Shoe LabelOnline version Labeling the parts of a shoe by Elli Nelson 1 Toebox 2 Outsole 3 Midsole 4 Upper 5 Heel Counter Explanation 1 As the name suggests, the toe box is the front of your shoe where your toes rest. Wider toe boxes allow more room for your toes to splay, thus reducing blister-causing friction. Some toe boxes (particularly those on trail shoes) include drainage to release water. 2 The outsole is the layer of foam on the bottom of your running shoe. The outsole is typically rubber and provides grip and traction on the road. If you plan on running on trails, you want to choose shoes with gripper rubber and lugs. 3 Just above the outsole is the midsole, a layer of foam that connects the upper to the outsole and provides cushioning. Typically, shoes with more cushion will have a thicker midsole, while more minimal shoes will have a thinner midsole. 4 The upper is the “pretty” part of the shoe. The upper refers to the entirety of the shoe that sits on the rubber sole. The upper serves more than an aesthetic purpose; it protects the foot and keeps your shoe snugly in place. The upper may boast single-piece construction or use hot-melt technology to replace traditional stitching for a seamless ride. 5 The heel drop measures the difference between the heel's height and the forefoot's (toe) height.
