OrthoLite debuts breathable slow-recovery foam

Footwear comfort specialist OrthoLite has launched SloMo, a slow-recovery, breathable memory foam designed to deliver enhanced fit, adaptive pressure relief and improved airflow.

Building on the success of Eco-Impressions and Lazy, SloMo responds to rising demand for premium, customised comfort across lifestyle, fashion and performance footwear.

OrthoLite said the new formulation elevates the functional and sensory performance of memory foam, helping brands differentiate their products.

Powered by the company’s open-cell PU technology, SloMo offers consistent energy return and optimised recovery times.

Available in die-cut and moulded constructions, it can be used as a single- or dual-layer solution and in linings, tongues and other shoe components to create a 360-degree comfort experience.

Founder and CEO Glenn Barrett said: “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 presented SloMo at the Materials Show in Portland and Boston, and can also be seen at Lineapelle in Milan this September.
