The unique membrane of this material allows water vapour to escape while preventing water penetration, making it ideal for running shoes used in rainy or snowy climates.
PWRRUN (EVA): PWRRUN is a type of midsole used in Saucony running shoes that is made primarily of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). This foam is designed to provide a balance between cushioning and durability, making it suitable for everyday training. Compared to traditional EVA foam, PWRRUN is lighter, softer and more responsive, offering better energy return and comfort.
