SOLE'S ACTIVE WIDE FOOTBED, $45
is designed for wide footwear. The ethylene-vinyl acetate
collection, which features a wide toe box, has three styles:
Active Wide Thin, Active Wide Medium and Active Wide Thick.
SORBOTHANE'S ULTRA PLUS INSOLE features
a deep heel cup for support, a lightweight
integrated arch for stability and the comfort
and protection of a Sorbothane Heel Pad
and extended Sorbothane Forefoot Pad.
Sorbothane is a proprietary material that can
absorb up to 94.7 percent of damaging impact
shock before it enters the body. NASA uses it
because to control vibration and shock.
GORE INVISIBLE FIT TECHNOLOGY is a new
way for footwear manufacturers to integrate
a protective GORE-TEX membrane in running
shoes. (Such as the Saucony Ride GTX, at
left). Shoes that use GORE Invisible Fit offer
protection in inclement weather and the fit
and feel of non-protective running shoes. With
GORE Invisible Fit, the GORE-TEX membrane
is engineered to bond to a variety of athletic
footwear uppers. By matching the GORE-TEX
membrane to the footwear upper material,
wrinkles and folds are eliminated, reducing
pressure points. Reduced weight, less water
pick-up and faster drying times are among the
other benefits.
SUPERFEET'S ME3D INSOLES, $150
are 3D printed after the FitStation, powered by HP, analyzes the
way the customer's feet move and interact with the ground and
offers off-the-shelf shoe recommendations, 3D printed insoles and
polyurethane-injected mid-soles.
