AIR BUBBLE SOLES WITH PU TECHNOLOGY

Our amazing technology allows us to produce one of the lightest, most comfortable soles in the UK. When the sole is moulded, thousands of air bubbles are trapped within the cellular structure. The bubbles give plenty of cushioning when walking, so you literally feel as though you are walking on air!

In the 1970's DB Shoes were the first factory outside the Clarks group to be permitted to use polyurethane injection moulding technology, transforming production methods. We are now the longest established polyurethane injection moulding shoe factory in the world, exporting more than 25% of our production.
