OrthoLite® Launches SloMo™: A New Era in Breathable Memory Foam Innovation

OrthoLite®, the global leader in high-performance, comfort-driven footwear solutions, announces the launch of OrthoLite® SloMo™, a breakthrough in slow-recovery, breathable memory foam technology. This expansion of OrthoLite’s memory foam portfolio is a precisely engineered formulation that delivers enhanced fit, adaptive pressure relief, and optimized airflow for next-level step-in comfort.

Building on the success of OrthoLite® Eco-Impressions™ and OrthoLite® Lazy™, the new SloMo™ formulation is designed to meet growing consumer demand for premium, customized comfort in footwear. This latest innovation elevates the functional and sensory performance of memory foam, offering brand partners an innovative new option to differentiate their product offerings across lifestyle, fashion, and performance categories of footwear.

Powered by OrthoLite’s proprietary open-cell PU technology, SloMo™ delivers exceptional breathability, slow-recovery comfort, and consistent energy return. This new formulation is engineered with a defined Asker-C rating, optimized recovery times, and tailored tactile profiles—enabling brands to finely tune the underfoot experience across a wide range of footwear applications.

Available in both die-cut and molded constructions, OrthoLite® SloMo™ can be used as a single- or dual-layer solution. It provides a supportive, foot-cradling feel underfoot and is also ideal for use in linings, tongues, and other shoe components—delivering a 360-degree, custom-fit experience that breathes and elevates comfort across the entire shoe.

“This expanded memory foam offering gives our partners greater freedom to design comfort with intention,” said Glenn Barrett, Founder and CEO of OrthoLite. “With SloMo™, we’re pushing the boundaries of what memory foam can deliver, empowering footwear brands to meet evolving expectations with precision and innovation.”OrthoLite will showcase SloMo™ at the upcoming Materials Show in Portland and Boston, and at Lineapelle in Milan this September.
