What is a bike shoe?

Soft warm bike fabric has been familiar to many since childhood. Plaids, winter blankets, clothes for babies and adults are sewed from such material, and also used as a lining for clothes. But besides this, due to the characteristics of operational characteristics, they also make a shoe lining out of bikes.

Definition of tales

Reference! Flax fabric is a material that is pleasant to the touch with a dense structure and soft pile, produced by means of linen or twill weaving of cotton, wool or half-woolen thread.

It is thanks to a special method of interweaving threads that this type of material has a characteristic dense structure.

The practical flannel fabric that appeared at the beginning of the 18th century in the everyday life of the Russian people was initially woolen and had a coffee shade.

Composition of the bike

Previously, this type of material was made only from wool fibers. But the price of natural flannelette fabric made of wool was too high. Subsequently, cotton threads began to be added to the composition of such a fabric. After that, the material began to differ not only in high consumer qualities, but also at an affordable price.

Important! Synthetic threads and viscose are sometimes added to the composition of such a fabric to reduce the cost of the fabric.

It must be borne in mind that such additives significantly reduce the heat-shielding and hygienic properties of such a material. In addition, the non-natural fabric pile rolls very quickly.

Production of tales

This type of canvas, which has just emerged from under the loom (severe), is not particularly attractive in appearance. For this reason, in the future, this material is subjected to additional processing, which includes :

• thorough cleaning;
• plain coloring;
• print drawing;
• final finish.

This allows you to get a fabric with a half-thick weave and double-sided hair. The weave can be finely or coarse. It depends on the threads used as weft.

Advantages of the bike

The main advantages of this material include the following:

• high thermal insulation;
• hypoallergenicity;
• strength (not afraid of moisture and tolerates temperature extremes);
• wear resistance and a long period of operation;
• reasonable cost;
• no need for special care (if necessary, clean and dry at room temperature).

Important! This fabric must not be dried on batteries or heaters. In conditions of limited time, you can use a hairdryer, but this method is not recommended to be abused.

The use of bikes in shoes

A shoe bike is a soft and fairly dense fabric with a small combed pile on both sides. The lining of this fabric is characterized by high performance and is used as a practical insulation for demi-season shoes.

Boots or boots lined with bikes will warm your feet well in early spring and late fall.

Such shoes will be an excellent option for small cold weather, when shoes with a leather lining are already not warming well enough, and in models with a fur or wool lining it is still too hot.

Tips for choosing shoes with a bike inside

Shoes with such a lining are recommended to be purchased for a long transition season, when the temperature still does not rise above 10 ° C. When choosing shoes with a lining of this type, it is recommended to pay attention to the density of the material. A quality bike should have a thick pile and a dense structure. The lining should not have a sharp specific smell, and there should not be traces of paint on the hands.

Shoes with bike lining are most often chosen by people who value warmth and comfort and prefer natural fabrics. Due to reasonable price, such shoes are available to a wide range of buyers.
