A curious takeover has been happening underfoot. If you’re a runner, you may be familiar with EVA, the squishy, foamy material that gives your shoes that shock-absorption capacity. For decades, EVA was relegated to the midsole layer of your sneaker. But over the past five years or so, the material has transcended fitness and taken over a much
larger chunk of the footwear industry—namely the sandal.
These days it seems as if every brand has its own version of an EVA sandal or slide. There’s Birkenstock’s EVA Arizona (a foam version of the brand’s signature sandal), Teva’s Hurricane sandal, and Nike’s Calm Slide. The list goes on and on.
Indeed, the global EVA market is growing rapidly. It accounted for more than $11 billion in 2023 and is expected to surpass $19 billion by 2032. According to a recent report, the demand for comfortable, lightweight footwear (particularly in the athletic and casual markets) is a significant driver for this growth.
If you are a EVA shoemaker or sole maker, and you want to catch onto this growth ride, Huadu EVA Two-Color Foaming Machine is your ideal solution that will enable you to manufacture all kinds of EVA shoes and soles and grow your business.
