Details

The midsole is one of the most important parts of the shoe . The part between the sole (outsole) and the upper part of the shoe. The midsole is the main element in the perception of the softness/hardness of the shoe, stability and in the perception of the terrain on which we move . This is the point of contact between the runner's foot and the shoe. Sports brands emphasize the development of the most ideal cushioning of their midsole.

RUBBERIZED FOAM , a patented combination of rubber and EVA foam = Ethylene-vinyl acetate. EVA is a soft, light and flexible polymer. One of the cheapest midsole materials, but also one of the least durable.

RUBBERIZED FOAM is the material used in the midsole of running shoes because it is characterized by less weight and at the same time offers the same durability as other materials.
