Footwear


Behind every successful walk is a great pair of shoes - a pair of shoes made from textile uppers. In particular, warp knitted fabrics provide lightweight footwear that offers feet secure support, breathability and comfort. The versatile spacer fabrics, raschel fabrics and tricot fabrics are also chic and stylish. Information on innovative machines for their production, market trends and new textile developments can be found in this section.
