When comfort is the objective, OrthoLite has once again pushed this footwear category forward with the launch of OrthoLite® SloMo™, a breakthrough in slow-recovery, breathable memory foam.
OrthoLite® SloMo™ is a precisely engineered formulation that delivers a dialed-in fit, adaptive pressure relief, and optimized airflow for that “ahhh” moment every time you step in. It joins two other comfort-forward options, Eco-Impressions™ and Lazy™, in OrthoLite’s memory foam collection.
Three Memory Foam Formulations: Endless Comfort
OrthoLite® SloMo™ (New!)
A breakthrough built for brands requiring precision comfort. Powered by our signature open-cell PU technology, OrthoLite® SloMo™ is a brand new, memory foam formulation that provides a supportive, foot-cradling feel underfoot exceptional breathability, slow-recovery plushness, and consistent energy return.
Even better? Our technology and partnership gives footwear brands the power to dial in the exact in-shoe feel they want in memory foam insoles and other shoe components.
How? SloMo™ is engineered with a defined Asker-C rating, optimized recovery times, and tailored tactile profiles. With a process built for efficiency and results, we co-create with our brand partners to finely tune the underfoot experience across a wide range of footwear applications.
SloMo™ elevates in-shoe feel and the function so brands can stand out in lifestyle, fashion, and performance footwear alike.
Available in both die-cut and molded constructions. OrthoLite® SloMo™ can be used as a single- or dual-layer solution in: insoles, linings, tongues, and other shoe components to deliver a 360-degree, custom-fit experience.
OrthoLite® Eco-Impressions™
Slow recovery meets planet-minded innovation. OrthoLite® Eco-Impressions™ provides immediate plush and breathable step-in comfort that molds to the foot for a truly custom fit over time. The formulation uses 55% eco-content, 50% of which is castor bean bio-oil.
Eco Impressions™ is ideal as a top layer over a firmer OrthoLite® base for a cradled, supportive, and cushioned in-shoe feel, and a lining foam when seeking a whole shoe, custom-fit feel.
OrthoLite® Lazy™
Deliciously cushy and perfect for lifestyle silhouettes, OrthoLite® Lazy™ provides laid-back luxury when immediate step-in comfort is the goal. Contrary to its name, the Lazy™ formulation is anything but lethargic. With a recovery return rate of merely 3 to 5 seconds, this top layer rebounds as soon as the foot is removed.
Lazy™ is best used as a top layer atop a firmer OrthoLite® base layer to create maximum cushioning and comfort in a breathable application.
OrthoLite Forges Forward
The Memory Foam collection shows how OrthoLite continues to lead with innovations that help footwear brands deliver customized, extraordinary underfoot experiences. Memory foam may have been around for decades, but OrthoLite transformed what it could be by pioneering its breathability and solving the heat-trapping, swampy downside that traditional memory foams could never overcome.
