ICOPCV certifies SOFT by Garvalín with the Podologic certificate.

Grupo Garvalín and the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Podología de la Comunidad Valenciana (ICOPCV) met to formalise a collaboration agreement whose objective is to promote foot health care.

Research and innovation is in its DNA and is what has made it a market leader. The company continuously invests in innovation and research together with the prestigious IBV (Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia) and with different experts in child development such as paediatricians, traumatologists and podiatrists when designing and developing its collections for its children’s footwear brands Biomecanics and Garvalín.

Among its innovations is their new line SOFT by Garvalín with the Podologic certificate, which guarantees that the shoes comply with the recommendations of podiatrists for the wellbeing of children’s feet.

This innovative SOFT line has been included in Garvalín’s Spring Summer 2024 collection. It is a line that respects children’s feet, with fun, fresh and highly flexible designs. Its very soft materials are breathable and free of toxins, a very important point to avoid excessive sweating and possible irritations or allergies in children’s sensitive skins.
