CAMBRIDGESHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, June 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Coats Footwear, a division of global thread and structural components leader Coats Group PLC, today launched its comprehensive Insole Solutions portfolio - an important milestone in advancing sustainable innovation for the footwear industry.

Thoughtfully engineered to meet the evolving needs of footwear brands and their manufacturing partners, the range offers high-performance, safety-focused, eco-conscious insole solutions optimised for performance sports, lifestyle footwear and workwear applications.

Drawing on Coats’ deep expertise and global manufacturing footprint, the portfolio brings together a wide selection of technically advanced insole solutions that can improve the sustainability credentials of footwear, while delivering exceptional comfort and performance.

Holger Hoffmann, Global Head of Cellulose and Channel Sales at Coats Footwear, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and our Insole Solutions portfolio is a direct reflection of that ethos. Our new insole range combines eco-conscious materials with cutting-edge performance, offering manufacturers smarter, safer, and more sustainable options.”

As consumers demand more from their footwear – beyond just style – factors like all-day comfort, breathability, performance, and ethical manufacturing have become non-negotiable. Insoles, being in direct contact with the foot and often visible, play a pivotal role in shaping the wearer’s comfort and brand perception.

“Today’s consumers expect comfort, performance, and sustainability - all in one product,” added Holger Hoffmann. “Our new insole portfolio not only addresses these needs but also gives manufacturers a wide range of options tailored to their specific market segments. It reflects the strength of our innovation capabilities and our dedication to support a more responsible footwear industry.”

Sustainability: Insole Solutions products are made using bio-based and recycled materials that utilize a special process that reduces environmental impact. This aligns with growing demand for eco-friendly solutions and supports brands working towards circularity and sustainability targets.

Performance: From sports shoes to safety boots, Insole Solutions provide superior comfort, durability, and breathability. Engineered for high-performance applications, products are tailored for different construction methods including strobel-lasted, cement-lasted, and Goodyear welted footwear.

Safety: Designed with advanced safety features such as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) options - conductive, antistatic, and insulative Insole Solutions can help ensure compliance in demanding work environments while maintaining wearer comfort and protection.
