The choice of every single
material is fundamental. During its long
experience, Alisport has selected a wide
choice of leathers, linings, footbeds
and soles and now can choose only among
the best ones, which are able to guarantee
a final result, which has the ideal characteristics
for the purpose of the shoe itself.
Upper:
The choice of the leather
is a fundamental step for planning a shoe.
The final result depends on the technical
and aesthetic characteristics of the leather.
All the leather used by Alisport comes
from Venetian and Tuscan tanneries and
is produced with technologies and treatments,
which respect the environment and guarantee
the lack of toxic residues.
The leather that Alisport uses for its
footwear is: - Full grain leather:
is the best quality and the toughest and
most water resistant but it also has breathable
characteristics. - Nabuck leather: : Is
a full grain water repellent leather that
has been buffed to give it the velvety
and smooth finish called Nabuck. It has
the same characteristics of the full grain
leather. - Suede leather: Is a
leather finished with a velvety nap. Special
treatment renders suede rubbing resistant
and water resistant. The result of this
treatment is soft, comfortable and delicate
to the touch.
Lining:
Alisport uses high quality
leather or breathable synthetic fibres
linings, such as Dri-Lex®, Windtex®,
Impraperm®, Comfortex® e Cambrelle®,
which are water resistant and maintain
the micro-climate between leather and
fabric. The area in direct touch with
the leather remains always dry, whilst
the opposite side acts like a pump, aspirating
both sweat and humidity and carrying them
outside. These fabrics are also soft and
elastic, thus very comfortable.
Footbed:
Alisport uses for its footwear
a range of removable insoles of different
materials according to its purpose: leather,
water resistant and crushproof latex with
leather or fabric coating, or leather
with E.V.A.® shock-absorbent heel.
