Know About Sole Materials Of Safety Shoes (Part 3)

In two previous articles I have introduced you to the pros and cons of rubber soles, polyurethane soles, BPU soles and EVA soles and recommended an online shop that sells mainly high quality safety footwear. Today, we will continue to take you through two new materials for safety shoe soles and I hope these articles will be more helpful to you.

Understanding the materials used in safety shoes will allow us to choose more reliable safety shoes. When buying safety shoes, many people also focus on the appearance of safety shoes, especially safety shoes for women, so if we know these basics when choosing fashionable safety shoes, we can avoid choosing shoes that are too much about appearance and too little about the protection of the feet.

MD soles

This is the collective name for MODEL or PHYLON flying dragon, made from EVA one-off foam moulding. It is soft, high elasticity, good thermal performance, lightweight, elastic, delicate appearance, easy to clean. MD sole safety shoes hardness, density, tension, tearing, elongation rate is good, but wear resistance is poor, not conducive to environmental protection, high temperature is easy to wrinkle, easy to shrink, durability is poor, use too long its shock absorption will be reduced, breathability is poor.

TPR soles

TPR is a broad generic term that includes TPV, SEBS, SBS, TPO, TPU, EVA, etc. TPR soles are mainly a common name for SBS-modified shoe materials, which are one of the applications of TPR materials. It has the properties of rubber and can be processed and recycled according to thermoplastic, is more wear-resistant, easy to shape and cheap; safety shoes made of TPR sole material are light, comfortable, highly elastic, easy to stain, breathable and high strength, especially excellent low temperature resistance, high coefficient of friction and strong grip, but will slip when in contact with oil-based solvents. The material is heavy, non-abrasive, poorly soft, not resistant to folding, poor shock absorption and poor breathability.
