FIFTH ESSENCE OF NATURE
Natural latex soles, obtained from sap or Hevea milk, are 100% vegetable and biodegradable.Its unique alveolar microstructure, made up of small air bubbles, provides an incomparable comfort, lightness, elasticity and flexibility, although its exceptional results are supported by scientific studies.The proof of its authenticity is its slight visual imperfections. Each batch can slightly vary in colour, because a natural and living raw material is being used. In recognition of their excellence, their respect for craftsmanship and as a guarantee of quality, the EPV label was awarded.

HARVEST
Hevea trees are grown in the large tropical plantations of Asia. They are ecological and sustainable forests that constantly renew themselves.Hevea milk is collected by hand through spiral incisions on the bark of the tree, far from weakening it, these contribute to its flowering.After 25 years of harvest, Hevea trees are replaced by young trees.

OUTSOLE MOLDING
The refinement of the Hevea milk is a unique two-week artisan process that requires more than 50 manual operations of extreme thoroughness.Milk is poured by hand into steel molds that stand on a warm water bath.

OUTSOLE FINISH
After an hour, the sole is removed from the mold and placed in a cold water bath for a day, keeping the alveolar structure open while the material cures. Afterwards, they get in hot air dryer, and a day later they are left in cold water, for one more day.Finally, they follow a long drying phase for a full week, until they are finished and inspected.
