SKYPRO aims to be the Number 1 company caring for crews worldwide: this is our Mission, this is our ultimate goal and this is why we get up in the morning – and tend to leave late at night!
In order to accurately care for crews, some steps need to be taken when conducting all our Research and Development; that is why we examine crews’ daily routine and try to understand where we can potentially help them feel safer, healthier, more comfortable and ultimately better cared for.
Eventually we presented ProHealth Technology, which consists of 6 key components that should not be overlooked when purchasing shoes for an airline:
- Anti-Skid;
- Alarm-Free;
- Ambicork;
- Anti-Static;
- Innocuous Leathers;
- Absolute Comfort.
Today I shall address the Alarm-Free component: as you can probably guess this is very important for a frequent traveller and paramount for cabin crew and pilots.
How have we managed to accomplish this in our shoes? Not an easy challenge! All heeled shoes have something between the outsole and the insole and its purpose is to hold the heel: it is called a shank. Traditionally, the shank is metallic and the main responsible for beeping on airports. This was one of the first big tests to our R&D Department because we had to try many components and eventually achieve a IATA-certified product. We had to come up with something that would be airport-friendly and that would be very durable, very resistant and very light – and we came up with a composite material that checks all the boxes.
Shoes are one of the most important uniform items for airline professionals: our whole weight is put into them and the more technology we are able to equip them with, the better – especially one that is so handy!
SKYPRO is focused and passionate about helping airline professionals to better perform at their jobs – in a world where air traffic keeps rising and demand for cabin crew and pilots never ceases, there are not that many companies that worry and develop the right tools for these unsung heroes.
In short: no “beep-beep” with SKYPRO shoes!
