The copacabana is an espadrille inspired shoe that uses no leather. It is very lightweight and breathable. The washed canvas upper material and signature ratan trim around the sole give this shoe it's attitude. The light construction upper and mesh lining will keep your feet feeling cool all summer. An elastic trim at entry ensures a snug fit and easy on/off. The main advantage of the Geox copacabana is that it has a sturdy cushioned leather insole and a sturdy rubber outsole with grip for better overall well being. The classic Geox rubber sole is based on an exclusive patent: the combination of the perforated sole and the resistant breathable and waterproof membrane allow for natural temperature regulation, thereby creating the perfect microclimate inside the shoe that keeps feet dry and comfortable the whole day. Born in the early 90s from the inventive Mario Moretti Polegato, Geox has grown in Europe at an amazing rate with its clever solution to a widespread problem- sweaty feet. Geox proudly creates a rubber-soled shoe that allows the foot to breathe. Their shoes are directed to health-conscious consumers, the innovative perforated rubber sole allows the foot to breathe while shielding it from outside moisture.
