Material Introduction
WINIW, a leading innovator in footwear materials, proudly presents its Waterproof Vinyl Leather for Sandal Strap—engineered to deliver 100% water resistance, quick-drying performance, and comfortable fit for sandals. This product addresses a critical need for sandal manufacturers and summer footwear brands: a vinyl leather that combines complete water protection with durability and flexibility, ideal for sandal straps subjected to water activities, beach outings, and daily wear in humid conditions.
Crafted with WINIW’s advanced waterproof vinyl technology, this leather features a dense vinyl structure infused with waterproofing agents that create an impermeable barrier against water. Unlike ordinary sandal strap materials that absorb water or degrade, it undergoes a specialized coating and curing process that achieves IPX7 water resistance (submersible up to 1m for 30 minutes) and quick-drying performance (dries in 15–30 minutes)—outperforming standard sandal materials. The material also incorporates a soft, flexible core that ensures comfortable fit, paired with a UV-stable finish that resists fading from sunlight—a key improvement over water-absorbent or brittle sandal straps.
Suitable for flip-flops, slide sandals, sports sandals, and beach footwear, it caters to brands focused on functionality, durability, and summer style. It accepts custom colorways (bright hues, neutrals, metallic accents), texture variations (smooth/ribbed), and pattern embossing, aligning with summer footwear design requirements and branding needs. For those seeking a waterproof, quick-drying vinyl leather for sandal straps, this material from WINIW redefines performance and style in summer footwear.


Material Feature
This vinyl leather features WINIW’s waterproofing agent infusion and impermeable design, achieving IPX7 water resistance (submersible up to 1m for 30 minutes). It repels water on contact, preventing absorption and ensuring dry, comfortable wear in wet conditions.
The non-porous vinyl structure dries in 15–30 minutes, outperforming standard sandal materials by 50%. It prevents moisture buildup and bacterial growth, eliminating odor and ensuring fresh wear even after repeated water exposure.
The UV-stable finish blocks harmful sunlight, resisting fading and discoloration for the entire summer season. Bright colors and patterns retain vibrancy, ensuring sandals look new for longer—ideal for summer footwear.


Application Scenarios
For beach/pool sandals, thin waterproof straps (0.5cm–1cm) repel saltwater and chlorine. Quick-drying performance prevents odor after swimming, while UV resistance retains bright colors in sunlight. Smooth texture avoids sand buildup, ensuring comfort for beach days.
In sports sandals, wide ribbed straps (2cm–5cm) provide support for hiking or walking. Waterproofing handles rain or stream crossings, while durability withstands rough terrain. The flexible material adapts to foot movement, reducing fatigue during outdoor activities.
For casual sandals, medium-width straps (1cm–2cm) balance style and comfort. Waterproofing protects against rain or spills, while quick-drying ensures fresh wear all day. Custom pastel hues or neutral tones align with everyday outfits, enhancing versatility.
