I am working on a project on designing and testing new materials and different structure(3D-infill) configurations as prototypes for the mid-sole of a running shoe.
I was wondering about the functional properties that would be required from the mid-sole of a shoe to optimize its performance.
Any leads regarding mechanical/functional properties of running shoes, midsoles or regarding mechanical testing of midsoles would be very helpful.
This article will get you started and then you can go from there;
