Nachhaltigkeit bei Kinderschuhen: Warum wir auf Mikrofasermaterialien setzen - Ebmini®

Sustainability in children's shoes: Why we rely on microfiber materials

What is microfiber leather and how is it made?


Microfiber leather is a modern, high-quality synthetic leather made from a fine microfiber fabric coated with a layer of polyurethane (PU).

This combination makes it particularly resilient, durable, and at the same time pleasantly soft. Unlike conventional PU leather, which is usually made of coarse fabric, microfiber leather has a structure that closely resembles genuine leather—both in feel and appearance—while offering superior functional properties.

Environmentally friendly and hygienic: The advantages of microfiber leather


The biggest advantage over real leather is its sustainability: microfiber leather contains no animal components and is therefore vegan.

Its production requires significantly less water, energy, and chemicals than conventional leather production. It's also recyclable, thus contributing to a reduction in the ecological footprint. It's particularly practical for everyday use: Microfiber leather is antibacterial, odor-resistant, water-repellent, and easy to clean – ideal for active children's feet that are in daily use.

Perfect for sensitive children's feet


Children’s feet are soft, sensitive and constantly moving.

Microfiber leather shoes adapt flexibly to the shape of your foot without pinching or rubbing. They ensure a comfortable foot climate, prevent excessive sweating, and offer sufficient freedom of movement. Combined with a flexible barefoot sole, they create a natural, healthy walking experience – like being barefoot, only protected.
