SATRA announces next footwear webinars

Registrations are being taken for SATRA’s live online presentations on issues 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, which will be presented at 10:00 BST and repeated as a recording at 16:00 BST to accommodate delegates who are located in North or South America:

Thursday 20^th August 2026 – ‘Sports footwear comfort’. This event is available to SATRA members only, who will explore how sports footwear comfort is being redefined through research at SATRA, and investigate ways that evolving expectations and advances in modern sports technology are affecting what it means to be ‘comfortable’.

Thursday 3^rd September 2026 – ‘Designing test methods and performance specifications’. The world of footwear testing is complex, and test methods are produced by numerous organisations. With such a wide range of documents available, it can be difficult to know which to use and how they are developed. Open to members and non-members, this webinar will explain how test methods are created and why they evolve.

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.
