Kimpur has been developing specially formulated polyurethane systems for the production of all types of shoe soles and footwear systems for many years.
Our footwear product group, known as KIMfoot® Footwear Systems, offers a wide variety of solutions and is divided into different categories based on their areas of use. These systems are developed to meet the specific requirements of each sub-group and can be applied using injection or casting machines.
Kimpur, which also develops customized systems for its customers, offers a footwear product range that can be generally used in the production of the following items:
Sole Systems
Kimpur has developed a wide variety of sole systems tailored to different customer demands and product usage conditions.
In addition to being comfortable, lightweight, and ergonomic, the sole material must also be durable, non-slip, stylish, and available in different colors. All systems developed within the KIMfoot® product family are designed by testing key performance criteria such as hardness, abrasion resistance, and flex resistance.
These systems can be customized according to the user’s production line and process conditions, and include the following types:
- Spring-Summer-Winter Sole Systems (generally three-component)
- Compact Sole
- Wood-Imitation Sole
The system typically consists of:
- Component A: Polyester-based
- Component A1: Additive package including catalyst, silicone, etc.
- Component B: MDI-based prepolymer

Safety Shoe Sole Production
Safety shoes are designed to protect our feet from potential hazards depending on the working environment.
Today, many workplace injuries occur due to the absence of safety shoes or the use of inadequate or unsuitable footwear.
To ensure comfort and long-lasting use in both heavy industries (such as mining, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, energy, defense, and chemical industries) and light industry production areas, safety footwear must offer key features such as lightness, flexibility, shock absorption, abrasion resistance, and slip resistance.
Polyurethane is considered the most suitable material for the production of safety shoes, as it can provide all of these features simultaneously.
- Single / Double Density

Boot Systems
Kimpur has developed KIMfoot® double-density polyurethane-based boot systems, which are designed to be practical and comfortable thanks to their flexibility and compliance with EN ISO 20345:2012 and EN 61340-5-1 standards.

Insole (Fusbet) Systems
Comfortable insole production starts with the right material selection. Polyurethane is the most preferred material not only for outsole production but also for insole manufacturing thanks to its durability, lightness, high slip resistance, and antibacterial properties. Due to its porous, sponge-like structure, polyurethane allows air circulation inside the shoe, helping the feet to breathe.
To enhance footwear comfort, Kimpur has developed KIMfoot® Fusbet Systems, which are two-component, polyether-based solutions used in insole applications.
