Technology

SKANDIA LAST SYSTEM

SKANDIA LAST SYSTEM (SLS)

Every use, every ground, every performance needs a special shape. The creation of every Skandia shoe is starting from an analysis of the specific use and of the ground the shoe is meant for, in order to determine the dimensions and structure and obtain the ideal match between comfort and performance. The shapes of Skandia winter shoes are studied to allow the insertion of additional layers of thermal insulation that will guarantee a high comfort during the cold season and meet every special need required by the anatomical shape of the foot with special solutions for every group of age.

SKANDIA FRAME

SKANDIA FRAME (SF)

All the materials and accessories used in the production of Skandia shoes are meeting the most strict environmental regulations and are tested by authorized institutes. The high tear strength and breaking load of the materials being used increases the quality and duration of Skandia footwear. The high resistance to bending gives the shoe upper an extreme lightness, assuring the maximum level of comfort. In order to guarantee comfort and safety in all conditions, Skandia shoes are being tested in laboratory and on the ground with simulations, resistance and waterproof tests. In particular, to verify waterproofness and thermal insulation, Skandia is using a mobile mechanical foot which simulates the walkhalf immersed in water or with temperatures down to 25° C -30° C.

SKANDIA CLIMATIC COMFORT

SKANDIA CLIMATIC COMFORT (SCC)

By collecting accurate information about the specific use and the type of ground where the shoes will be used, Skandia is able to define the precise technical features of every shoe. This is necessary in order to guarantee the best possible climatic comfort in terms of total waterproofness (without any compromise) and transpiration. Skandia’s technical production procedures will guaranteea total waterproofness by using water-resistant materials and the Skandiatex waterproof membrane with heat-sealed joints. The collection of Skandia winter shoes has been developed also to give a very good protection under cold conditions and for outdoor winter activities, thanks to the correct balance between transpiring material and warm lining.

SKANDIA OUTSOLE SYSTEM

SKANDIA OUTSOLE SYSTEM (SOS)

The materials Skandia is using for the soles are determined by environmental conditions and the study of the types of grounds. The result of every project is a mix of design, manufacturing techniques and research to find the best materials for the components of the sole. The achievement of a top level use resistance balanced with an excellent slipping resistance allows on one side a matchless comfort and, on the other, a high level of grip and safety in every weather condition. The several air cells which are trapped in the molecular structure of the materials composing the sole, createan air cushion between foot and ground that improves the thermal insulation increasing the shock absorber effect of the heel.

SKANDIA WINTER FOOTBED

SKANDIA WINTER FOOTBED (SWF)

Skandia’s insole is a triple-layer isolation that can be compared to a dehumidifier. The first layer in Polipropylene absorbs humidity. The reflective film releases warmth towards the foot. The woolen felt, through microscopic holes absorbs and extracts humidity from Polipropylene, allowing the foot to breath in a warm environment.

SKANDIA WITH

BASF’s Elastopan® Cold Resistance

An innovative multi-component polyurethane has been introduced in our products: BASF’s Elastopan® Cold Resistance, a high performance material, which combines a special flexural performance at extremely low temperatures (up to -30°C / -22°F) with a very high slip resistance on wet and icy surfaces, low abrasion and good shock absorption.
