When choosing shoes, we often pay attention to the quality of leather, seams, accessories. But the sole is left without attention — but in vain! After all, the safety and durability of shoes depend on the sole.
The main materials used for the production of the soles of IRIDIS children’s shoes are TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and PU (polyurethane).
TPE is a material that combines the properties of rubber and thermoplastic. Great for the production of winter and insulated shoes.
TPE outsole advantages:
Retains elasticity at different temperature conditions;
Excellent heat retention
sufficiently resistant to chemicals that are used for winter roads;
Well cushioned and has a moderate weight;
strong and durable;
TPE material is quite environmentally friendly and does not cause allergic reactions;
With the correct tread pattern, it has anti-slip properties.
PU outsole is mainly used for warm season shoes. Polyurethane is a material with high porosity, which gives it the main plus for shoes — it’s lightness. The tread on the PU outsole does not have clear edges and is, as it were, slightly blurred.
The polyurethane outsole has good cushioning, which is important for health. PU is quite wear-resistant material and will serve you for a long time.
An important point is that the type of sole corresponds to the purpose of the shoes made. What is a plus for summer shoes may not be suitable for winter.
The photo shows shoes of the IRIDIS brand, in which there are models with soles made of TPE and PU.
