The Anatomy of Running Shoes for Men
- The soft body of your shoe is the upper. The upper often blends multiple materials. Responsive knit fabrics provide a more supportive fit, which is ideal for sprinters and minimalist runners. Mesh inserts and perforated panels along the upper offer much-needed breathability.
- Look for styles with an internal sockliner. An inner liner enhances the fit of your shoe. Many liners feature moisture-wicking fabrics, which help lift sweat from skin to keep you fresh.
- The midsole of your men's running shoe provides cushioning and, in certain shoe types, helps better distribute your weight as you run. Keep in mind padding when examining the midsole of your new shoe. Lightweight foam or EVA provides contoured and light cushioning.
- The bottom layer of your shoe is called the outsole. The outsole provides grip, stability and impact absorption—all critical factors for runners. Outsoles with flexible grooves help provide a more natural gait. Trail-running shoes for men often have denser outsoles, lugs and traction-maximizing patterns for better grip.
