Hello 
I am new here and need some advice.
I got a shoe made (see below) and wonder what Carbon fibre material was used?
I am a bit disappointed that it does not have the typical woven look.
Did they try to safe money?
Is the strength at least still the same?
Thanks a mil in advance
Hendrik

That's a biaxial carbon. Theoretically it will be a bit stronger than the woven, though in the real world I'm not sure it will make any difference for the application - especially given they've done a fairly poor job of laying it up and the fibres have been distorted.

It is certainly a strange choice of layup, it looks very haphazard and lazy to me.

Thank you for this insight. I presume he used it to save costs and labour. It's a real ashame as he is advertising his shoes with the typical woven pattern(see below). I just read that biaxial is normally used as backing. Is that correct? Thanks again

     If he is advertising them with a specific woven finish all over, then the product you receive should match - so you may want to take it up with the seller. However, read the small print in his...

     It's a lot of fibre to take off, it would certainly affect the strength. Whether the thing has been engineered to calculated load tolerances is another matter, it's possible you could flatten that ou...
