The nora® Compakt K wedge strips are hard, wear-resistant rubber strips designed for universal use in orthopedic footwear, prosthetic applications, and shoe repair. Manufactured with a 13 rippled profile, these strips provide excellent grip, durability, and bonding performance, making them ideal for wedges, build-ups, and corrective elements in orthopedic shoes and orthotic modifications.
With a hardness of approximately 87 Shore A, Compakt K offers high resistance to compression and wear, ensuring long service life even under heavy walking loads. The rippled surface improves flexibility and adhesion, allowing secure bonding to soles, heels, and midsole materials using standard footwear adhesives.
Supplied in convenient strip dimensions, Compakt K wedge strips are easy to cut, shape, and grind, making them suitable for both workshop fabrication and repair work.
