Introduction FW

Innovative magnet-mechanical closures that redefine how shoes are fastened – intuitive, fast and design-driven

In the footwear and fashion industries, creativity and bold design play a crucial role. This directly influences the requirements for the right components, including fasteners and buckles.
With magnet fasteners specially developed by FIDLOCK, shoes can be opened one-handed and in a controlled manner – a clear advantage in everyday use, sports applications and professional environments. The magnet-mechanical fasteners are robust, durable and suitable for a wide range of footwear concepts, from performance and outdoor shoes to functional lifestyle designs.
For greater comfort, safety, a design upgrade and a noticeably improved user experience – with every step.

Intuitive closing through magnetic guidance

The magnets automatically guide the components into the correct position, allowing the fastener to close almost by itself.

Secure mechanical locking

A robust mechanical lock ensures a strong and reliable hold during movement and daily use.

Maximum design freedom

The compact technology can be integrated in many ways, giving designers greater flexibility in both aesthetics and functionality.

Fast operation – even with limited dexterity

The fastener can be opened and closed quickly with one hand, making it especially practical when speed or ease of use matters.
 

FIDLOCK footwear fasteners combine magnetic guidance with mechanical locking – enabling effortless handling, reliable performance and new freedom in shoe design.

Endless possibilities for shoe design – be it extravagant or discreet

Footwear and fashion designers prove on a daily base that their products are more than essentials, limited to functionality. We constantly need shoes and clothes – so why not make them something you love to wear? To a canvas that represents our inner colours? We set no boundaries for the creativity of product designers, ranging from cool sneakers to elegant footwear!

We offer options that blend in almost invisibly into your shoe. On the other hand, many of our magnetic fasteners, e.g. the V-BUCKLE, can represent an eyecatcher on extravagant and modern designs. On top of that, you can individually adapt our magnetic fasteners. Options range from branding with your logo to individual colours and designs to match the overall picture and colourway of your products – visit our customization page for more info!

WINCH. No limits. Only possibilities.

WINCH – diverse applications in all areas

Of course, fasteners that were initially coming from an idea to revolutionize footwear fastening are ideal for the application on products of other industries. Prime examples are our WINCH fasteners, based on a new FIDLOCK technology which adds the functionality of a ratchet to the unique FIDLOCK concept. You can find more information about the applications and possibilities on our page dedicated to the WINCH momentum and WINCH elegance.
