Terrain & Construction
Trail & outdoor soles
Start trail and hiking development with the terrain and intended movement. Review tread layout, material candidates and component protection against a defined use and evaluation plan.
Start with
the right questions.
A trail-running brief and a hiking brief may prioritise different aspects of construction. Describe the expected ground conditions, walking or running use and reference geometry first. Easteed coordinates the review of outsole patterns, material choices and assembly options, with traction and durability claims reserved for the relevant tested construction.

| Application | Trail-running footwear development, Light-hiking and longer-distance walking briefs, Road-to-trail transition concepts |
| Specification | Defined with your brief, reference size and agreed evaluation methods. |
| Customisation | Material, geometry, colour, branding and construction reviewed by project. |
| Tooling & quantity | Existing or new tooling, size mix and order conditions confirmed after review. |
| Next step | Share references, priorities and the questions your sample should answer. |
Bring to the conversation
What we’ll define together.
- Terrain, expected conditions and movement profile
- Tread layout, lug geometry and dimensional tolerances
- Rubber material and agreed measurement methods
- Midsole geometry and material requirements
- Protection inserts and upper interface details
- Traction, wear, flex and bond evaluation plan
- Tooling permissions, size range and project volume
Keep the application in view
Trade-offs worth discussing.
- Compare rubber candidates using specified surfaces and conditions; one friction result does not establish suitability across all terrain.
- Review lug depth, spacing and geometry against the intended ground rather than treating a more aggressive pattern as universally better.
- Evaluate changes to rubber coverage or protective inserts as complete assembly revisions, including their effects on mass and flexibility.
Your starting questions.
- Which terrain and surface conditions are central to the intended use?
- Is the product primarily for running, hiking or mixed use?
- What protection, flexibility and component-mass priorities should be balanced?
- How will traction, wear and assembly integrity be assessed for the proposed construction?

Running ConstructionRunning sole systems
Develop a road-running sole around the runner, training purpose and intended construction. Review midsole geometry, outsole coverage and the upper interface as one specification.
Plate & AssemblyCarbon-plate systems
Explore plate integration as part of the complete sole system. Define the plate’s purpose, geometry, material and position alongside the surrounding foam and outsole.
