A brand launched by MEPHISTO in 1998, it places particular emphasis within the brand family on fit and comfort for the feet. Its official history describes padding placed between the lining and leather, a membrane that regulates foot temperature, removable anatomical insoles, and a design with extra width. Unlike Allrounder, which foregrounds functionality for outdoor activities, and SANO, which is characterized by sole designs that encourage natural foot movement, this line centers on a design that envelops and supports the entire foot.
