The Right Comfort For Every Step™
Footwear cushioning for the way you really move.
INSITE builds insoles, midsoles, and outsoles to help footwear brands achieve the world's best comfort, performance, and support.
We develop materials and components to engineer fit and cushioning for the way shoes are meant to be worn: straight out of the box, with no extras, and no compromise.
Quantified comfort—designed, tested, and delivered.
At INSITE, we believe that elite comfort belongs to everyone. Our ProvenComfort® method of design and testing uses many of the same tools found in the custom orthotics labs that serve college and professional athletes. This helps us build data-driven cushioning for the shoes you wear every day—so you can live, work, and play at your best.
Foams that keep you moving forward.
INSITE® footwear foams deliver cushioning benefits like shock absorption, high energy return, and lightweight breathability. Our foam innovations are constantly forging ahead, setting new standards in durable performance and plant-based content.
Data-driven shapes for precision footwear design.
Elevate your comfort with data-driven insole and midsole shapes to make the most of your foam benefits. Build patented, podiatrist-designed arch support directly into your footwear line with Contoura® insole and drop-in midsole applications, or keep a low profile with the form-fitting comfort of ArchRelief™ insoles. Our team will help you build the cushioning system that's right for your product.
Better foams for people, and the planet.
A core mission at INSITE is lowering our impact on the environment while enhancing insole durability and performance. We are proud to partner with plant-based suppliers like Susterra® Bio-PDO™ for many of our PU compounds, reducing our carbon emissions and non-renewable energy use.
