Coats Footwear will be exhibiting, Sept. 19-21, at Lineapelle in Milan as its team showcases a portfolio of innovative, sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques that have been strengthened by the acquisitions last year of Texon and Rhenoflex.
Now operating as one global team – and offering more than 450 different products – Coats Footwear will highlight new and existing technologies that can enhance the design, comfort, performance and eco credentials of footwear, luxury accessories and apparel.
Innovations under the spotlight at Lineapelle will include a new ProWeave collaboration with a big brand name, plus:
- Knox Plus Green – A two-layer perforation-resistant textile insole for the safety shoe market, Knox Plus Green contains up to 55 percent recycled fiber.

- Ecostrobe – An insole technology made with 100 percent recycled content, Ecostrobe is created via a special fusion-bonding technique without water or chemicals – making it the environmentally-conscious option for Strobel applications.
- Ecosole 60 – A moisture resistant cellulose insole material that contains up to 75 percent recycled content, Ecosole 60 still meets Gore-tex specifications and is suitable for use in cement-lasted footwear.
- T438 Cotton – A high-quality, anti-bacterial material made from 100 percent cotton, T438 Cotton is used to make insoles for all types of footwear from ladies’ shoes to army boots to casual shoes that need to be washed.
- T437 – A natural fiber, elastomeric-bonded structural material, T437 meets the highest standards for shoemaking, is ideal for Goodyear welted and cement-lasted footwear and provides a high level of comfort.
- Vogue – Certified by The Vegan Society, OEKO-TEX and FSC, this versatile alternative to leather is a washable cellulose solution that can be printed, laminated, coated or screen-printed to suit specific requirements.
