PALADIN has been a pioneer in industrial safety footwear innovation since 1989, delivering EN ISO 22568-3-certified stainless steel midsoles trusted by professionals in over 100 countries. Engineered specifically for PVC and PU work boots, these midsoles redefine workplace protection with uncompromising durability and compliance. Beyond basic protection, our plates are designed for exceptional size compatibility. We provide a comprehensive full-size matching guide, ensuring these inserts perfectly align with various shoe lasts. The specialized surface treatment applied to the metal enhances adhesion during both injection molding and cold bonding processes, preventing delamination over time. Furthermore, this surface synergy is fully compatible with antistatic footwear requirements, ensuring that the finished boot maintains its electrical discharge properties while offering maximum puncture defense.
Full compliance with EN ISO 22568-3 is maintained through our independent laboratory and rigorous quality control protocols. Every batch is tested from raw material to finished product to guarantee absolute consistency. The plates achieve 1,000,000+ Flex Resistance, ensuring long-term flexibility without cracking under repeated foot movement. They deliver Zero Penetration Resistance, blocking sharp hazards like nails and jagged debris with ≥1100N puncture resistance. Additionally, the inherent Corrosion Resistance of the stainless steel construction prevents rust, even when exposed to humid, wet, or chemical-heavy environments.
Made from 0.50mm premium-grade stainless steel, these midsoles strike an optimal balance between lightweight ergonomics and extreme resilience. The cool, smooth metallic finish is engineered to withstand immense pressure, making them ideal for demanding sectors like construction, mining, oil/gas, and agriculture. Embedded precisely between the insole and outsole, they provide full-foot protection while helping the final footwear product meet strict EN ISO 20345 standards.
Backed by 30+ Years of Expertise, PALADIN’s legacy of manufacturing excellence ensures consistent performance across extreme climate conditions and heavy usage scenarios. We offer highly popular, proven models tailored for diverse industrial needs: the 1160 (standard fit for general work boots), the 1180 (heavy-duty profile for extreme environments), and the 10910 (slim profile for specialized footwear designs).
We provide direct manufacturer pricing with no middlemen involved, offering premium safety components at highly competitive rates. This direct-to-manufacturer model allows footwear brands to elevate their product safety ratings without inflating their production budgets.
Our supply chain is built for efficiency and reliability, designed to lower procurement risks for large-scale manufacturing operations. The midsoles are securely packed at 100 pairs/box, utilizing reinforced, moisture-resistant cartons that protect the metallic integrity during long-haul sea or air freight. We operate with a standard MOQ of 10,000 pairs, and our optimized production lines can guarantee 100,000 pairs delivered in 20 days. To further support your procurement process, we offer free sample testing so your engineering team can verify the fit and adhesion before mass production. Combined with flexible payment terms and a comprehensive after-sales support system, we ensure a smooth, predictable inventory flow for your assembly lines.
Beyond standard offerings, PALADIN stands out through exceptional OEM/ODM customization capabilities. We understand that every footwear brand has unique design languages and functional requirements. Our engineering team supports custom mold development based directly on your specific shoe lasts, ensuring an exact dimensional match for proprietary boot shapes.
Material Superiority: Unlike carbon steel alternatives that degrade over time, PALADIN’s stainless steel midsoles completely avoid rust, consistently pass all EN tests, and retain their structural flexibility even after years of use.
Global Compliance: Every plate meets stringent EU, ASTM, and CSA standards for workplace safety, facilitating your entry into international markets.
Trusted by Industry Leaders: Chosen repeatedly by top safety footwear brands for critical hazard environments where failure is not an option.
While our premium stainless steel is inherently rust-resistant, we recommend storing the boxed midsoles in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse environment away from direct exposure to industrial chemicals or extreme moisture to maintain optimal surface adhesion properties for injection molding.
Each batch undergoes strict evaluation in our independent laboratory using calibrated testing spikes driven into the metal plate at specific velocities, strictly adhering to the ISO EN22568-3:2019 protocol to ensure the force required to puncture the steel always exceeds 1100 Newtons.
Our standard production capacity guarantees 100,000 pairs delivered in 20 days. However, for urgent requirements, our flexible supply chain and extensive raw material inventory often allow us to expedite specific models like the 1160 or 1180. Please consult our service team to discuss expedited scheduling.
