The two types of midsoles with different hardness are used for necessary parts according to the characteristics of the sport being played. These two midsoles appropriately change their shape according to the load applied during movement, allowing instantaneous movements.For example, table tennis shoes have a midsole material with a low hardness arranged around the thenar part to support smooth lateral turns. Handball shoes and basketball shoes have a high hardness midsole material on the outside of the front part of the foot to reduce the lateral shift of the foot during lateral turns.
