Material Introduction
WINIW, a trusted supplier of footwear lining materials, proudly presents its Flexible PVC Leather for Sneaker Lining Material—engineered to deliver exceptional flexibility, moisture management, and comfortable fit for athletic and casual sneakers. This product addresses a critical need for shoe manufacturers and sportswear brands: a PVC leather that combines ultra-flexible performance with breathability and durability, ideal for sneaker linings subjected to daily movement, sweat, and long hours of wear.
Crafted with WINIW’s advanced flexible PVC technology, this leather features a thin, supple PVC structure infused with softening agents that enhance bendability and reduce friction. Unlike ordinary PVC linings that feel stiff or cause discomfort, it undergoes a specialized calendaring and conditioning process that achieves a 180° bend recovery rate (no creasing) and low friction coefficient (0.3+)—outperforming standard sneaker linings. The material also incorporates a moisture-wicking backing that draws sweat away from the foot, paired with a wear-resistant surface that withstands repeated foot movement—a key improvement over rigid or non-breathable lining alternatives.
Suitable for running shoes, basketball sneakers, casual trainers, and lifestyle footwear, it caters to brands focused on comfort, fit, and performance. It accepts custom colorways (neutral tones, brand accents), texture variations (smooth/micro-textured), and thinness options, aligning with sneaker design requirements and branding needs. For those seeking a flexible, comfort-driven PVC leather for sneaker linings, this material from WINIW redefines fit and wearability in athletic and casual footwear.
Material Feature
This PVC leather features WINIW’s softening agent infusion and thin-profile design, achieving 180° bend recovery with no creasing. It moves in sync with the foot, eliminating stiffness and ensuring all-day comfort for active lifestyles.
The smooth PVC surface has a friction coefficient of 0.3+, minimizing rubbing against the foot. It reduces hotspots and blisters, even during long workouts or extended wear—ideal for performance and casual sneakers alike.
The polyester backing wicks sweat away from the foot, keeping the sneaker interior dry. This moisture management prevents odor buildup and bacterial growth, ensuring fresh, comfortable wear for hours.
Application Scenarios
For running/basketball sneakers, thin flexibility (0.3mm–0.5mm) supports quick movements and reduces weight. Low friction prevents blisters during intense workouts, while moisture-wicking keeps feet dry. The material’s bend recovery ensures no creasing, maintaining comfort for miles or games.
In casual trainers, medium thickness (0.6mm–0.7mm) balances flexibility and durability. The soft feel enhances everyday comfort, while moisture-wicking prevents odor from daily commutes. Custom brand accent colors align with sneaker designs, enhancing brand identity.
For wide-fit/orthopedic styles, ultra-flexible (0.4mm–0.6mm) material adapts to foot shape variations. Low friction and moisture-wicking ensure comfort for those with sensitive feet or extended wear needs. The supple structure supports natural foot movement without restriction.

FAQ
Q1: Can this flexible PVC leather be customized to different thicknesses for specific sneaker types (e.g., thinner for running shoes vs. slightly thicker for casual trainers)?

Thinner variants (0.3mm–0.5mm) provide lightweight flexibility for running/basketball shoes, while slightly thicker options (0.6mm–0.8mm) offer enhanced durability for casual trainers—all retaining flexibility and moisture-wicking performance.
