What is it made from?
Noskin's leather alternative is made from Spanish Milled OEKO-TEX Standard 100-certified Microfibre Polyurethane.
It's a synthetic material that has been created to replicate not only the look, but also the feel of traditional leather.
There are many options available for leather alternatives, but we feel this one is the best option when it comes to transitioning away from traditional leather, without sacrificing any of the qualities that make it such a widely used material for footwear.
