So Much More Than Foam
Insole Materials That Go a Step Further
INSITE®’s innovative insole materials and foam technologies are engineered to support our mission of comfort, performance and support. Using plant-based compounds and sustainable manufacturing methods, INSITE foams are better for the planet, while enhancing our ergonomic benefits.
INSITE EcoComfort™ foams are made with a percentage of plant-based compounds and engineered to mimic the cushioning and responsiveness of human foot tissue. Through our biomechanics research and testing methods, INSITE selects and refines the ideal EcoComfort™ foam for your insole’s shape and function.

Plant-Based Materials
Be planet-forward with insoles enhanced with 25% plant-based content. Our plant-based compounds are made using bio-propanediol (PDO), derived from industrial field corn. This remarkable compound not only makes the insole more sustainable, it improves its overall flexibility and rebound, thanks to its unique chemical structure.
Excellent rebound and cushioning
Moisture-resistant
Durable
Ultra-breathable
Lightweight underfoot comfort

Solution-dyed Textiles
The sustainability doesn’t stop with our foams. INSITE Insoles use a DuraDye™ solution dyeing process for top cover textiles with a cleaner, more sustainable coloring process. Solution-dyed textiles add color to the yarn as it’s being spun, rather than using a dye bath after the fabric is already woven. This results in a near elimination of wastewater, as well as dramatic energy and CO2 savings.
Streamlined insole replacement
Available in both die-cut and molded applications, our material compounds can be easily made to fit exactly to the needs of your project.
