High performance, lightweight nonwovens for enhancing durability
Durable reinforcements designed for stronger, lighter footwear
Combining lightweight construction with outstanding strength, our reinforcement materials are designed with up to 100% GRS-certified recycled content. The chemical binder-free manufacturing process promotes cleaner production, while non-fraying edges provide enhanced durability and easier handling during processing. An ideal solution for reinforcing eyelets, straps, and shoe uppers.
