Development of high absorbency cum protective shoe for sports and industrial applications.

  Varshani S

Technical textiles are having advanced features on specific applications compared to traditional textiles. It is something which is defined as value added products that are most probably used for their functional purpose. These textiles are only manufactured primarily for their technical performance. Protective textile is one of the parts in technical textile. PROTECH plays an important role in safeness of the human body. It will mainly protect humans from various natural or industrial hazards. These Protective clothing or materials are useful in many aspects but this work is something which is related to sports shoe and also industrial safety shoes. Shoes and Socks are the separate materials, in which Socks are useful for absorbing sweat. If we wear shoes without socks, after a few hours of removal it will definitely cause a too bad smell which makes us feel disgusting. Instead of wearing socks, my idea is to produce advanced shoes with a good sweat absorbing property and smoothness in the inner layer of the shoes with longer life. By using these advanced shoes the wearer's foot will be more healthy and comfortable to wear for a long time. Whenever these shoes get wet, it will dry so faster and easier because of the great absorbency effect. Due to faster drying, these shoes will not lead to bad smell. This makes it more comfortable for a sports person to wear these advanced shoes instead of wearing both shoes and socks. Industrial workers also can prefer this type of shoes for their safety aspect, because they aren’t able to work without shoes on considering their safety purpose, it is a very helpful one. For these kinds of shoes, fibres used should have all these properties like absorbency, strength, fineness, flexibility and durability. It can achieve with the combination of micro polyester with other materials gives better effect. This idea is not only for sport and industrial shoes but also for regular use shoes.
