Aerotherm due to it’s remarkable properties (no loss of thermal protection under compression) is extremely effective in footbeds, insoles.
Basic footwear insulation aerogel pads - insole shape, toe and heel caps:
AEROGEL INSOLES - 2 times better insulation
3D arched insole, top - PU foam. bottom - Aerotherm insulation pad with reflective foil
Thermography
- A hiking boot was heated from the inside to a temperature of about 95°C for about 20 minutes.
- An IR image of the bottom of the boot (outsole) was recorded.
- Two setups were tried:
- Boot with footbed and no aerotherm aerogel insulation.
- Boot with aerotherm aerogel footbed.
- When looking at the depressions in the lug pattern, less heat loss is seen with the aerogel footbed vs. the foam footbed.
