What is Footwear Fabric?
Footwear fabric consists of multiple fabrics that are used in the shoe industry like leather, nylon, polyester, etc. leather and synthetics are commonly used for shoe manufacturing. Each fabric has its own look and price.
These fabrics are used in the manufacturing of shoes to make them more comfortable and strong. Shoes can not be made without fabric example: In leather shoes, we use fusing fabric, which is a small part of fabric but it cannot be removed and few shoes are fully manufactured from fabric like canvas and espadrille, sports shoes, etc.

This is the most commonly used fabric in the footwear industry. In interlining fabric, we used both fabrics (cotton & polyester) but for the maximum time, we use cotton fabric because the cotton fabric is very sustainable although it depends on the shoe’s leather and synthetic.
