Sneaknit, the unbeatable comfort of knitwear

Sneaknit uses advanced knitting technologies ensuring an eco-friendly approach. A key component of Sneaknit’s business model is in fact the use of recycled plastic yarns, which remove 5 to 15 plastic bottles from the environment for every pair of shoes produced. Great attention to the environment, therefore, but without ever forgetting the safety and comfort of users.
“Sneaknit uppers are designed to meet the strictest safety standards for each product category,” explain the Marche-based company, which was founded in 2019 and immediately became an important benchmark for the sector. The peculiarity of these products derives precisely from their construction using Knit technology. “Knit offers unbeatable comfort, enveloping the foot like a sock and adapting perfectly to natural movements, as well as the lightness and breathability that distinguishes it. This type of knitting not only reduces foot fatigue during long shifts, but also contributes to improved productivity and overall well-being for workers.”
The benefits of knit technology are so compelling that research continues unabated. “Recently,” Sneaknit reports, “we have developed new designs for S1 safety footwear, which include antistatic shoes with slip resistance on ceramic and steel surfaces. But also for the S2 category, which goes further, adding water absorption resistance. These features make our uppers an ideal choice to provide protection in a wide range of working environments, ensuring safety and comfort in every situation”.
Sustainability has always been at the core of Sneaknit’s philosophy. In fact, the uppers are made using Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified recycled yarns. This not only reduces environmental impact, but also helps reduce dependence on virgin resources. The use of recycled materials is a significant step towards a more sustainable and responsible footwear industry.
“We at Sneaknit are always working to develop projects to improve the safety of work footwear. The aim is to combine cutting-edge technology, innovative materials and ergonomic design to offer increasingly effective solutions to the needs of workers all over the world,” conclude the company.
