The invention is directed to shaped articles fabricated from polyamides comprising fluoroether functionalized aromatic moieties. Particular polyamides include nylon 6, 6 and nylon 6 copolyamides that comprise fluoroether functionalized aromatic amide repeat units. The shaped articles hereof are characterized by reduced surface tension and are useful for imparting soil resistant films, molded parts, fibers, fabrics, and carpets.
