About Us
You’ve tried comfort. Now try ARCO!
We are a new footwear brand that will help you walk better, feel better. Engineered and designed by A’RCOPEDICO, leveraging its 60 years of expertise, we are here to prove that comfort and performance can walk side by side. At ARCO, we believe incredible things happen when you start moving better.
We are not here for those who ask for permission, but for those who go. It all started in Portugal, with the idea that progress lies in technological innovation. Build a simple sneaker wasn’t enough, so we went further. We created a technology that from neck to knees, step by step will help walk better.
ARCO
Different by technology
Walking should take you further, so our sneakers were engineered to increase walking performance by over 110%.
Innovation takes time, so we continue the 60 years’ legacy of A’RCOPEDICO built on science not trends.
Not every foot is the same so we adapt to up to 90% of global foot shapes. Better movement stars with the right shape.
Developed with insights from the Star Shoes Project, our sneakers were built on real biomechanical research to improve how you walk.
Star Shoes Project
STAR SHOES was a bold global project aimed to study the human foot at a worldwide scale. In collaboration with INEGI – Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (University of Porto), ARCOPEDICO analyzed over 2.500 footwear consumers, creating the world’s largest footprint database. The findings were unanimous: shoes with customized insoles reduce maximum pressure values and promote a more even pressure distribution.
Engineered and designed by A’RCOPEDICO
We were born from A’RCOPEDICO expertise, a Portuguese footwear brand that since 1966 is transforming the industry of comfort footwear.
