SATRA announces next webinar dates

Registrations are being taken for SATRA’s live online presentations on an issue relating to the production of footwear.

SATRA’s programme of regular webinars presented on a variety of key industry topics is proving very popular with members around the world. Hundreds of online attendees have taken advantage of this provision, all of whom have the opportunity to pose questions before the event, during the presentation or afterwards. Answers can then be provided either as a live response at the conclusion of the session (when it is presented live) or as personalised emailed advice, which is a particularly valuable service whenever confidential information about the member’s products needs to be discussed.

Forthcoming SATRA webinars include the following events, reserved for SATRA Members only. These will be presented at 10:00 GMT and repeated as a recording at 16:00 GMT to accommodate delegates located in North or South America:

Thursday 19^th November 2026 – ‘Underfoot performance’. Join us to investigate how footwear outsole, midsole and plate technologies interact to influence performance. This member-only webinar will also consider supercritical foam, carbon plate variations, rocker geometries, stack heights and underfoot comfort. In addition, the session will explore why no single component works in isolation, and how complete system design affects testing.

Thursday 3^rd December 2026 – ‘The importance of fitting’. Whether a company undertakes shoe fitting trials in-house, uses SATRA’s fitting service or relies on suppliers to check fit, it is crucial that everyone involved in getting footwear to market has a good understanding of the importance of fit. This webinar will discuss the significance of this characteristic and why we study it.

Online library of video presentations

In addition to the regular live events, SATRA has built an online library of recordings of the webinars as well as supplementary video presentations on many key footwear-related issues, access to which is reserved for member companies. This online provision ensures that all members who were unable to watch the live online events can still benefit from the experience of SATRA’s experts and other industry figures by logging onto the dedicated website section at www.satra.com/resources whenever they choose.

SATRA members can also access a comprehensive library of SATRA Bulletin technical articles and other industry-related information at this location.
