Midsole The layer of soft, shock-absorbing material between the outsole and the upper. This is the most important part of a running shoe, because the construction and materials used will impact the levels of both cushioning and motion control/stability in the shoe. Cushioning The amount of cushioning in the shoe is generally proportionate with the shoe's heel height. The two types of cushioning generally found in running shoes are EVA and Polyurethane.

Adidas ClimaCool running shoes review
Full Review 24 August 2004 - There is nothing like the Olympics to focus attention on running and track and field. Running is Adidas's biggest sports category and many athletes in Athens are using its ClimaCool kit. Designed to reduce the debilitating effects of heat, ClimaCool technology was pioneered with the ClimaCool running shoe. Ventilation may be vital if you are competing on a scorching track but do ClimaCools make a good, all year shoe for running at home? Gizmogirl put a pair to the test. The problem with any shoe is the amount of heat that it traps. A trainer designed with the ventilation of a sandal should be the perfect solution, especially if your feet are prone to over heating. Adidas's trainers are designed to manage moisture and give 360-degree ventilation to the foot. Using three dimensional fabric technology, the trainer absorbs and transfers moisture away from the skin in a process known as wicking: a similar process keeps babies' skin dry in disposable nappies. The trainers have a loose, open mesh upper with plastic vents to the front and sides.
