Premium leather footwear brand Valentino has expanded its specially curated Police Footwear Collection to Jaipur, bringing its range of purpose-designed footwear for men and women in uniform to Rajasthan’s capital. The launch highlights a growing need to give greater attention to the comfort, fit and durability of shoes worn by police personnel through demanding and often extended duty hours.
Mr. Chander Daultani, Managing Director, Guru Shoes Tech Pvt. Ltd., the company behind Valentino, said, “Police personnel serve in demanding conditions and deserve footwear that takes their everyday requirements seriously. With our collection now being introduced in Rajasthan, we aim to make quality footwear more accessible while focusing on fit, durability, comfort and the professional standards required by the uniform. Akshay Kumar’s observations have also helped bring an important issue of everyday police welfare into public discussion.”
The Jaipur launch comes amid wider discussion about the physical demands placed on police personnel by conventional duty footwear. Actor and fitness enthusiast Akshay Kumar has drawn attention to the difficulty of running and walking for long periods in rigid shoes with pronounced heels, raising concerns about the possible strain associated with such footwear.
Valentino’s new collection responds to precisely this need, combining comfort, durability, grip and all-day performance with the professional appearance expected of uniformed personnel. Designed for long shifts and rigorous daily use, the collection is available for both men and women, in Police Tan and Black, and across all sizes. The complete Police Collection for men and women is available through www.valentinoindia.com, Amazon, Myntra and Nykaa Fashion, besides leading footwear stores across India. A dedicated range for female police officers, specially designed keeping footwear sizes and anatomy in mind.
Valentino’s Police Footwear Collection has been developed to address the practical requirements of uniformed services. Made from 100% genuine leather, the range combines durability and ease of maintenance with comfort, grip and a professional appearance.
Unsuitable footwear, particularly when combined with prolonged standing, repetitive walking and running, can contribute to discomfort and may aggravate certain foot and musculoskeletal problems, according to health experts.These can include heel pain, plantar fasciitis, corns and calluses, calf discomfort and fatigue. Prolonged standing is also a recognised risk factor for lower-limb venous problems, including varicose veins, although these conditions have multiple contributing causes.
The objective is therefore not simply to make police shoes lighter or change their appearance. Footwear needs to balance fit, support, sole construction, grip, durability and the demands of different assignments. A shoe suitable for one officer may not meet another’s needs, particularly when preferences for sole rigidity, weight and fit vary.
