INSITE is ready to rock the footwear industry once again at the NW Materials Show on September 2-3, 2026 at the Oregon Convention Center. This summer, we’re bringing the party to Portland with new materials, new components, and new frontiers in sustainable foam. In fact, we’re keeping some of the biggest product news a secret until you come to the booth, so you don’t want to miss this one!
Here’s what you can expect at INSITE Booth #719 as you plan for your NW Materials Show visit.
By now, you’re probably familiar with the ProvenComfort biomechanics testing at the foundation of INSITE product development. If you haven’t had a chance to visit the INSITE R&D in Los Angeles to see it done in person, don’t worry: we’re bringing the testing to you!
Join us at the INSITE booth for a live demonstration of our core ProvenComfort tests, and have your own personal Q&A with the footwear biomechanics testing team. They’re eager to talk about your upcoming projects and how you can optimize them for comfort, performance, and support with INSITE engineered cushioning.

Our foam catalog just got a big makeover. To help you prepare for FW28, it features 12 of our most popular insole foams, including high energy return products like Levation™ Rebound Poured PU and Pulsion® Ignite ETPU. Our new catalog format makes it easier to test and interact with each foam, individually packaged using larger foam swatches—plus a convenient box sleeve to keep things organized in your material library.
Stay tuned for a new Foam Guide on the website that will help you discover the right insole foam for your project. And if you don’t want to carry things home in your suitcase, we can always have foam samples sent to your office. Just ask, and we’ll set up the delivery!
INSITE believes sustainability and performance go hand-in-hand, so we’re always exploring new ways to collaborate with our Tier 3 partners. Join us for a special seminar on Wednesday, September 2nd in conference room D138 in collaboration with Covation® Biomaterials. You’ll get an exclusive look at new PU footwear materials in flight with INSITE Innovation, using new high-performance Xatryx® polyols made from agricultural byproducts to replace petrol chemistry.
Seminar times and invitations are coming soon. Be sure you’re signed up for the INSITE newsletter to get them!
Last but not least, INSITE Innovation is excited to take you into the future with a groundbreaking PU foam product that sets a new benchmark for sustainability. You can be the first to experience it—but only at the INSITE booth in Portland.
