Shoe materials are the main application area of EVA foam resin in China. The content of vinyl acetate in EVA foam resin used in shoe materials is generally between 15% and 22%.

Due to its softness, good elasticity, and chemical corrosion resistance, EVA foam resin blended foam products are widely used in the sole and interior materials of middle and high grade travel shoes, hiking shoes, slippers, and sandals. In addition, this material is also used in the fields of soundproofing boards, gymnastics mats, and sealing materials. Shunde and Zhongshan in Guangdong, Jinjiang and Quanzhou in Fujian, and Wenzhou in Zhejiang are the main production bases of China's footwear industry, consuming a large amount of EVA foam resin products every year.
