The materials used in the manufacture of footwear: LEATHER:

This is the most widely used natural material, ideal for the production of shoes. Leather is breathable, soft, highly absorbent and adjusts to the shape of the foot. We distinguish between several types of skin.

It has a slightly structured surface with small depressions, may be dull or glossy.

It is characterized by very smooth and gloss surface. The surface is susceptible to mechanical damage and the influence of other unfavorable factors, such as frost or moisture.

This leather-like touch peach. Under the category creates a "przecierający a" nubuck. This is a skin, which are fingerprints or objects, even after gentle touch. These can be removed by wiping or brushing the surface.

This is a special variety of suede. It is less susceptible to damage than nubuck. The skin primer used for the production of soles for footwear evening. Is very sensitive to moisture and uneven surface.

The skin is a stratified upper layer of skin which is a surface such as polyurethane. Through it reaches the skin for greater durability and easier to maintain. Usually is used for making footwear.

Other materials:

PVC, PU, rubber, plastic and artificial leather are the materials that look like natural skin, but their properties such as permeability, absorption, adaptation to the foot are not as good as in the case of genuine leather. They offer new possibilities for in choosing colors and creating different designs. Their advantage is undoubtedly low price. Woven, nonwoven - are used to produce a lighter shoe. The most popular material is a stretch textile, which delivers exceptional comfort. This material is breathable, yet is sufficiently durable and resistant.

skin that are similar in appearance and physical properties to natural leather. Their care and maintenance is very simple.

have similar properties as plastics, are used for special footwear.

Used primarily for sports footwear, the possibilities are limitless in the dyeing and creating patterns.

Special material, which provides water resistance and breathability at the same time (eg, GORE-TEX). Used primarily for footwear and sports tourism.

Soles:

Soles should protect the foot from cold, heat, uneven terrain, sharp objects, etc. Its typical feature is the change in color (darker), especially after prolonged sunlight. Used for dance shoes, managerial. For everyday wear long repair is needed.

It is flexible, suitable for any weather, easy to clean.

It is also flexible and easy to clean, moderately resistant to wear, glides over rough terrain.

Method of production:

The way in which the underside of the shoe is connected to the upper, has a significant impact on the functionality and properties of footwear. The most commonly used technology. The bottom of the shoe is glued to the top. On the stability of this combination can affect wetting, sweating feet, or careless gait. Shoes made in this way is very convenient, lightweight, resilient and flexible. Flex shoe is determined that the shoe upper is sewn directly to the bottom of the shoe. The downside is the low water resistance, and therefore well suited to a dry environment. At higher humidity may be soaking shoes. The bottom is connected to the top of compression, injection, molding. In this way, is produced mainly sports shoes, designed for leisure. Call quality and the quality of the bottom of the shoe depends on the quality of the material. The combination of the underside of the upper is made by sewing to the edge obszywającego. This connection is very stable and resistant.
