Problem: sole lip opening and sole waviness cased by an inadequate pressure at sole edges and foxing areas.

Impactiva solution: we got the factory to use a finger sole pressing machine instead of a balloon pressing machine to get good pressure at the sole wall and edges. In this way we managed to avoid sole lip opening and waviness.
