EVA in Running Shoe Midsoles

Comparison of experimental and predicted force versus crush distance for ribs, of EPP foam of density 43 kg m, having varying top half widths in mm (a.20) 

Dubois (76) described the use of crosslinked blends of PE and ESI in shoes. In blends with EVA, there is an improvement in the 23 °C compression set value alternatively a softer foam with greater resiliency can be obtained with the same compression set compared with EVA.
