Method for waterproofing blanks of shoes, gloves, items of clothing and other clothing accessories, blanks waterproofed with the method, shoes, gloves, items of clothing and other clothing accessories provided with the waterproofed blanks

This invention describes a way to make shoes, gloves, and clothing waterproof by attaching a special material to the inside surface of the fabric blank. This material is a flexible sheet made from a polymer that blocks liquid water but allows water vapor to pass through, making the item both waterproof and breathable. The process involves gluing and pressing this specialized material onto the blank.

Why it matters: Since 2015, advancements in polymer science have yielded more effective waterproof-breathable membranes. Improved adhesive technologies and automated bonding processes could make manufacturing this method more efficient.
