Midsoles for casual wear

As consumers become more conscious of the impact of an active lifestyle on overall health, shoes that we wear on a daily basis are expected to deliver better on ergonomics and comfort. Casual footwear manufacturers can rely on the qualities of olefin-based polymers such as ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers (POEs) that are often blended with EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate)-based foams to enhance performance and processing. In addition, INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) and ENERLYTE™ Polyurethane Elastomer are added to produce midsoles with greater levels of comfort.
