Elastic Tapes for Technical and Sports Footwear
We develop custom tapes and elastics for technical sports footwear with the precise goal of improving fit, comfort, and performance. The use of tapes, webbings, and elastics serves to enhance tension, foot wrapping, precision, and durability without adding weight or bulk.
Our applications cover a wide spectrum of uses:
Tapes and loops for ski and snowboard boots: Robust components designed to facilitate donning and ensure structural closure, resisting low temperatures and strong pulling forces.
Elastic inserts for climbing shoes: “V-shaped” elastic bands (especially in slip-ons) that allow for a quick and snug fit, adapting to the instep volume while maintaining constant tension.
Tapes, elastics, and cords for cycling and outdoor shoes: Designed to ensure optimal stability and a precise fit.
Tongue centering elastic bands: Elastic tapes that connect the tongue to the sides of the upper, stabilizing it, preventing lateral slipping, and improving the overall fit.
Lace loops (webbing loops): Used as a high-performance alternative to traditional eyelets.
Elastics for inner liners: Designed for optimal foot adaptation, secure wrapping, and position maintenance.
Pull tabs and webbing loops: To facilitate easy step-in and assist with closure.
Reinforcement tapes: For added structural integrity in high-stress areas.
Integrated elastics for inner gaiters: Ensuring a secure, protective, and weather-tight seal.
Our custom solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of each customer, guaranteeing stress resistance, long-lasting durability, and the exact elastic tension exactly where it is needed.
