Product safety is paramount and, with many products sourced from the global marketplace, itcan be difficult to keep abreast of what is required in different parts of the world in terms oflegislation on chemicals and restricted substances. This can be a veritable minefield and has thepotential to be costly in terms of finance and reputation.Are you aware of the different legislation which applies to your footwear?Does your company have a testing programme to ensure that your footwear does not contain hazardous chemicals?Is your footwear fit for purpose?These questions are particularly important when dealing with children’s footwear.

Depending on where your customers are located you will need to be familiar with the following:United StatesCPSIA - the consumer product safetyimprovement act of 2008 controls theamount of lead and phthalates inconsumer products intended primarilyfor children 12 years old or under.Proposition 65 is an initiative toaddress growing concerns aboutexposure to toxic chemicals. Itcovers all products and servicesdistributed in the State ofCalifornia and requires that warnings vialabelling, newspaper notices, etc are issued relatingto chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which includesover 800 chemicals.Europe REACH – deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicalsubstances and all products supplied within Europe must be compliant, in particular substancesidentified as being of very high concern (SVHCs).ChinaGB standards are mandatory for leather products sold into China and brands in breach of GBstandards may have their products seized from stores.To ensure consistent quality and performance for footwear, BLC recommends that you setrealistic specifications, coupled with a sensible and balanced chemical testing regime in linewith current legislation and industry standards.

GORE-TEX® footwear with SURROUND™ Product TechnologyFor the Spring Summer season, and it’s all too unpredictable weather, consider stocking the lat-est fusion between design and technology. These products offer the wearer 360 degree climatecomfort, high breathability with the added benefit of 100% waterproofness. Clarks, Legero,Superfit, Primigi and Ara all have styles featuring this innovation.

HHooww ddooeess tthhee TTeecchhnnoollooggyy WWoorrkk??A new GORE-TEX® laminate that allows the entire foot to breathe as well as remaining durablywaterproof, forms an integral part of the shoe’s construction. A unique open sole structure hasbeen designed into the footwear. This allows excess heat and sweat to pass through the GORE-TEX® membrane and to the outside of the shoe. The openings in the sole and the GORE-TEX®membrane are protected by a robust non-woven fabric which prevents the membrane frombeing pierced by for example, walking over stones or sharp objects, so protecting the wearer fromany discomfort.

The openings in the sole are a clear indication of its breathability so consumers can immediatelysee the potential benefits of this new functionality. What’s more, the innovative structure of thesole opens up completely new and exciting design opportunities for Gore’s brand partners.
