We pair footwear with technology. We pair sustainability with comfort.
Join us on our walk to a more sustainable future.
100% SUSTAINABLE UPPER MATERIALS
We have refocused our ethos of care for the planet and our commitment to the environment.
Our language is one of comfort and in our footwear simplicity is key. No superfluous details, just the world’s most comfortable shoe, made with sustainable materials. Our sustainably-focussed range features a unique removable HYBRID-AIR INSOLE SYSTEM, an Antiviral sole, combined with the signature Twin Arch Support System and the Techno Elastic Upper.
TECHNO ELASTIC UPPER
Exclusive to the Arcopedico brand, the Techno Elastic Upper called Lytech is an environmentally friendly textile that is flexible, breathable and machine washable.
Lytech is an ultra-light blend of polyurethane and Lycra, allowing incredible softness and moulds to the wearer's foot instantly, making it ideal for those with bunions or other foot conditions.
Lytech is BioCalce Certified, meaning its eco-friendly, vegan, water-resistant, biodegradable and uses minimal toxic materials in the manufacturing process.
TWIN ARCH SUPPORT SYSTEM
These two lengthways structures provide essential support to your arches, aiding in maintaining correct alignment down the spinal column and evenly distributing bodyweight across the entire plantar surface.
Wearing shoes with adequate arch support helps to improve the wearer’s posture, gait and alignment, while also helping to reduce symptoms of plantar fasciitis, foot fatigue and back pain.
HYBRID-AIR INSOLE SYSTEM
The recycled material removable insole combines a moisture absorption and dissolution system to regenerate airflow and balance the temperature inside the footwear.
This helps to reduce odour and improve overall foot health.
LEATHER WORKING GROUP
We are committed to supporting responsible leather manufacturing processes across the globe, and are proudly aligned with the Leather Working Group (LWG).
LWG supports and encourages the use of responsibly made leather as a sustainable material by inspiring, educating and challenging those that produce and use leather. Through collaboration, convening, and standard setting, we are collectively creating a transparent leather value chain that achieves positive impacts.
LIGHTWEIGHT & ANTIVIRAL SOLE
Prevents the spread of virus particles, protecting the health and wellbeing of all.
Arcopedico’s ultra-light, ergonomic PU sole is made up of tiny air bubbles that help to absorb impact while you walk.
Wearing shoes with built-in shock absorption is important in helping to protect your ankles, joints and vertebrae from excessive impact, and helps to reduce foot fatigue.
PU soles are durable and the grip patterning on the outsole helps to provide traction on varied terrains.
MACHINE WASHABLE
Our Lytech shoes are machine washable making them a great choice if you’re on the go or travelling.
How to wash your favourite Arcopedico shoes:
- Remove the insoles
- Set your washing machine to a gentle cycle, no more than 30 degrees Celsius.
- Place the shoes in a garment bag and into your machine. (We even sell Arcopedico wash bags!)
- Once the cycle is finish, air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Do not tumble dry.
