'AVALON' Duo, a new soling material combining the advantages of design durability and comfort, is making its debut at this year's SIMAC.This premium composite soling material from Huntsman Polyurethanes, allies the outstanding wear and flex properties of 'AVALON' Soft thermoplastic polyurethane (cast or injected) for the outsole with the comfort and lightness of polyurethane for the midsole.

The versatile 'AVALON' Duo offers a range of benefits, including perfect surface definition, matt finish, shiny and glossy end effects, slip and abrasion resistance, shock absorption, cold flex properties and thermal insulation.
