Zusammenfassung:
Hygroscopicity, moisture return, wetting, capillarity and water vapour permeability of
materials were studied in shoes linings and insoles made of natural and artificial leather. It was
established that liquid-based and final finishing deteriorate hygienic properties of natural leather to
a great extend. With the use of obtained results, a new graphically-numerical method was tested in
assessment of shoe material comfortability, the materials that have direct contact with the human
foot. According to the method, the ratio between pentagon areas of material tested and reference
material is taken as quantitative indicator of quality.
