Geox

Brantano stocks Geox shoes, sandals, trainers and school shoes for men, women, boys and girls, built around Geox's Respira breathable sole technology and waterproof and water-resistant leather options, with free UK delivery on orders over £50. 

Geox built its entire reputation on a single idea: a shoe sole that lets air through without letting water in. That sounds small until you have worn a normal shoe on a warm day and felt exactly why it matters: hot, slightly damp feet by mid-afternoon are common enough that most people accept them, and Geox set out specifically to fix that. 

Our range spans the whole family, from everyday shoes and sandals to trainers and a dedicated school shoe range, so the Respira technology that started it all now shows up across almost everything the brand makes. It has become one of the more trusted names in footwear specifically because the comfort claim is backed by a genuine, patented mechanism rather than marketing language alone. 

What is Geox Respira technology?

Geox Respira is the brand's patented breathable sole technology, designed to let heat and moisture escape the shoe while keeping water out. 

It is the thread that runs through the whole range, from adult shoes to school shoes for children. The practical effect is straightforward: feet stay cooler and drier over the course of a day than they would in a standard sealed sole, which matters as much for a child in a classroom as it does for an adult on a commute. The mechanism itself relies on a specially engineered membrane within the sole, permeable enough to let vapour escape but tight enough to block liquid water, a genuine piece of footwear engineering rather than a simple perforation. 

What does Geox make for women and men? 

Everyday shoes, from classic loafers to modern oxfords, built with breathable leather and perforated soles for all-day freshness. Sandals for warmer weather use the same breathable sole principle in a lighter, more open design, and trainers bring the technology into a more casual, flexible silhouette. Materials lean towards quality leathers throughout, with waterproof and water-resistant options where the style calls for it. The range spans smart and casual equally, so it works as a genuine everyday brand rather than being suited to only one type of occasion, whether that is an office day or a weekend outdoors. 

What makes Geox school shoes different? 

Geox school shoes are built for growing feet, combining Respira breathable technology with durable, comfortable construction designed to last a school term. 

Breathability matters more for children than it might seem, since active school days in a classic leather shoe can otherwise mean genuinely uncomfortable, sweaty feet by afternoon. Geox's school shoe range is built to solve that specific problem while still meeting the durability and smart, uniform-friendly styling that a school shoe needs. Sizing generally runs from infant through to junior, covering the full span of primary school years, with styles for both boys and girls. 

Are Geox shoes waterproof? 

Some styles are waterproof or water-resistant, particularly boots and certain school shoe styles, while others prioritise breathability over full waterproofing, since the two properties involve a genuine design trade-off. Check the individual product listing for the specific rating on any style you are considering, especially if you need it for wet-weather use. 

How do Geox shoes compare to standard leather shoes? 

A standard leather shoe with a sealed sole keeps water out well but traps heat and moisture inside, which is comfortable for short periods but noticeably less so over a full day. Geox's Respira sole is designed to solve specifically that trade-off, letting the shoe breathe without giving up the structure and durability leather is known for. The difference is most noticeable on warmer days or during long periods of activity, a school day, a long shift, or a full day of travel, where a standard sealed sole would leave feet noticeably hotter by the afternoon. It is a genuinely different engineering approach rather than a marketing distinction. 

Is Geox worth the price compared to standard shoes? 

For anyone who has struggled with hot, uncomfortable feet in standard leather shoes, generally yes. The Respira technology is a real, patented system rather than a marketing label, and it solves a specific, common problem rather than adding a feature most people would not notice. For school shoes in particular, where a child wears the same pair for hours every day across a full term, the comfort difference tends to justify the brand over a cheaper alternative that does not address breathability at all. For occasional-wear adult shoes, the case is less clear-cut, and comes down more to personal preference and how much the breathability specifically matters to you day to day.
