According to IPR, the sole is the basis of the aesthetic and technical development of a shoe. The protagonist at Lineapelle is research focused on design, materials and attention to the environment
Even in a particularly upsetting market moment, at the latest edition of Lineapelle IPR’s ability to open new horizons was well expressed in all the items presented and were met with interest. From polyurethane to rubber or TR/TPU-thermoplastic soles designed for every type of shoe, the new SS 2025 collection entirely made in Italy is all about stylistic research and innovation of shapes according to the latest trends, focusing, as always, on the development of the overall technology of the product to unceasingly improve its performance, comfort and ergonomics. “For the next summer, natural colors will dominate – says sales director Ruggero Ruggeri at the fair – raffia and straw meant for coverings, bandages, inserts and details will prevail. We are also experimenting pad printing with a wood or cork effect.”
Always one step ahead in respecting the environment, the Marche-based sole factory produces “according to nature” rubber soles with 30% certified recycled material. “New for this edition is the colored recycled rubber – continues Ruggeri -. No longer just black and white, therefore, but a whole range of colors available for different aesthetic needs. The only limit for now are super-bright colors and transparent nunces.”
What makes this sole factory truly unique is its dedication to customer requests: “We support the client step by step with a sartorial vocation in the search for the most suitable product, aware that a good shoe comes from the design of the sole.”
Soles designed for different types of footwear: their quality stands out in the individual details and in the workmanship creativity
