In recent years, whether it is domestic or international brands of running shoes, there have been A lot of new mid-sole technology, what Tai Chi,, A-flax, light foam, see everyone dazzling, what is their essence, whether there are similar physical properties between similar materials. understanding these questions is not only an answer to our curiosity, but also a meaningful way to help us not spend money to choose a shoe that is right for us.

First of all, determination what is the middle sole material of a pair of shoes, beside the online evaluation and product introduction page to introduce the technology to write the information, the other is that many shoes will write the shoe upper, sole material at the end of the introduction page, according to this information can basically judge the middle sole of a pair of shoes. However, there is a nonsense in this, that is, many brands often write - TPE, what is TPE, is synthetic rubber, all the mid-sole cushion-absorbing material is TPE, so the writing is actually the same as not writing.

EVA
The most common mid-sole material of running shoes called EVA, actually it is E+VA two materials, the different of the respective content also affect the performance of this running shoe. where E is ethylene and VA is vinyl acetate. as the most widely used mid-sole material for running shoes, Technologies that use EVA materials include Nike’s lunar, react, cushion, phylon, Adidas’s cloudfoam, adiprene, Li Ning’s lightfoam, Peak magic bullet, Xtep’s featherfoam, Anta ‘s flashfoam, Brooks is selling a range of DNA technologies, Sauconie's Pwrrun, and more.

In fact, we can find that the shoe feeling of EVA mid-sole material is very different, which is also the most extreme material we develop, adding the different proportion, foaming method, foaming degree of EVA will affect the mid-sole performance of running shoes.

The advantage of EVA material is the relatively low cost, and the very soft and comfortable of the foot feeling,the disadvantage is that the feedback is not as well as pebax, also the rebound rate is not as high,especially if the degree of foaming is relatively large that affect its life and limit. For example, Adidas's light strike, Peak's hydrogen nitrogen (mixed with pebax) which feels its force limit is not high.

However, for the vast majority of daily running, EVA can provide more comfortable cushioning, will not cause too much impact on the knee, and the price of shoes is not expensive, is a very good choice.
In addition, not only the mid-sole of running shoes, but also the packaging materials of many goods we buy are also made of EVA material as a buffer.
