Envalior Arnitel TPC boosts performance of norda’s trail running shoes

Envalior has partnered with norda, a Montreal-based trail running shoe company, to deliver the 005 ultra distance super shoe. The midsoles are made with Arnitel, a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPC), and the soleplates are made of Vibram Mega Grip Elite rubber soleplate.

norda’s 005 trail running shoe is made of Envalior’s Arnitel TPC, Vibram Mega Grip Elite rubber, bio-based Dyneema and recycled nylon.

 

norda 005 trail running shoe

 

Norda’s 005 has a resiliency of approximately 80.6% – a first in the trail running shoe market — and weighs only 211g (for men’s size 8.5) and 177g (for women’s size 8). The shoe also offers a full stack height midsole, the amount of material between your feet and the ground, and a Carbon plate is not required thanks to using 100% Arnitel for the midsole.  

 

The 005 has been available to consumers since Spring 2025. Additionally, the norda 001/003 mainline of footwear will transition to Arnitel midsoles in 2025. 

 

Arnitel TPC for midsoles

 

Arnitel demonstrates benchmark resiliency, strength and mechanical property retention while elevating product sustainability, delivers durability and performance in the 005 shoe.

 

Arnitel is soft to the touch with a lightweight structure and rubber-like strength and flexibility. Compared to TPU, midsoles made from Arnitel demonstrate a 17% higher rebound. The TPC also exhibits extremely low energy loss after foaming, enhancing the wear performance of midsoles to ensure shoes offer reliable foot support during intense physical activities.

 

With its versatile processing capabilities for physical and other traditional foaming technologies, the material is optimized for producing state-of-the-art low-carbon midsoles. The Arnitel-based midsoles can also be recycled and are available in low carbon footprint and/or renewable source/biobased grades.

 

Vibram Mega Grip Elite rubber for soleplate

 

The shoe’s soleplate is engineered with Vibram Litebase technology to conserve energy and enhance performance with a 30% reduction in overall sole weight. The Vibram Mega Grip Elite rubber delivers trail runners superior durability, traction, and the strongest possible grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

 

Bio-based Dyneema for upper portion

 

The upper portion of the 005 is made of an exclusive proprietary weave of almost entirely bio-based Dyneema and recycled nylon, creating the strongest, lightest, and most responsible trail shoe upper ever made. The weight is less than 90g/m2 and +3000N warp and weft tear strength.
