VINYL
Vinyl is a synthetic material that gives a leather-like finish. It is thin, durable and waterproof. It comes in a vast range of colours and is our standard top cover.
AMB
AMB stands for Anti-Microbial. It contains silver nitrate, which has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial properties. This cover is best used for sweaty and pungent feet.
MICROSUEDE
Microsuede is made of millions of fine 100% pure polyester fibres, yet feels like genuine suede. It is soft-to-touch, wear-resistant, stain-proof and is one of the easiest fabrics to keep clean. Commonly used in shoes where socks will not be worn, like sandals, as it is soft underfoot and breathable.
LEATHER
Leather is a durable and flexible material created from cattle hide. It is breathable which helps with wear in the heat. It has a professional look that is preferred for many dress shoes.
NEOPRENE
Our standard Neoprene is Opulex Performance. It is shock-absorbing, durable and has an inbuilt stretch nylon cloth top that is easy to clean. It is an excellent option for workers who are consistently on their feet or diabetic/rheumatology patients.
PERF. EVA
Our perforated EVA is high-quality Lunasoft EVA, perforated with holes for aeration and breathability. It is best used for active patients that may excessively sweat or have pungent feet.
PS VLIES
A felt-like material comprised of a non-woven cotton-polyester polyurethane blend. It absorbs moisture during regular wear and dries afterwards, however, if it gets wet it can get slimy so we do not recommend it for people in humid conditions or those that may sweat excessively.
PLASTAZOTE
This is a closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foam. Recommended for use with accommodative devices, such as for diabetic patients and those with rheumatoid arthritis to offload areas of high pressure.
PERSONALISED COVER
We are able to personalise your top covers and add your clinic’s branding to help you achieve your branding and marketing goals. Because this is not available on all materials, please talk to our team first.
