Why cork + EVA
-
All-day comfort: EVA core cushions impact; cork adds gentle rebound and pressure distribution.
-
Stable support: Holds shape with low compression set—ideal for arch fills and postings.
-
Dry & fresh feel: Cork manages moisture naturally and is odor-resistant.
-
Trim-to-fit friendly: Cuts cleanly; available with printed size grid.
-
Lightweight & quiet: Reduces shoe weight and squeak versus rigid plastics.
-
Sustainability: Cork is harvested from renewable bark; in-plant EVA offcuts can be recycled.

Quick FAQ
Can you match our clinic’s firmness and color?
Yes—target Shore C and Pantone or a physical chip. Zonal durometer available.
Do you offer finished, ready-to-sell insoles?
Absolutely—full-length and ¾, trimmed to EU/US/UK size runs with retail packaging.
Can these be recycled?
Cork is renewable; EVA offcuts are recycled in-plant. Post-use options depend on local facilities.
What files do you need for custom milling?
DXF/STL/CAD with thickness map and material stack. If only minor edits are needed, sample production typically starts within two weeks.
