The Garvalín Group and the Illustrious Official College of Podiatry of the Valencian Community (ICOPCV) have met to formalise a collaboration agreement aimed at promoting foot health care.
What is the Garvalín Group?
Garvalín Group has been an expert in the manufacture of children’s footwear for over 55 years and has always been committed to the care and health of children’s feet. Research and innovation are in its DNA and have made it a market leader. The brand continuously invests in innovation and research alongside the prestigious IBV (Biomechanics Institute of Valencia) and various experts in child development such as paediatricians, orthopaedic surgeons, and podiatrists when designing and developing its collections for its children’s footwear brands Biomecanics and Garvalín.
Discover the SOFT by Garvalín collection with Podologic seal
Among its innovations is its new SOFT line by Garvalín with the Podologic certificate, which guarantees that the shoes meet podiatrists’ recommendations for the well-being of little ones’ feet.
This innovative SOFT line has been included in Garvalín’s Spring Summer 2024 collection. It is a line that respects children’s feet, featuring fun, fresh, and highly flexible designs. Its very soft materials are breathable and free from toxins, which is very important to prevent excessive sweating and possible irritations or allergies in the sensitive skin of little ones.
The statements of the agreement
Both parties are very satisfied with the certification of SOFT by Garvalín with the Podologic certificate.
“Through the Podologic certificate, our professional collective has aimed to create a seal that certifies that footwear has been manufactured according to quality and comfort standards that are focused on respecting and protecting foot health, following some recommendations established by podiatrists,” stated Pilar Nieto, president of the ICOPCV.
For his part, Joaquín García, CEO of Garvalín, added that “this agreement is another step for our Group to work alongside foot professionals to promote and disseminate valuable information from our research and innovations for the care and health of children’s feet.”
“This agreement with Garvalín for the implementation of Podologic standards is an important demonstration of how the Elche footwear industry is committed to foot health, which is of great value to the sector and society in general,” declared María Lozano De la Hoz, vice president of the ICOPCV.
