What Are the Best Fabric Materials for Shoes?

 

The choice of materials for shoe manufacturing significantly influences the quality, comfort, and durability of the footwear. These materials serve various functions, from enhancing aesthetics to providing style, comfort, and support. Coats offers a diverse range of materials—including threads and fabrics—to fulfil every footwear requirement. We provide durable, innovative materials suitable for high-quality shoe production.

 

Here's a closer look at some of the types of fabric for shoes available at Coats:

 

ProWeave for advanced weaving in footwear

 

Jacquard weaving is a popular technique in the footwear, luxury goods, fashion, and apparel industries. Coats elevates this technique with ProWeave, employing advanced functional and creative weaving methods. ProWeave produces jacquard fabric for shoes, integrating various zones of stability, abrasion resistance, and elasticity. It also offers diverse finishing options like membranes, coatings, paddings, foams, mesh, stretch linings, PFC-free options, thermal insulation, chemical treatments, mechanical finishes, and dyeing.

 

ProWeave enables Coats to combine different weights, thicknesses, colours, and fabric types. This approach results in seamless, unique footwear fabrics with localised properties and features.

 

Vogue - A sustainable leather alternative

 

Vogue serves as an eco-friendly, stylish, and durable alternative to leather. Available in various colours, finishes, and thicknesses, it can be coated, laminated, screen-printed, or custom-printed to suit your specific needs.

 

Rhenoprint for custom reinforcement materials

 

Fabric for shoes must meet precise specifications in terms of hardness, thickness, and shape—especially if it is used for reinforcement purposes. Rhenoprint allows Coats to create custom materials in-house tailored to these requirements. The process adheres to stringent quality standards and uses high-quality powders. Rhenoprint also reduces waste by eliminating the need for trimming and die-cutting, requiring about 30% less material compared to traditional sheet stock, promoting sustainability.

Benefits Of Using Core Spun Yarns

 

Corespun yarns offer a versatile solution for various applications, including industrial fabrics, knitwear, and apparel. These yarns are particularly beneficial in applications requiring comfort, softness, durability, and strength. At Coats, we produce high-quality corespun yarn like Webflex TEN, specifically designed for high-performance tire fabrics. Unlike standard yarns, Webflex TEN is air-jet spun with Tencel to provide superior strength compared to cotton. It can handle weaving speeds over 750 ppm while minimising dusting and reducing machine stops.

 

Corespun yarns typically exhibit high tenacity and excellent strength, maintaining uniform size, enhanced stretchability, and improved ply security. They also offer optimal abrasion resistance, contributing to the aesthetic value of the final product. Let's delve deeper into the benefits of using a yarn like Webflex TEN.

 

High performance for demanding applications

 

Corespun yarn is particularly effective for weft yarns in high-performance vehicle tires. It supports tire formation by facilitating high-speed weaving with fewer interruptions. Additionally, its construction allows for the use of finer yarns without compromising strength. The 90% knotless feature of Webflex Ten enhances loom efficiency, outperforming traditional corespun yarns.

 

Precision in tire production

 

Webflex HEN, another Coats product, wraps a special ring-spun or air-jet cotton fibre around a continuous filament nylon core. This results in a yarn ideal for wefting high-performance tire fabrics. Webflex HEN's specific elongation settings allow for precise tire formation, a significant improvement over regular corespun yarns.

 

Cleaner manufacturing process

 

The manufacturing process of corespun yarn significantly reduces residue and debris during fabric weaving. Webflex HEN, for instance, produces minimal dust and fly, eliminating extensive clean-up requirements after tire production.

 

Enhancing productivity

 

High-quality corespun yarns like those produced by Coats can accelerate and streamline the fabric weaving process for high-performance tires. Webflex HEN supports weaving speeds exceeding 750 ppm while ensuring minimal stoppages. The special cotton wrapping also provides protection to the nylon core against heat during the tire dipping process, further increasing productivity.
