Hard Strobel refers to a variation of the common Strobel construction in which a stiff non-woven fabric board is added on top of the flexible Strobel sock often to provide additional support or a specific platform for tech elements like Nike's Zoom Air cushioning. While standard Strobel construction prioritizes flexibility and a lightweight feel by creating a seamless, sock-like upper, adding a hard Strobel board introduces rigidity and structure to the shoe's foundation, which is closer to the foot and is usually located between the cushioning and the insole.
- Stiff Insole Board:
- A hard piece of non-woven or canvas-like material is stitched or glued to the Strobel sock.
- Enhanced Support:
- Offers greater rigidity and stability compared to a basic Strobel construction.
- Location:
- The hard Strobel board sits above the foam midsole and under the insole or sockliner.
