Hong Kong-based component solutions provider Texon International has launched a new high performance, recyclable stiffener technology that is said to be up to 25% lighter and 40% thinner than conventional stiffeners.

According to the company, Texon Force produces a significantly stronger heel counter and box toe puff with less weight, delivering the right amount of structure, shape, comfort and support where it is most required, making it an “ideal” solution for performance footwear, and especially running and trekking shoes, where weight and gauge reduction are an advantage. It is also said to be suitable for dress and casual shoes with improved topline and shape retention.
