There's a more regular version too, front decorated with a flat bow, open toes and unambiguous solid colour: chalk white, like houses facing the sea.

Sandals again, but this time with flat soles and slave straps at toe and ankle. Printed leather in milk white and coffee. Every woman's must-have: a pair of ballerina slippers. Light as air in an infinite choice of fascinating models.

A striking selection of fabrics, decorations and details combines to create optical illusions in a play of black and white lights.

Traditional, superbly elegant moccasins, with increasingly inventive finishing touches: fringes, buckles, rings and buttons. In magnolia and sand leathers, soft and light to jealously caress and cradle the feet.

Finally the trainers, ever more advanced, “aerodynamic” shapes, mixed fabrics, natural colours with an extra spark of lustrous pearl or pastel-coloured inserts. They'll take you anywhere.

Geox Man:
An ideal husband is the tongue in cheek inspiration for the Geox SS 08 collections. Decisive, charismatic, a careful dresser who manages not to be vain, a man who loves the detail and that occasional hint of casualness and playful humour that make for an attractive look.

For this modern man, moccasins are a fashion choice, but also a personal “must”. This symbol of practical elegance is available in a wide range of styles: from ultra classic, in traditional black and leather hues, to those in the very latest shapes and colours: unusual toes, tapering or upturned, wide or narrow tongues, buckles, crocodile or aged effects and “masculine” colours such as tobacco, cognac, dark grey... but also shades of orange, peach and lemon.

Classic lace-ups are equally suitable for more formal occasions, whether for work or pleasure: unsurpassed elegance springs to life in smooth or perforated leather, with strong, square toes.

For a more easy-going look, Geox has chosen trainers for everyday wear. Clean lines, brilliant white with chocolate patches, but also with the succulent colours of tropical fruit. Hi-tech materials, lightweight, ideal for long days in the office or out-of-town trips.

Informal without overdoing it, the casual shoes are great for the hustle and bustle of everyday life: well-defined lines, a mixture of hi-tech materials and smooth or wrinkled calf, natural colours with the emphasis on shades of beige, hay and cream.

Lastly, sandals. The latest, really cool thongs in leather or soft, elegant materials and neutral shades of sun-warmed sand and pebbles that conjure up dreams of the sea.

Geox Kids:
A blaze of colour and imagination: Geox takes a look at the world through children's eyes for the SS 08 collections. Tiny shoes you can hold in the palm of your hand like exquisitely detailed miniature sculptures made from the finest materials.

With so many models to choose from, girls will adore the pretty ballerina slippers, sparkling with glitter and sequins, criss-crossed elastic, in gold, silver, sugar-paper blue: just like the fairytale princess of their dreams.

The brightly coloured sandals are appliquéd with flowers and strass. The shades are pistachio green, caramelised orange, and ruby.

There are child-size trainers too, with practical velcro fastening, just the thing for playing hide and seek, chasing around the fields, skipping... Pastels are way ahead: rose shading to fuchsia and powder pink, beige with hints of gold, and white with gleams of silver.

Geox has a world of colour for boys too: closed shoes with fascinating side stripes that look like national flags are made from a hardwearing mix of ultra-shiny or semi-gloss hi-tech materials to give a meshed finish.

No boy can do without sandals, open to varying degrees, with slashed sides, open heels or toes, crazy combinations of straps and spaces.

All in strident reds, shocking yellow, full-on orange, electric blue, but also available in more sober browns, charcoals and dove grey. All the Geox shoe collections have ultra-light waterproof and breathable rubber soles.

Geox S.p.A.
