The heat moldable insole is softened after heating and then stepped out of shape with the foot. After it cools, it is the insole that fits the foot perfectly. Therefore, the materials of heat moldable insoles need to meet the above conditions. Then, which materials can be used for the production of heat moldable insoles?
There are several materials that can be used for heat-moldable insoles. Some common examples include:
1. EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate)
It is a flexible and cushioning material that can be easily molded to conform to the shape of the foot when heated.
2. Memory foam
This material has the ability to soften and shape itself based on heat and pressure, making it a popular choice for heat-moldable insoles.
3. Cork
Cork is a natural material that can be easily molded when heated. It provides good support and cushioning for the feet.
4. Polyurethane
Polyurethane foam can be heated and molded to create customized insoles that offer comfort and support.
5. Gel
Gel insoles can be heated to conform to the shape of the foot. They provide additional cushioning and shock absorption.
These materials are often used in combination with each other or with other technologies to create heat-moldable insoles that offer optimal comfort and support.
