In 2001 Benedetto Battaglini had the idea of exploiting the shape of the heel to lock it without the need for straps and made a prototype of summer sandal with the back of the foot free. In the following years unfortunately his project does not find interest in the most important companies in the sector, so in 2015, after numerous attempts and supported by his son Federico, he decides not to give up and to produce his own sandals. After 2 years of design and study, thanks also to the collaboration with the Maresca factory, finally in 2017 the first one-piece rubber sandal (patented) that retains the heel without the use of bands or straps sees the light. 
In the same year, father and son founded Blipers Srl, the owner of the patents and trademark Blipers, in the meantime registered in Italy and in many other countries. In 2020, Blipers also launched the flip-flop model, with the same heel-locking feature. So today there are 2 models of Blipers, strictly made in Italy (the Maresca factory, in the province of Mantova, for 50 years produces rubber and pvc footwear), the sandal and flip-flops, unisex from number 29 to 46, made of soft thermoplastic rubber, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, PVC and phthalate free, 100% recyclable. The soles and insoles of both models are made with non-slip texture. 
Thanks to the band that embraces the heel softly from behind and their revolutionary ergonomics the Blipers can be worn in a moment standing and no longer escape, can be used at the sea, in the pool, in the gym, for walking and cycling, they are suitable for driving the car as they block the heel avoiding dangerous accidents, they float in the sea, they are very light, available in many fun colors, machine washable  and recyclable at 100%. Wearing them you have the feeling of walking barefoot, with lightness and especially avoid that annoying slippery, typical of all slippers and flip-flops. The goal has always been to create a product to revolutionize the world of footwear, combining design, comfort, innovation, fashion and sustainability. Blipers are for sale in numerous stores in Italy and Europe (easily found in the store locator), as well as direct-to-consumer sales through our online shop blipers.it. There is great news for the 2023 season! We bring you two new collections ready and waiting for you for the summer. These are the Fluo color collection, in the three variants fluo yellow, fluo green and fluo pink (designed for those who do not want to go unnoticed) and the new Kids collection, which best represents the usefulness and comfort of the Blipers patent, allowing the little ones to wear the footwear independently, with a simple movement of the foot, and ensuring maximum stability and safety in any movement!
