Waterproof running shoes designed for the trails are constructed with aggressive tread designs that help to cling to the ground better than normal running shoes. The soles of these shoes are also more massive than non-trail shoes. This section of the shoe is also referred to as the outsole. The thicker sole makes the shoe not as flexible as a regular runner. So if you have never worn trail shoes before this is something you may have to get use to. But like anything else you will adapt to it over time.
The midsole is the part of the shoe that concentrates on the comfortability of the shoe. This part is positioned just above the outsole of the shoe, and covers the entire length. Stability, flexibility, and durability all play a big role in the construction of this part of the shoe.
The insole sets right above the midsole and underneath your foot. This is another section that helps to create the comfort of a shoe. The insole assists in helping to control foot motion and stability. In most cases these insoles can be removed and replaced. Other terms for insoles are called footbeds or innersoles.
The upper front part of this shoe consist of the toe shoe area. This is the part of the shoe where your toes and ball of your foot are set. The outside section of this shoe is covered with a dense piece of material to help protect the toe area. This is to help prevent objects from piercing through and damaging your toes while on the trails.
The main upper area of the shoe is constructed of a durable breathable mesh. And when talking about waterproof running shoes designed for the trails, this is the part that is conditioned so that it can prevent water from entering the shoe. And at the same time it is also designed to allow your foot to breath. This waterproof durable mesh is usually made of Gore-Tex?a waterproof/breathable fabric. The use of Gore-Tex?or other waterproofing materials is what separates a waterproof running shoe made for the trails from a traditional trail running shoe and traditional runners.
The heel counter is the back part of the shoe that helps to support your heel. This component of the shoe is especially needed for those who land on their heel when walking or running (which is most of us). The heel counter is built inside of the heel cup and is usually made with a hard plastic.
So to sum up a lot of waterproof running shoes are designed after trail shoes. And the main features of trail shoes are the Outsole, Insole, MideSole, Toe Box, Upperbody, and Heel Counter. Every manufacturer has its own description for each part of the shoe but the basic are all the same.
