Soft-heel material

[wolfv]

I had some men's dress shoes with a soft resilient heel.

What is this soft-heel material called and where can I get a sheet of it?

I want to get a 1" x 16" x 16" sheet of the material to make a seat.

I am looking for something a little softer than a wooden bench; upholstery foam is way too soft.

I have been to all three cobblers in my town and they do not have it.

 

Thank you.

It sounds like your after some EVA micro. Problem your going to have is the sheets are a lot larger than what you are after.

Perhaps someone on here can cut you off a piece to the size you require and charge you accordingly. Also it comes with a mesh pattern top (can be bought plain, but whether you will find someone who has it plain and will be willing to cut, post and invoice you a piece is questionable!)

If you want a full sheet (around 3.5' x 2.5') then google Edward Healy, GRS Footwear or Algeos they would all have it in stock.

 

Hope this helps.

eva micro will not be soft enough for a seat but your right in saying algeos will stock some material that will be ideal but once again it will only be available in larger sheet form

Thank you elfman and paul.

 

I found a source of EVA sheets - the local tool store sells 4-Piece interlocking Anti-Fatigue Foam-Mat Set. Its works well.
