Wear Resistance for Shoe Uppers
Toe, vamp, side and heel areas can experience repeated friction against floors, equipment, pavement and rough surfaces.
DIN Abrasion
The listed ISO 4649 result is a volume loss below 30 mm³, providing a measurable basis for wear-resistant footwear applications.
Tear Strength
The listed ISO 3377-2 tear strength is ≥45 N, supporting stitched and mechanically loaded upper sections.
Surface and Microfiber Structure
The PU surface provides color and grain while the dense microfiber base supports strength, skiving and dimensional stability during shoe production.
Dense Microfiber Base
The uniform structure supports upper panels, reinforcement pieces and repeated cutting.
Clean Skiving
Edges can be thinned around overlapping seams and folded sections.
Surface Finish
Color and grain can be matched to different footwear designs.
Cutting Stability
The consistent sheet structure supports die cutting and CNC cutting.
Footwear Applications
Safety and Work Shoes
Suitable for upper and reinforcement areas exposed to workshop floors, equipment and repeated daily wear.
Outdoor Footwear
Useful for upper sections exposed to rocks, rough ground and frequent surface contact.
Skate and Sports Shoes
Suitable for toe and side panels exposed to repeated dragging, flexing and friction.

Processing for Footwear Production
Cutting
The uniform microfiber structure supports repeatable shoe-panel cutting and pattern layout.
Skiving
Edge thinning helps reduce bulk around seams, folds and overlapping components.
Stitching
Tear strength supports seams, eyelets and other mechanically loaded areas.
Bonding
Adhesive, primer and surface preparation should match the selected outsole and assembly process.
Performance for High-Wear Footwear
| Property | Footwear Relevance |
|---|---|
| DIN Abrasion | Measures material volume loss under controlled abrasive contact |
| Tear Strength | Important around seams, eyelets and reinforcement zones |
| Flex Resistance | Relevant to vamp and forefoot areas that bend repeatedly |
| Peel Strength | Measures adhesion between the surface layer and microfiber structure |
| Bonding Performance | Important when uppers are bonded to rubber, EVA or other sole materials |
Thickness Options
1.2 mm
A lighter option for sports footwear and upper panels that need greater flexibility.
1.4 mm
A balanced option for general uppers, reinforcement areas and outdoor footwear.
1.6 mm
A heavier option for safety footwear and upper constructions requiring more material body.
Production Fit
Thickness can be selected together with skiving, stitching and bonding requirements.
Custom Footwear Material Options
Color and Grain
Colors and surface textures can be developed from physical references or approved samples.
Thickness
Choose 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm or 1.6 mm according to the upper construction.
Performance
Abrasion, tear, flexing and bonding requirements can be matched to the intended footwear application.
