The hevea tree is cultivated in the large tropical plantations of Asia. Hevea milk is harvested by making narrow incisions on the tree’s bark. The milk would eventually pour out of these. Once harvested, this pure virgin milk is refined to create a unique sole filled with tiny air bubbles that offer exceptional levels of comfort. The process used to make the LACTAE HEVEA® sole is unique, It is in fact very similar to the production of cheese: The milk is poured into the moulds, thickened, baked and cured. It is characterised by its comfort and cushioning and features a rubber heel which makes the shoes less flat than the aspen option.
