Problem: the factory was using hot melt adhesive to paste the insocks, but the machine was not set correctly, and a lump of adhesive could be easily felt under the insock, resulting in uncomfortable wearing.

Impactiva solution: we got the machine set correctly and adhesive sprayed in order to avoid clotting, what improved insocks pasting. We also suggested the factory to change the machine and apply the adhesive on the insocks rather than on the outsoles.
