Ping Pong Nylex" for sports shoes is actually a hot melt sheet or stiffener used in the toe puff and heel counter to provide shape structure and support without deformation. It is a thermoplastic material that is lightweight offers good elasticity and breathability and is resistant to water and wear. Heat is applied to activate its adhesive properties allowing it to bond firmly to the shoe's upper.
Key Characteristics
- Structure and Support:
- When heated the ping pong sheet becomes pliable and can be molded to form the toe puff (the protective front of the shoe) and the heel counter (the stiff back part).
- Elasticity:
- It is designed to maintain its shape and is resistant to deformation providing a stable and supportive fit for the foot.

When heated the ping pong sheet becomes pliable and can be molded to form the toe puff (the protective front of the shoe) and the heel counter (the stiff back part).
It is designed to maintain its shape and is resistant to deformation providing a stable and supportive fit for the foot.
The material is soft and lightweight contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe without adding bulk.
It is not affected by water or sweat making it suitable for active sports.
The material allows for good air circulation keeping the foot cool and dry during play.
It acts as a hot melt adhesive meaning it forms a strong bond with other materials when heated eliminating the need for separate adhesives in some applications.
