Critical elements
Recovery and compression set are critical elements in the performance of footwear midsoles. If the foam midsole stays compressed and doesn’t “bounce back” sufficiently, a shoe’s ability to cushion the foot from repeated stresses can be severely impaired. Midsoles made with INFUSE™ OBC demonstrate strong recovery after several compression and release cycles. The downgauging of coextruded films – a nice sustainability advantage.
