A Little Bit About Emerica and the Sole Technology Institute
|
Emerica shoes are backed by an incredible skate team of over 14 skaters including
Erik Ellington, Heath Kirchart, Andrew Reynolds and Kevin "Spanky" Long.
Emerica fabrics, soles, interiors, tread patterns and support
are designed with true skateboarding function in mind.
The impact of the sport on a skater's body can be rigourous, the impact on the heel alone
from skateboarding is much greater than that caused by traditional running based sports,
some- times as much as 18% of the skaters body weight and higher, that's around 2500 lbs. of force!
Emerica, along with
etnies and
és,
is a member the Sole Technology Institute (STI). The
STI and it's members realize the importance of designing skateboard shoes
specifically to meet the special needs of skateboarding, rather than just borrowing designs
from other sports and then altering them just slightly for the skater, as some of the other skateboard shoes companies do.
Consequently, STI is focused on biomechanics research as it relates to skateboarding,
searching for new technologies that will help reduce the risk of injury without
compromising board feel, maneuverability or control. STI utilizes
a 10,000 sq. ft facility and the latest in state of the art testing equipment to
research, develop and test new technologies dedicated to improving performance while
reducing the risk of foot and ankle injury at the same time. The basics like handrails, stairs and ledges are
also used. New technologies and materials go through rigorous physical testing to determine
durability, flexibility, breathability, traction and impact support, all of which need
to be within very specific ranges for maximum performance.
For instance, there can be such a thing
as too much traction, over traction can cause too much friction, which can disrupt timing,
a problem for serious skaters. For maximum performance,
STI studies focus on finding
the right range of measurement for each performance factor and then builds the shoe components
to meet the needs of those demands.
Dedicated to the best in skate shoes technology, STI also incorporates research
and test results from other independent and university research studies into their final findings
for the best in skateboarding shoe footwear and one of the most comprehensive knowledge bases in skate shoes research.
