The company Fadel, a world-famous Italian shoe manufacturer, together with the Italian Institute of Technology and with the support of The Foundation of the Italian Institute of Technology has developed a unique technology that allows the production of shoes with the function of thermoregulation . As it is told on the company's website, two patents were obtained in 18 months of work that completed the long path of research that the company embarked on 40 years ago. The first is on a membrane fabric with the addition of graphene, which allows to ensure the correct thermal balance inside the shoe. The second is for a special kind of grooves in the material for a more functional thermal dispersion.

Combining both of these developments, the company created a new technology called GET ®, which stands for Grafene Extra Termal. Using this innovation, Fadel began the production of shoes that, without prejudice to the unchanging style and high-class design characteristic of products labeled Made in Italy, will be comfortable for feet in hot weather. By adding quite a few graphene flakes to the polyurethane of the soles, the company's specialists ensured that excess heat accumulated under the influence of high temperature was removed from the feet. In addition, even at low concentrations, graphene gives shoes greater stability, comfort and increases wear resistance. And the crystal hexagonal structure gives the sole greater impermeability, which increases its protective properties.

It was possible to see and try on this unique shoe for the first time at the exhibition MICAM in Milan in September of this year, where it was presented under the brand Freshoes.
