Why Pigskin is a Popular Material in Shoe Production
Pigskin is a common material used in the production of shoes due to its durability, flexibility, and water-resistant properties.
It is often used in athletic shoes, such as football and soccer cleats, casual shoes and boots.
Pigskin leather is made from pigs’ hides, typically raised for meat. The leather is treated and processed to create a material that is strong, supple, and resistant to wear and tear.

It is also naturally water-resistant, making it ideal for use in shoes exposed to moisture.
In addition to its functional properties, pigskin leather is also valued for its appearance.
It has a distinctive grain pattern and texture that can add visual interest to shoes and other leather goods.
While some people may object to the use of pigskin due to ethical or religious reasons, it remains a popular material for shoe production due to its practical and aesthetic qualities.
