A historic patent

A key step: vulcanization

From as early as the 15th century, latex has been used in South America to design certain everyday objects to be nearly completely waterproof.

The vulcanization process allows us to transform rubber so that it can withstand variations in temperature without becoming brittle in cold or sticky in heat. In the 19th century, rubber became widely used to make tyres. Hiram Hutchinson, the founder of Aigle, acquired the patent - a key step in his belief in the future of rubber shoes.
