About Me
Mario Moretti Polegato founded his comfort-focused shoe brand Geox in 1995 with his patented "breathable shoe technology." Polegato worked at his family's wine business where he got itchy feet, but it was a hot trip to Nevada that inspired him to slice holes in his shoes. He took his technology to Nike and other footwear giants, who were uninterested; he started his own company instead. He took Geox public in 2004 while also running the family wine label, Villa Sandi.
