What kind of sole is the 'hongchang' mentioned in the boots description?
While reading the boots details, you stop upon seeing an unfamiliar word in the outsole section. It makes you even more curious as it is placed next to familiar words like cowhide.
Hongchang is an industry conventional name that refers to reddish rubber-based soles by color, and these boots used that sole for reasons of breathability.
FOLDED BOOTS are shoes explained by dividing the upper and lower parts. The upper wrapping the foot is glossy cowhide[1], and the outsole touching the ground is hongchang[2].
As the name suggests, hongchang refers to a sole with a reddish tint. In shoemaking settings, there is a habit of distinguishing and referring to soles by color, so black soles are known as heukchang, white soles as baekchang, and red soles as hongchang. Since it is a name based on visible color rather than the name of the material, even among the same hongchang, the rubber blend or firmness can vary depending on where it is made.
The property AMOMENTO emphasized regarding this sole is breathability[3]. hmmm, soles are usually discussed in terms of traction or wear, but here, the aspect of air passing through was pointed out first.
The specific material composition, thickness, and heel height of the hongchang have not yet been confirmed.
