Sorbothane in News & Media

Sorbothane, Inc. announced today – for the first time – they will be exhibiting at The Running Event in Austin, Texas. The complete line of Sorbothane® Comfort & Performance Insoles will be available at the show for evaluation.

Sorbothane, Inc. perfected a multiple layer production molding system. This allowed for a rigid mounting plate to be integrated with the solid Sorbothane® recoil pad. KICK-EEZ® Sorbothane® Recoil Pads have been independently tested and found to reduce more recoil than any other pad on the market. Sorbothane® absorbs more impact and recovers fully for the next shot. KICK-EEZ® Pads are made of solid Sorbothane® which allows them to be custom ground for a perfect fit. KICK-EEZ® Sorbothane® Recoil Pads are available in Pre-Fit, Grind To Fit, Slip Over, Multi- Layer and even patriotic red, white and blue pads.

Sorbothane® is a unique material that cradles the foot in comfort and helps protect the entire body by absorbing up to 94.7% of impact shock. Unlike many standard insole materials, which can bottom out and lose effectiveness, Sorbothane® performs even in extreme conditions. Durable and long lasting, Sorbothane® Performance Insoles retain their cushioning comfort significantly longer than other insoles on the market. Sorbothane® insoles are an excellent choice for anyone who walks, runs, works, plays sports or spends time on their feet.
