Leather is the tanned skin
from almost any animal. As a natural hard wearing material it
has numerous orthotic applications including cosmetic linings
or as an actual functional orthotic component.
Leathers can be relatively expensive but, its
apperance and versatility make it essential in high-end appliance
manufacture. For customers on limited budgets, we also supply
a range of cheaper attractive synthetic linings for use as a
cosmetic insole lining.
Natural leathers can often vary slightly in colour
and grain from one hide to another, or have varying shades through
the length of the hide. This in many cases proves that the leather
is of a premium quality and is unavoidable.
