Keep workers safe in the workplace with comfortable, high-quality protective shoe solutions
It's about reducing accidents and unnecessary medical bills.

In short words

GECKTOE GRIP

®is a pioneer and reliable leader in non-slip safety function.

For 20 years, we have successfully developed slip resistant shoes for “shoes for crews” in the United States.
With this background we plan to be a leader in R&D of innovation technology for the industry.

FUNCTIONALITY OF SLIP-RESISTANT SOLES

Shoes Wtih Excellent Grounding Grip Force Elastic Material For Shoe Soles

Outstanding slip-resistant perfomance even in special extemal environments to enhance salety.
Continuous maintenance of avrasion-resistant and slip-resistant function
Functionality to secure safety at all times due to immediale responses to urgent road - surface changes

Effects if Slip-Resistant Functionality

In nomal walking activity, Slip-resistant soles do nat interfere with walking function at all.
When applied to the sports requiring instant actions after abrupt stopping (e.g.. bedminton, table tennis, tennis, vasketball etc.), instant agility is displayed due to excellent grounding grip fprce.
In the case of the motions in golf, tennis etc, in which the rotational repulsive force of the upper body is required, the more frmly the lower body is fixed, the higher becomes the rotational repulsive force, that is, so-called spring release phenomenon, so superb grounding grip force is thereby transferred.

Improve blood circulation (I)

“An experiment to analyze the scientific effects of shoes
with vibration chips on exercise”described in the Korean
Journal of Wellness
(August 24,2012)

After 40 adult men and women performed walking exercises for 12 weeks, the results showed that the shoes with vibration chips
reduced peripheral blood circulation pro vlems by 14.8% and blood pressure 9.4% ab tge average compared to ordinart walking shoes.

Improve blood circulation (II)

Increased shock absorption

Experimental results by Age-Friendly Industry Support Center Experiment

( Septemver 10 - September 13,2010 )

A three-day experiment conducted by AISC on the elderly showed that the shock absorption rate of shoes with vibration chips was
8% higher than the case of ordinary walking shoes.

Improve balance and gait

Balance-Restoring Insoles, a research by Wyss Institute, Harvard University.

( October 28,2014 )

Using the principle of stochastic resonance, vibrating insoles designed at the wyss Institute use small piezoelectric actuators to deliver imperceptible mechanical vibrations to feet, enhancing detection if nerve signals. Insoles similar to these have been shown to reduce walking variability and improve balance in the elderly.
