Sneakers were heavily inspired by sports shoes, designed more carefully than those for everyday wear. To them, designers added elegance, chic and original design. What technologies in sneakers make them comfortable? Let's check!
Ortholite is a technology used in sneakers created in 1997. Since then, most manufacturers of athletic footwear have started using it. This is not surprising, as it offers quite a few advantages:
Antibacterial properties - in the composition of the insole you will find patented salt-based antibiotics. They are responsible for effectively fighting bacteria and fungi. Thanks to this, they stop the formation of unpleasant odor inside the shoe.
Air permeability - more than 95% wicks moisture away from the inside of the shoe, so sneakers with this manufacturing technology will work well during exercise or long walks.
Optimal cushioning - the Ortholite insole absorbs shock while running and walking. It retains up to 95% thickness for many seasons.
Springiness - the foam padding is created from polyurethane foam, making the sports shoes very comfortable.
Memory Foam is another insole made of foam. This material was originally used mainly in NASA. Its special property is the memory of the shape of the user's foot. As a result, it provides a perfect fit and thus also increases walking comfort.
Memory Foam also offers excellent cushioning. It responds to pressure by absorbing shocks. After they stop, it quickly returns to its initial state. Shoes with such foam are durable and long-lasting, so you can enjoy them for a long time. The construction of the shoe remains lightweight, and is also soft and resilient.
This solution was originally dedicated to runners and was designed to provide them with comfort and protection against various injuries. How does AIR technology work? A special cushion filled with nitrogen (pressure of 1.75 bars) is placed in the sole of the footwear, which is tailored to the anatomical structure of the foot. This safety feature in sports shoes provides optimal cushioning and guarantees shock absorption. It also protects against the pressure exerted on muscles and joints, leveling the energy of impact. This allows you to spend more time on physical activity.
EVA foams are used in the soles of sports shoes. First of all, it provides high thermal insulation. You can wear such shoes all year round, regardless of the weather. What's more, EVA is also a lightweight and flexible material. Thanks to its low weight, it does not weigh down your feet, and on top of that it does not deform.
It's also worth knowing that the material was originally developed for medical use. This means that it does not contain dangerous or harmful substances. This makes it safe for your health, as well as for the environment.
This technology is used in sports, trekking and cycling shoes. It ensures waterproofness and windproofness. A high-porosity Teflon membrane is added to the footwear material. It protects the uppers of the shoes, so that they do not allow water and wind to pass inside.
The material also provides adequate air permeability. The shoes wick moisture to the outside of the shoe - so your feet don't sweat and you feel more comfortable using the shoes. Interestingly, this manufacturing technology is also used for jackets, pants or backpacks.
The above-mentioned technologies are the most popular, but this does not mean that you will not also meet other equally appreciated and liked technologies in sneakers. It is worth mentioning, first of all, such as:
Skech Air - in the rear part of the sole, an air cushion is included, which stabilizes the foot and ensures safety. Moreover, it improves walking comfort and absorbs impact energy, cushioning the shock. It protects muscles and joints from injury.
Climacool - a system created by the adidas brand, which consists of fabrics arranged in a three-dimensional mesh. It has different densities. Silver-doped threads are also interwoven in it, providing an antibacterial effect. They are perfect for warmer days, providing a feeling of coolness and no overheating of the feet.
Boost - foamed thermoplastic polyurethane, which is mainly used in running shoes. Such footwear is very resilient and durable.
Adiprene - protects and cushions the feet in the rear part of the sole. That's where there is a special foam that absorbs the force of pressure when walking.
As you can see, sneakers are sports shoes that use a lot of modern technology. Thanks to this, even in cold temperatures or during an intense workout, you will feel more freedom of movement and ensure the right level of body temperature. Which technology works best for you depends on your expectations and needs.
