Shoe Leather
Largest range of shoe upper and sole leather in Australia
To manufacture shoes, leather is the most practical and suitable material in terms of convenience, external appeal and function. It is very durable, elastic and breathable, and after tanning, leather becomes soft and smooth. These are the ideal characteristics for the manufacture of shoes. Leffler offers a wide range of shoe upper and sole leather. You can choose from hundreds of styles of chrome and veg-tanned leather from the leading leather brands.
Different types of leather for shoe sewing
The main characteristic of high-quality shoe leather is its increased resistance to bending, twisting, stretching and compression. Leather products must retain their shape even with sharp temperature fluctuations and high humidity levels. In addition, genuine shoe leather should effectively remove sweat, be hydrophobic, maintain heat, not crack as well as withstanding long exposure to dirt, salts and various chemicals. In the Leffler shoe leather collection, you will find the perfect leather hides and pre-cuts for shoe manufacture.
We have different types of leather for any needs:
- Soft upper leather. The upper parts of shoes are usually made from a dense elastic cattle hide or delicate soft lamb hide. We offer a large selection of leather of different textures, colours and thicknesses: glossy, matte, smooth, embossed, varnished - any option to manufacture a pair of unique shoes.
- Durable sole leather. Stricter requirements are imposed on the sole material since its main task is to maintain the foot in a stable position and withstand mechanical deformations. It is usually made from chrome-tanned leather, which gives it additional properties - increased strength and resistance to external influences such as moisture and dirt. But at Leffler, you can find special orthopaedic chrome-free sole leather, characterised by high hygienic properties, strength, elasticity, resistance to deformation and abrasion and better hygroscopicity, which is especially important in the manufacture of insoles and linings.
