which it is intended.

The attribution of this seal to a professional footwear model represents an additional guarantee for the consumer.

For the safety and protection indices, intrinsic to this type of footwear and perfectly regulated by specific legislation and standards, this seal adds a certificate of compliance to professional footwear with the proper maintenance of foot health in the workplace.

Our Guidelines:

Comfort

Who says safety can't yield to comfort? Professional footwear has been revolutionized and it is increasingly common to find professional footwear with high levels of safety, but also trendy and comfortable, which adapt to the foot naturally.

Breathability

The high frequency of use of professional footwear requires optimized breathability to ensure user welfare.

Temperature

Professional footwear should promote stability of foot temperature, reduction of moisture inside the foot, odour management and consequently better physical performance for user comfort and satisfaction over a longer period.

Material Selection

The choice of materials (and production procedures) is crucial for defining the design, the structural component of the footwear, its strength, but also its suitability for the intended preferred professions. As this compliance is crucial for foot health, it is also subject to verification.
