Sports shoes, also known as athletic shoes or sneakers, are specially designed footwear intended for physical activity and sports-related activities. They are engineered to provide comfort, support, and protection to the feet during various athletic endeavors. The midsole, located between the outer sole and the upper part of the shoe, often contains cushioning materials such as foam or gel to absorb shock and provide comfort during impact. The upper part of the shoe is usually made of breathable materials like mesh or synthetic fabrics to enhance airflow and keep the feet cool and dry.
