Our Research & Development Department has always been one of the key components in Stonefly's success, and every year the company invests in this department more than 5% of its total sales. In our Comfort Laboratory , we combine various skills and know-how to create avant-garde product with special features that favor the efficiency of the foot and that are, at the same time, in keeping with the most up-to-date trends in style with the expertise known as "Made-in-Italy ". Through lengthy research, Stonefly has identified the five most important factors in shoe comfort: thermo-regulation (the control of heat), hydro-regulation (the control of moisture inside the shoe, shock-absorption (which eliminates micro-trauma), anti-stress (which eliminates fatigue) and bio-equilibrium (which protects the foot's natural physiological balance). These are the fundamental parameters around which is bases the development of our companies projects. Each footwear model is made and tested through group sampling so as to monitor in use performance and the degree of reliability and effectiveness of the shoe's construction and of the materials utilized. This carefully managed process enables us to attain our objective of greatest possible comfort and optimum quality, an objective that is at the very basis of the Stonefly business philosophy. As a result of this research, the company has developed innovative ideas that revolutionize the concept of footwear for city use: Shockair ™, a system of active air exchange inside the shoe, which allows the foot to breathe freely under any conditions; footwear incorporating Gortex ©, a waterproof and breathable material, of which our company is one of the world's leading exponents; and Blusoft ™, an ingenious shock absorption system.
