CUSTOMIZING SOLES MADE EASY
With the help of the flowmould station, fitting the sole is made much easier. Regardless of whether you are an experienced boot fitter or an apprentice in the first year of training - thanks to the flowmould technology, everyone can manufacture a perfectly adapted sole.
The customer stands on the machine and can follow each of the individual adjustment steps live on the integrated tablet:
1) First, the sole is connected to the machine and heated directly in the core. That makes the sole soft and flexible
2) After the warm-up phase, the soft sole is pressed against the customer's arch from below using a gel cushion
3) The gel cushion is filled with a cooling liquid that also cools the sole during the adjustment
In less than five minutes, the customer has his perfectly fitted sole. An immense time saver for customers and salespeople.
THE FLOWMOULD SOLES
The special flowmould soles were developed in collaboration with specialists in sports orthopedics. The soles are prefabricated by hand, layer by layer. Depending on the area in which the sole is used, up to seven precisely matched components are connected to form a sole.
While a sole for dynamic movements, such as running, requires less flex (bending resistance), insoles for static movements, such as skiing, have a completely different requirement on the sole structure. That is why our flowmould soles are available in five different degrees of flex and with five different upper materials: merino, micro leather, comfort top, bamboo and mesh.
