9. Sneaker soles and shoe inserts
Here, TPEs play the role of the workhorse of your athletic shoe – the inside core layer between the sole and the top of the shoe that does all of the heavy lifting. You love the supportive feel – it’s squishy and bounces back, and provides comfortable support for high-impact and weight-bearing activity. Aesthetically, it can be clear or colored for seasonal trends.
Removable gel inserts for heel cupping, plantar fasciitis support or comfort are also ‘shoe-ins’ for this kind of TPE application.
