Leather Upper

The properties of leather are numerous and varied, making it a unique material and ideal for the manufacture of boots and shoes. Depending on the parts chosen, it will be resistant and supple (full flower) or will offer good resistance to abrasion and tear (crust). Other characteristics can be attributed to it by specific treatments such as the water repellent treatment to give it water resistance and make it washable while maintaining its flexibility after drying.

The list of advantages of leather is therefore consistent: Resistance to tearing, abrasion. Perforation, fire: Leather is naturally non-flammable, good thermal insulation: Leather contains a lot of air, which is a thermal insulation. Permeability to water vapor: Leather fibers can retain large amounts of water vapor. This property allows the leather to absorb perspiration, which then dissipates, representing a significant factory in terms of comfort. The leather is said to be ‘’breathable’’. Thermostatic properties: Leather is warm in winter; cool in summer, due to thermal insulation.
