We have introduced a number of production changes to all of our A.S.98 items, to make our products even more environmentally sustainable.
NICKEL-TESTED ACCESSORIES
The accessories of our products respect the restrictions defined by Regulation 1907/2006 REACH, the law that specifies the limits for products destined to make direct and protracted contact with the skin.
Water-based glues
ECHO PU 290 FAST is the adhesive used in assembling a sole. It is a monocomponent polyurethane adhesive with a fast water-based action, without the need for any additional polyisocyanate hardeners.

vegetable tanning
The leathers are vegetable-tanned (a characteristic feature of A.S.98 items) with unique qualities. Vegetable tanning employs tanning extracts from ethical sustainability practices for forests. Thanks to the recovery of water from lime-soaking drums, and its subsequent re-use, there is a notable reduction in water consumption. The leather production is “100% made-in-Italy” pursuant to law UNI EN 16484.
