The Basic Anatomy of Sneakers Explained
The Basic Anatomy of Sneakers Explained
When you’re shopping for sneakers, it’s important to know exactly what it is you’re looking for. Do you need a pair for running? Or a pair to kick your feet up and look cool in? Regardless of the materials used or if they’re for fashion or function, every pair of basic sneakers are usually built with the same parts.
Knowing these parts can help you figure out the qualities you want in a new pair of sneakers. Use this guide and you’ll become more of a sneaker expert the next time you’re shoe shopping.
- Heel: The back part of the shoe. The heel raises up from the sole and acts as support for the back of the foot.
- Insole: The uppermost layer of the sole. It’s the part of the sneaker you put your foot on top of. It’s also usually one of the cheapest parts of the sneaker, after the laces. Insoles can affect your arches if the material is too thin or flat, and they are also removable.
- Lining: The inside of the shoe. The lining is the part of the sneaker that actually touches your feet and can serve several purposes, like cushioning and moisture-wicking, depending on the material used.
- Midsole: The layer of the sole between the insole or upper and the outsole. Usually formed from a lightweight material like foam, it provides shock absorption and adds comfort to a sneaker.
- Outsole: The outermost part of the sole. The outsole is the last layer of the sole and is the part that actually touches the ground. The type of outsole a shoe has determines its grip.
- Sole: The bottom portion of the shoe, the part that you put your foot on and walk on. It is made up of layers—the insole, midsole and outsole.
- Upper: The top portion of the shoe. The upper contains the rest of the parts that are attached to the sole, the parts that actually cover your foot.
- Toe Box: The section above the toes. The toe box is a part of the upper and functions as comfort and protection while enclosing the top of the foot.
What do you need in your next pair of sneakers? Now that you’ve got the terminology down, you’ll be able to find it with no problem.
Lace up and let's get down to the basics.
