We have a new issue of World Footwear magazine, issue number four, the last one for 2023, available here for readers to enjoy.
This issue of the magazine has technical articles in Materials, Manufacturing and Innovation that cover the challenges involved in choosing hides, and outline some easy-to-use digital tools that are emerging from Portugal’s shoe industry.
We also cover developments that are lowering TPU’s environmental impact.
In Athletic and Outdoor, we document the steps that are taking place towards Bluesign certification for shoes, while in the Safety and Work Shoes section, we describe the important changes to have emerged in ISO standards.
Then, in Business of Footwear, we offer an assessment of the work that industry bodies in Latin America are carrying out to combat unfair competition, and we close this issue with an account of the pioneering work that has led one footwear brand to be able to achieve a carbon footprint milestone.
We hope you enjoy every article.
