Underfoot cushioning and support

This Saucony track and field shoe has a midsole that is comprised of die-cut EVA material. The EVA midsole is the right combination of underfoot cushioning and support. It efficiently absorbs the impact, and it also doubles the amount of the shoe's flexibility.

The EVA midsole is made of tiny bubbles combined together to hold the air that is then compressed. These compressed bubbles then become the EVA foam material that provides cushioning, protection, and shock absorption in the Saucony Soarin J 2.

Ultra-soft, sock-like feel

The Soarin J 2's upper boasts an ISOFIT shoe technology. It is a stretchable mesh that adapts to the foot's size, shape, and movement, creating an ultra-soft, sock-like feel.

The ISOFIT upper provides a form-fitting, secure fit that adapts to the wearer's foot. It also has enough flexibility to remain comfortable, letting the feet move freely. 

Lightweight and supportive 

Another shoe technology found in the shoe's upper is the FLEXFILM. These are overlays made of a thin film that is welded to the upper for a snug, secure fit.

The FLEXFILM upper technology is both lightweight and supportive. These overlays also provide exoskeletal support without compromising the wearer's comfort.

Saucony Soarin J 2 offers a customized fit

Additionally, the Soarin J 2 now sports a cross strap across the forefoot for increased security.

It is then finished off by a padded tongue and collar, and also a lace-up closure system for a more customized fit feeling.
