Carhartt WIP Cordura® Slippers

Cordura®: A registered brand for a collection of certified, technologically advanced fabrics that feature exceptional resistance to abrasion, tearing and mechanical wear. Based on high-tenacity nylon fibres (polyamide), which are specifically woven and often supplemented with a polyurethane coating or water-repellent treatment. Thanks to its structural integrity, Cordura® is used in the most demanding segments such as the manufacture of expedition backpacks, motorcycle clothing, tactical gear and stressed parts of work or outdoor footwear. Despite its robustness, the material retains a relatively low weight and sufficient flexibility.

Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

Rubber: It is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.
