Components Counter Lining
Counter linings are used inside the heel area of the shoe and are designed to prevent the foot slipping in the shoe whilst walking.

- Material can also be used as linings in bags, belts and other leather goods
Components Reinforcement
Most commonly used in the eyelet area but products are available for vamp reinforcement and other areas of the shoe.

Sustainability 1. Repurposing Waste Plastics
We collect and recycle our customers’ skeletal waste after cutting components from our sheets and in addition we divert more than 500 tonnes of European post industrial food-grade plastic waste from land fill each year.
Sustainability 2. Reprocessing (UK)
The Milspeed patented process begins at Bourton-on-the-Water, where complex formulations are used to reprocess 100% of all waste, combining it with virgin plastics to produce quality controlled recycled pellets.
Sustainability 3. Manufacturing Excellence (UK)
The recycled plastic granules are blended with virgin granules in various formulations and processed into sheets in our world-leading, tri-laminate extrusion plant.
Sustainability 4. Minimal Footprint
Through continual environmental auditing and constant development we use low carbon raw materials and processes to produce what we believe to be the most environmentally friendly products on the market.
Sustainability 5. Traceable Product DNA
In addition to collecting the cutting scrap from our customers, all other plastic that we use is only from the fully traceable sources and provenance, so that we can be sure to comply with your RSL.
Materially Different
Our approach to providing a superior product is materially different. Not only in the innovative makeup and constituent properties of our components, but in the way we go about everything we do. From our SATRA tested assured quality, to our ability to develop a product from 100% reprocessed materials*.
Up To 100% Reprocessed Materials
