Sole Information

It’s a wonder of modern science that PU soles (polyurethane) are very light and hard-wearing. The downside of PU is that it disintegrates over time and when left unworn for long periods, starts to break down. A PU sole can last up to 5 years before this ageing process begins.

TR (thermoplastic rubber) is more durable and thus preferable to PU but becomes quite bulky/heavy when used on a thicker sole like a wedge for example.

Shoe manufacturers have no option but to use polyurethane (PU) due to the availability of suitable sole material. Hopefully, with the advance in technology, a better compound will be developed.

Rest assured, Froggie follows strict guidelines during the manufacturing process and our shoes adhere to the highest quality standards.
