Sports shoe knowledge-transfer for BASF
Performance materials developer BASF has said it will have a concept shoe made entirely from its own material on show at the Simac footwear technology exhibition in Milan from September 20-22.
Other exhibits that the company intends to put on show at Simac include boots that will stay soft even at minus-40 degrees and light and high-rebound soles for safety shoes. It said high-rebound properties guarantee soft dampening effects, while lightweight soles are decisive for comfort.
