Individual material

DIVO Sole

DA.MA. & CO.'s ultralight EVA sneaker sole is cushioned, flexible, and quietly designed to be non-slip. It is engineered to all but disappear underfoot.

Made by
DA.MA. & CO.

What it is

The DIVO is DA.MA. & CO.'s light EVA sole, moulded under the WEARLIGHT® brand in Montegranaro from a proprietary ethylene-vinyl acetate compound the company has spent decades researching. In its classic form, it is a clean white sneaker sole; simple, elegant, and sporty. It is exceptionally light and smooth underfoot while keeping a genuine, non-slip grip.

EVA's appeal is the lack of weight: it cushions and flexes like few other sole materials while adding almost nothing to the shoe. DA.MA. combines its EVA with rubber engagements where extra grip and durability are needed, so the DIVO stays light without feeling flimsy. It is sustainably carcinogen-free and fully recyclable, and has been granted dozens of design and 5 technical patents.

Why we chose it

Most of a sneaker's weight is carried in the sole, so an ultralight EVA unit from a patent-holding Marche specialist keeps light footwear genuinely light without giving up grip, comfort, or durability. The DIVO provides a soft, springy, and near-weightless wear.
