Comfort /LWG Leather /Sneakers /Waterproof
Something is cooking in our development centre..
It’s difficult to imagine what our life would have been without development and innovation of footwear.
In this moment we are working on a unique fashion sneaker made from high quality leathers supplied by Isa Tantec – the Leather Working Group gold rated tannery based in the South of Vietnam. Developed on innovative Vibram outsoles, with Ortholite comfortable insoles and last but not least including a waterproof bootie construction. At OPUS we use membrane materials such as Sympatex and Cosmo. Building waterproof footwear involves tape-sealing the bootie lining in a specific way. All upper and interlining materials are non wicking and the LWG leather is hydrophobic.
