Texon Delivers Comfort
Texon International is the world’s leading producer of structural footwear materials
and has pioneered insoling materials technology for over 50 years. To ensure quality,
consistency and customer satisfaction, we offer a complete range of cellulose,
non-woven and metallic structural product solutions to satisfy most footwear needs.
Texon cotton insoles are made from high quality natural materials, (organic cotton
fibres) and is believed to be the only insoling material made from 100% pure cotton
linters. The result Texon cotton insoles are very tough and strong, yet highly
absorbent, washable and comfortable.
The insole component provides the structural foundation for the rest of the shoe. It is
the key component in the reduction of humidity inside the shoe and is
subject to long lasting stress and aggressive perspiration. Even when dried, body salts
continue to attack the insole and encouraging odours. Texon cotton insoles are
specifically designed with absorption and comfort in mind, making it suitable for all
types of shoes, including military footwear and technical performance boots.

pure natural cotton linters
During processing, raw cotton is
separated into spinning fibre and
seeds. The remaining base fibre is
the cotton linter, and is ideal for
Texon insoles. Cotton linters have
a softness resulting in a soft, elastic
tread. They have excellent high
moisture management properties
and provide the neccessary biological
basis for good insole material.

outstanding value
We know the footwear buyer is
primarily influenced by the external
look and style of the shoe.
As a result some manufacturers
look to save money on the internal
componant of the shoe, or use more
expensive materials such as split
leather, which do not have the
essential benefits Texon cotton
insoles can deliver.
The insole provides the foundation for
quality, performance and comfort in all
footwear. Failure to ensure high quality
components can seriously affect the
performance and life of the shoe.
