Sports Shoes

Nowadays sports shoes have become products of advanced technology aimed at optimally supporting the complex interplay of muscles, bones and ligaments in the foot: The material must be able to cushion impact, stabilize the foot on recovery, withstand high stresses, and counteract the effects of pressure on the push-off whether it's summer or winter. In addition to the shape of the shoe especially the material plays a starring role. Polyamide 12 elastomers VESTAMID® E have the right combination of flexibility and stability to meet all required criteria for manufacturing outer soles of top-quality sports shoes, components of ski shoes and ski or snowboard boots.

  • The flexibility and elasticity of finished soles can be systematically adjusted over a wide range by a combination of design and optimal choice of material.
  • Functional elements and absorbers retain their shape even under high stress.
  • Soles and shoe parts are not deformed, thanks to the excellent resilience of VESTAMID® E.
  • The low density as compared with that of competitors' materials is especially valuable in lightweight ski-shoe parts and ski boots, but is also an advantage in, for example, the soles of running shoes.
  • The toughness, impact strength, and rigidity of VESTAMID® E are hardly affected by temperature: constancy of the properties of the sports shoes are thus ensured.
  • Because the compounds are readily processed, easily colored, and excellent for printing, they allow implementation of innovative design ideas and the best possible brand display.
