Material Introduction
WINIW, a trusted supplier of performance footwear materials, proudly presents its Lightweight Composite Leather for Running Shoe Quarter—engineered to deliver exceptional lightness, structural support, and breathability for running shoes. This product addresses a critical need for running shoe manufacturers and athletic brands: a composite leather that combines minimal weight with durability and foot stability, ideal for running shoe quarters subjected to high-impact movement, long distances, and varying terrains.
Crafted with WINIW’s advanced lightweight composite technology, this leather features a hybrid structure of ultra-thin PU, polyester, and nylon blends that reduces weight (80–100g/m²) while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike ordinary running shoe materials that are heavy or lack support, it undergoes a specialized lamination and weft-knitting process that achieves a 30% weight reduction compared to standard leather quarters—without compromising durability. The material also incorporates a breathable mesh core that enhances airflow, paired with a flexible yet supportive structure that stabilizes the foot during running—a key improvement over heavy or unsupportive running shoe alternatives.
Suitable for road running shoes, trail running shoes, and sprinting footwear, it caters to brands focused on performance, speed, and comfort. It accepts custom colorways (bright athletic hues, neutral tones), texture variations (smooth/mesh-infused), and thinness options, aligning with running shoe design requirements and branding needs. For those seeking a lightweight, support-driven composite leather for running shoe quarters, this material from WINIW redefines speed and comfort in performance footwear.
Material Feature
This composite leather features WINIW’s hybrid fiber blend and thin-profile technology, achieving a weight of 80–100g/m²—30% lighter than standard running shoe quarters. It reduces overall shoe weight, enhancing speed and reducing fatigue for runners.
The hybrid fiber structure provides midfoot stability, preventing overpronation and reducing injury risk during running. It balances flexibility (for natural movement) with support (for high-impact steps), ideal for performance footwear.
The mesh-infused core delivers 250+ g/m²/24h air permeability, enhancing airflow and wicking moisture away from the foot. It keeps feet cool and dry, preventing sweat buildup during long runs or hot conditions.
Application Scenarios
For road running shoes, thin lightness (0.6mm–0.8mm) reduces weight for long distances. Breathability prevents sweat buildup during marathons or daily runs, while targeted support stabilizes the midfoot. Bright athletic hues align with performance branding, and durability withstands pavement impact.
In trail running shoes, supportive thickness (0.9mm–1.0mm) provides stability on uneven terrain. The material’s wear resistance handles rocks and roots, while breathability keeps feet cool during hikes. Earth tones (olive, brown) blend with outdoor environments, and flexibility supports ankle movement.
For sprinting shoes, ultra-thin design (0.6mm–0.7mm) minimizes weight for maximum speed. The lightweight structure reduces fatigue during short bursts, while the supportive core prevents foot slippage. Bold, high-visibility colors enhance race-day visibility, and durability withstands sprinting impact.

FAQ
Q1: Can this lightweight composite leather be customized to different thicknesses and support levels for specific running shoe types (e.g., thinner for sprinting vs. more supportive for trail running)?
A1: Yes, we offer thickness (0.6mm–1.0mm) and support customization. Thinner variants (0.6mm–0.8mm) suit sprinting shoes for minimal weight, while more supportive options (0.9mm–1.0mm) provide stability for trail running—all retaining lightness and breathability.
Q2: Will the lightweight properties fade or the material lose support after long-term use or exposure to sweat/cleaning?
A2: No, the hybrid fiber structure is designed for performance longevity. It retains lightness, support, and breathability, avoiding sagging or loss of structure even after repeated sweat exposure and cleaning with mild shoe cleaners.
Q3: Can we request custom color matching and texture to align with running shoe designs (e.g., bright athletic hues, mesh-infused textures)?
A3: Absolutely. We offer precise color customization (bright neons, team colors, neutrals) and texture variations (smooth/mesh-infused/micro-ribbed) to match athletic aesthetics. The colorants are fade-resistant and sweat-proof, ensuring consistent color across all quarters.
Q4: Is it suitable for minimalist running shoes, and will it affect flexibility or ground feel?
A4: Yes, it is ideal for minimalist shoes. The ultra-lightweight and flexible structure enhances ground feel, while providing just enough support to prevent injury. It aligns with minimalist footwear principles without compromising durability.
