Footwear
Polyurethane is the workhorse midsole material in modern footwear, balancing light weight, cushioning and durability.
Overview
Every Step, Engineered in Foam.
Polyurethane systems are poured and moulded into midsoles and insoles, where the foam must absorb impact, recover its shape and stay light over thousands of steps. Density and hardness can be tuned to the intended feel of the shoe.
