Sustainable comfort in every step: Lenzing fibers for footwear & accessories
About Footwear & accessories
At Lenzing, we believe that footwear and accessories should combine style, comfort, and functionality. From sneakers and ballet flats to sandals, heels, and bags, our fibers support a wide range of designs and applications.*
Lenzing fibers can be used in various footwear components, including uppers, linings, insoles, and outsoles, as well as shoelaces, zippers, and sewing threads. Depending on the fiber type, component, and application, they offer documented properties such as softness and strength.
Properties and suitability vary according to fiber type, component, and application. For further information, please refer to the relevant product specifications and technical documentation.
Benefits
How footwear & accessories benefit from Lenzing fibers
Effective moisture control
The structure of cellulosic fibers allows the absorption and release of moisture. In the textile product, these moisture controlling properties support a drier microclimate on the skin.
Unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers absorb sweat efficiently, resulting in reduced moisture on the fiber surface. This creates a less favorable environment for the growth of odor-causing bacteria.²
Versatility
With their wide range of fiber types and blending options, TENCEL™ fibers offer an almost endless variety of product designs and functions.
High tenacity
TENCEL™ fibers have a high tenacity profile among cellulosic fibers, favoring processing stability. This enables our fibers to withstand faster production speeds in machinery.
