PerseveranX
Open-Cell Polyurethane Foams
Open-cell foams are ideal for footwear cushioning due to their ability to compress and instantly recover their original shape. The open cell structure allows the foam to:
Provide consistent cushioning and support over extended use.
Maintain comfort without degrading or bottoming out.
Bounce back to its original state after compression.
EVA, Memory Foam, Gel, Polyurethane
Closed-Cell Material
Closed-cell foams, often used in cheaper footwear, have a different cell structure that causes them to slowly break down under compression. This leads to:
Gradual loss of cushioning as cells rupture
Inability to recover original shape and support
Discomfort and lack of support over time
For long-lasting cushioning, the open-cell structure of PerseveranX foams is far superior to closed-cell foams that quickly degrade with use. PerseveranX ensures your feet stay comfortably supported through its durable, resilient cushioning.
Open-Cell Polyurethane Foams PERSEVERANX VS. Open-Cell Polyurethane Foams PERSEVERANX
| Open-Cell Polyurethane Foams PERSEVERANX | Closed Cell Material (EVA, Memory Foam, Gel, Closed-Cell Polyurethane) | |
|---|---|---|
| Consistent Cushioning | React to compression like a spring, instantly returning to the original position without degradation, ensuring consistent cushioning. | Generally stiffer and less conforming, which can lead to discomfort in footwear applications. |
| Compression Set Resistance | Designed to retain its cushioning properties and maintain its original shape even after repeated use over an extended period. | Prone to compression set over time as trapped air bubbles rupture, leading to a gradual loss of cushioning and support. |
| Breathability | Interconnected cell structure allows air and moisture vapor to flow through, providing breathability and maintaining a comfortable environment inside the shoe. | Non-interconnected cell structure prevents air and moisture flow, potentially creating an uncomfortable environment inside the shoe. |
| Softness and Conformity | Softer and more easily compressible, conforming better to the shape of the foot for improved comfort. | Stiffer and less compressible, failing to conform to the shape of the foot, leading to discomfort. |
| Sustainability | Plant-based materials are added, reducing carbon footprint and enhancing performance. | Synthetic materials are used, increasing carbon footprint and diminishing performance. |
