The latest issue of World Footwear is now available
The January/February issue of World Footwear is now available. The full e-zine can be accessed here.

This issue has the leisure and lifestyle shoe sector as its main focus. It includes details of a new footwear method developed by DESMA, Huntsman and Spanish company Simplicity Works. There is also information about a new water-saving tanning technology from leather and footwear group Ecco. 

An extensive technical offering includes news of an interesting thermally moulded three-dimensional membrane-based liner from Sympatex, and a look at a new online ordering service being offered by German last maker Fagus. There is also our regular round-up of the current global shoe manufacturing situation. 

In our Love of Shoes section, we explore the reasons why a number of outdoor companies and fashion groups are acquiring footwear brands and we hear about the automotive inspiration behind a new sports shoe created by Norman Walsh.
