Textile: is a lightweight material, which is offered in a very wide color scale and is mainly used for summer footwear.
Synthetics: unlike textile, synthetic fibers are stronger, more durable and quick-drying.
Vulcanized: refers to a sole that is reinforced in exposed places and is aimed at maximum safety, so it is most often used in skateboard models.
