Here you will find answers to the most common questions. If you need more information, we are happy to
assist you.
Where do research, development, and production take place?
The development of ARTRA® footwear is carried out by the specialized ARTRA LAB 100™ team – an
environment where technology, biomechanics, and European craftsmanship meet. Our production
facility, warehouse, and administration are located in Partizánske, Slovakia. The entire process
is under our control in one place.
What is the origin of the materials?
We use only materials sourced from suppliers within the European Union. For key components, we
actively participate in their development to meet our requirements for lightness, breathability,
and long-term comfort. Every material undergoes thorough testing in ARTRA LAB 100™.
What is the ARELAX® shoe construction?
The ARELAX® shoe construction provides natural space for the feet and a light, fluid step
throughout the day. More room for all toes. Less pressure. Less fatigue. YUM™ technologies cushion
each landing, return energy with every push-off, and, together with breathable materials, keep the
feet light and fresh from morning to evening.
Is ARTRA® suitable for all-day wear?
Yes. ARTRA® is designed for people who spend most of the day on their feet and need a feeling of
lightness even after long hours. The ARELAX® shoe construction and YUM™ technologies help maintain
natural comfort throughout the entire day.
Why is ARTRA® more expensive?
Every pair of ARTRA® footwear is created in a unified process that we fully control – from the
first sketch to the final packaging. We develop and manufacture in Slovakia and use exclusively
European Union materials selected according to strict requirements for lightness, breathability,
and long-term comfort. This approach requires higher investment, but it is the only way to
maintain the long-term quality and comfort that define the ARTRA® brand.
