The area of the shoe between the upper and outsole that's primarily responsible for the shoe's cushioning Most midsoles are made of foams: either EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or polyurethane EVA is lighter and more flexible than polyurethane, but it also breaks down more quickly Many midsoles also have additional cushioning elements such as air, gel and various embedded plastic units
