Lavoro stands out in the production of professional footwear that integrates the most modern technologies at the service of well-being and safety at work
The empirical knowledge of the foot, which allowed the production of wooden shapes, was replaced by digital biomechanics, which favours the production of professional footwear capable of promoting the health of the foot, but also protecting it from the risks associated with different work environments.
Innovation as a response to new challenges, regular commitment to quality and process certification, and adherence to state-of-the-art equipment and materials reflect the Lavoro’s restless and allow us to rank among the largest and most innovative European producers of professional footwear.
The result of this commitment is a production of professional footwear regarded as Very High Quality - an additional guarantee for the consumer - in areas such as the internal temperature of the footwear, adequate weight, flexibility, the ability to reduce plantar pressure and absorption of shocks, the design, stability, or the materials involved. Specific footwear for diabetics, innovative solutions for foot temperature management, anti-microbial, anti-static insoles and technical socks and moisturizing creams are just some of the latest innovations that complement ICC’s range.
Lavoro therefore regularly develops patented creations or exclusive systems, which gives its professional footwear unique characteristics:
CLIMA CORK SYSTEM (CCS) is an exclusive system, which allows to create a natural environment for the feet, both in the field of temperature and their accommodation in shoes. Through the inclusion of an insulating layer of cork between the sole and the insole, CLIMA CORK SYSTEM regulates the heat and cold inside the footwear and gives extra comfort. The cork allows the creation of a kind of "footprint", favours its adaptation to the shoe and contributes to the reduction of fatigue, by benefiting the uniform distribution of the weight.
RESPONSIVE SHOCK ABSORPTION (RSA) system revolutionizes shock absorption in the shoe. With an open and extra-damping impact zone, it makes footwear more comfortable and the act of walking more pleasant and easy. The standards applicable to this characteristic of safety footwear require a minimum value of 20 Joules. Our range satisfies an average value of 60 Joules, but the RSA reaches 120 Joules in absorption. It is a performance six times higher than the standards require...
CUP SOLE uses flat pythons (different from those in soccer, which need more adherence to the field), as a means of benefiting foot contact with the ground. As shoes must precisely protect the areas of hyperpressure, the CUP sole model is made up of a series of flat pythons, distributed in a way that respects the natural walk cycle. The CUP sole model guarantees high performances, confirmed, and approved in collaboration with UMANA, the Center for Biomechanical Analysis, based in Vigo.
FÉNIX BOOT is an innovation capable of saving lives: it helps to mitigate cases in which firefighters put their physical integrity at risk by using professional footwear that is appropriate according to the law, but inappropriate for the extreme real conditions they face. After several tests, Fénix showed high resistance to thermal impacts similar to those of forest fires (500 degrees Celsius) and good integrity conditions for its user, even higher than the standards that determine the requirements to be met by firefighter personal protective equipment. .
THOR boot presents high levels of resistance to mechanical impacts possible in forestry operations with motor brushcutters. If there are situations in which weeding has to be carried out with the aid of brushcutters, the use of personal protective equipment must also be a requirement, such as THOR boots, which, in addition to the toecap, have a unique internal protection system against cuts. and punctures, which can cause very serious injuries.
AUGMANITY is project that allows the production of a model of professional footwear that incorporates electronic components for monitoring plantar pressures, which favours the activation of arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation and the well-being of the end user. Made in partnership with BOSCH, the University of Aveiro and Centi, it also has a fall detection system associated with it.
LAVORO WOMAN reinvented professional footwear for women: elegant options, with greater stability and morphologically adjusted. With the increase in the number of women in technical professions, it has become clear that it is not enough to produce professional footwear in reduced sizes. With the contribution of Spodos, a Lavoro department specialized in podiatry and biomedicine, Lavoro sought to understand the differences in anatomy between female and male feet, as well as their influence on body posture.
LAVORO LEATHER program puts Lavoro at the forefront of the professional footwear industries that defend the return of leather. Healthy and without treatments with heavy metals or chromium, with traced production and 100% biodegradable, responsible leather can guarantee high quality, durable products and combat fast-fashion. Once the toxicity problems of leather have been overcome, imagination is the only limit to its use.
Healthcare and the physical skills of employees are increasingly structuring in the management of production/assembly lines in the most diverse industries. Therefore, in the short term it will not be surprising that professional footwear incorporates technological solutions that evaluate and care for the health and well-being of its users, especially those with identified pathologies. This is the area of activity of our SPODOS service, which assists in the design of professional footwear in light of the principles of biomedical engineering, as well as, in close partnership with Occupational Medicine, finding tailored solutions for misshapen feet.
