People always ask
what YDS stands for
*
Why YDS?
YDS produces high quality footwear for the Military, Police, Fire, Ambulance, Specialist Industrial and Postal markets where there is a requirement for high specification footwear to protect and provide a safe, warm and comfortable encasement for wearers feet. The business stands for QUALITY and invests in continuous improvement and the world’s leading technology brands to make the highest performing footwear.
When it comes to manufacturing footwear, YDS has forged an industry edge due to its extensive history in military footwear and the continuous development of innovative processes that test for strength, durability and comfort. To keep a step ahead from its competitors, YDS continues to invest in world leading technologies such as GORE-TEX®, Coolmax and VIBRAM. As YDS manufacturing capabilities and facilities exceed such a high standard, YDS has the license to produce footwear with GORE-TEX® membranes.YDS Boots use an injection process that bonds the sole to the uppers, ultimately giving the wearer a stronger, more durable boot when its needed most on tough terrain and all weather conditions.
YDS have been successfully supplying military and security forces with quality made boots and footwear since 1927. Today, YDS is now recognised as one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of military footwear worldwide, producing over 10,000 pairs of boots and shoes every day.
YDS and WL GORE continue to work hard to develop footwear so that all the components work together, giving the wearer a quality system that offers 100% waterproofing and breathability. To ensure the YDS military boot with a GORE-TEX® membrane is up to the task, it has to pass a 500,000 flex test underwater implemented by WL GORE. This is the equivalent of walking 50km; the membrane needs to pass this intensive flex test to confirm its quality. There is no other waterproof system that can offer this level of testing and assurance.
*p.s. If you really want to know what the letters stand for, try Yakupoglu Leather Industries in the Turkish language ‘Yakupoglu Deri Sanayi’ which is where the YDS business began back in 1927.

Outstanding thermal protection – Exceptional thermal integrity allows the use of lightweight liners for added comfort, flexibility and performance without compromising thermal protection.
Washable Ortholite® insoles are completely washable and will not result in Hydrolysis breakdown. Washing will not result in the loss of shape or reduce its performance properties. The anitbacterial biocide is impregnated into the foam during manufacturing and cannot be washed out.
Proven durability – Built-in protection of fiber blend and ripstop weave provides strength and flexibility even after extreme thermal exposure.
Top Cloth (Fabric, Grey) 100% PES, Knitted, 210 g/m2 + 10 g/m2. High abrasion resistant knitted fabric.
Long-lasting dependability – Proven track record in the field. Highly affordable – Hardworking outer shell at a great price.
Base Foam Density: 0.11g/cm3 Open Cell PU foam Hardness: 25 Asker C
Durability High performance abrasion resistance properties in base foam, ensuring the insole stays inside the shoe.
Air flow & Permeability Open cell PU foam. The unique open cell structure of Ortholite® enables air to go through and around the insole creating a cooler environment inside the shoe. Ortholite® foams offer up to 95-100% breathability for maximum ventilation in and around the foot.
COOLMAX® fabric is the performance fabric that
includes an effective fiber-based moisture management system. The system can move perspiration away from the body, and through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable.
Long lasting cushion support The compression set of Ortholite® insoles is less than 5%.
Moisture transport Millions of air bubbles that create the open cell structure inherent to the Ortholite® foam work to transport moisture away from the foot and then disperse it evenly throughout the foam, thus promoting the quickest possible drying time inside the shoe. In addition the resulting lack of moisture build-up inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria that feed on a moist environment.
Patented Anti-Microbial/Odor Destroyer A patented biocide is added to all Ortholite® foams to fight against the presence of fungus, bacteria and odor. The strength of the environmentally friendly biocide, along with the excellent moisture removal properties inherent in the foam, inhibit the build-up of the bacteria and fungi associated with the cause of odor.

Air system THE BENEFITS OF Open-Cell Foam Technology OrthoLite’s advanced proprietary polyurethane formula with recycled rubber content delivers a combination of benefits unmatched by any other insole manufacturer. Long-Term Cushioning Unlike traditional insoles, the compression set of OrthoLite insoles is less than 5% over time so the cushioning and fit never change inside the shoe, providing maximum comfort every time you put your shoes on.
Shock Zone The protruding area on the heel of the insole gives maximum shock absorption to the wearer.
High-Level Breathability OrthoLite’s open-cell PU foam is 95% to 100% breathable, allowing air to circulate in and around the insole, keeping the foot cooler inside the shoe.
Top Cloth (Fabric, Royal Blue) 100% PES, Knitted, 210 g/m2 + 10 g/m2. High abrasion resistant knitted fabric.
Moisture Management The unique open-cell structure of OrthoLite insoles creates a moisture management system, helping to move moisture away from the foot to provide a cooler, drier, healthier shoe environment. Antimicrobial Function A patented salt-based antimicrobial is added to all OrthoLite foams to fight against the presence of fungus, bacteria and odor. The antimicrobial inhibits the buildup of the bacterial fungi associated with the cause of odor. Washable OrthoLite insoles are machine washable, coming out like new every time while maintaining all of their performance benefits after washing. Lightweight OrthoLite insoles are lightweight, enhancing the performance of the shoes with airy comfort.

THE PROFESSIONAL’S CHOICE: sole technology Compatible with technically advanced insoles for optimum comfort
Choosing a Dual Density Injected Sole construction means you have a special application, for a job role that demands long lasting high abrasion resistance performance, flexibility and comfort. The injection method that squeezes the rubber material at high pressure into the sole mould at two different densities produces a permanent high strength bond between the upper and sole as the two parts are combined.
Protective midsole
This sole construction is suitable for fire fighting, public order, metal processing, and other specialist industrial applications that share the theme of danger or extreme environments day to day.
Air injected midsole
Specialised Rubber Compounds YDS produces many different rubber compounds mixed with chemicals to produce the best performance for the application. The material has a heat resistance of 300C and benefits from having a long shelf life. There are different formulas for improved slip resistance, weight, flexibility and use at different global temperatures. The rubber is formed into long strands and injected into the sole mould using the latest DESMA technology robots.
Upper/sole high bond strength
High abrasion resistance
High density compact rubber outsole
Midsole The midsole is a lower density rubber compound that has been injected with air bubbles. This material provides flexibility and shock absorption not found in direct vulcanized rubber soles. These properties increase ground contact for better slip resistance, stability and also provides cold and heat insulation improving the overall performance of the footwear for high risk applications. Outsole The outer part of the sole unit is high density compact rubber material with high abrasion resistance, protecting from nicks and cuts and durable properties lasting longer than PU alternatives.

THE LIGHT CHOICE: sole technology Hydrolysis of midsoles are not tested in accordance with EN, we do this as an additional check. The only way to test this is from plate material and not the finished product.
This direct injected sole choice allows for even greater flexibility and comfort from the instant they are used. Designed for lower risk lighter work roles PUR soles give the wearer superb comfort and lightness with a high grip outsole. This sole choice is suitable for those patrolling or inspecting over long distances and who need a heat resistant and high grip outsole. Materials This sole construction uses a high grade Hydrolysis+ PU compound designed to withstand the effects of hydrolysis breakdown which can occur in PU soles. The rubber compound used for the outsole is mixed in house and is formed into an outer skin ready to be combined with the midsole layer. Midsole The midsole is a soft PU compound. This material provides flexibility and shock absorption and is lighter in weight. These properties increase ground contact for better slip resistance and stability.
Outsole The outer part of the sole unit is high density compact rubber material with high abrasion resistance, protecting from nicks and cuts and durable properties lasting longer than PU alternatives.

FLEX TEST
CRUMPLE TEST
GORE-TEX® Footwear has to withstand up to 300,000 flexes (300 km/80 h) in ankle high water – no water entry allowed into the footwear from the outside.This is much stricter than EN ISO 20345/347, which requires: 1) 1,000 Flexes / 15 Minutes (Trough Test) and 2) 4,800 Flexes / 80 Minutes (DynamicTest) while 3cm2 water entry is allowed.
GORE-TEX® Footwear has to withstand 240 turns/min in the centrifuge without showing any leakage. Boots are filled with water and then spun at high speed. The huge centrifugal pressure will force the water out of the shoe or boot if there is any weakness or faults in the waterproof construction. Continual production: 2% of the daily production or three pairs of shoes per hour must be tested for 30 minutes. Prototype testing is for 60 minutes.
OUTER MATERIAL PROTECTIVE KNIT CROSSTECH® MEMBRANE
GORE-TEX® Footwear has to achieve a certain climate comfort value depending on the specific product class.
FUNCTIONAL NONWOVEN SPECIAL INNER LINING
The Whole Boot Comfort Test measures the breathablity of the whole boot. The effect of an ‘sweating’ artificial foot in the boot is simulated in a temperature controlled microclimate. The final climate comfort value of the tested GORE-TEX® footwear is determined based on the degree of water vapour diffusion and water vapour absorption of the boot.
