High-Performance KPU Upper – Durable, Lightweight, and Weatherproof

For footwear that can keep up with your active lifestyle, the material of the upper is just as important as the sole. Our **KPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) upper** is designed for those who seek durability without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re hiking rugged trails, working long hours, or pushing your limits in sports, this advanced material provides the perfect balance of strength and flexibility.

Durable and sophisticated

Unlike traditional leather or fabric uppers, KPU offers superior abrasion resistance— perfect for high-wear areas like the toe box and heel. With a thickness of 1.5–2.0 mm, it can withstand scrapes, abrasions, and repeated flexing, making it a top choice for work boots, tactical shoes, and outdoor sports shoes. Yet, it’s surprisingly lightweight (150–200 g/m²), so your feet won’t feel heavy.

Weatherproof and breathable

Wet conditions? No problem. The KPU upper’s **waterproof surface** repels rain and mud, while its micro-perforation options enhance airflow to prevent sweat buildup. For extreme environments, pair it with a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex® for full protection.

Customizable to Meet Any Need

This material is available in standard colors (black, gray, navy) or custom Pantone-matched hues to suit your design vision. It’s also easy to clean—just wipe off dirt—and meets REACH eco-standards, containing no harmful chemicals.

Who Needs It?
Outdoor Enthusiasts: Handle rocks, mud, and UV exposure.
Industrial Workers: Pass wear tests for safety gear.
