Features
1. The most important part of a running shoe is the midsole, usually made of polyurethane (PU) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which offers cushioning and keeps the foot steady during running.
Types
2. There are several types of running shoes, including performance training (for long-distance runners), racing shoes, off-road and motion control.
Considerations
3. Good quality running shoes can often be determined by the amount of padding they provide on the tongue (upper portion of the shoe) and the back, where rubbing is more likely.
Potential
4. The midsole is the most popular part of the shoe for innovation technology. This is where manufacturers can easily insert gel, air bubbles and other shock absorbing materials.
Expert Insight
5. When shopping for running shoes, experts recommend not doing it in the morning, as feet swell during the day, as well as during the running process
