Cricket shoe sock liners often feature extra cushioning for improved comfort, support, control, shape, moisture, or smell of the shoe. The Midsole is the layer in between the outsole and the insole and generally makes up the majority of the sole unit's bulk. The midsole is largely designed for shock absorption. The heel makes up the bottom rear part of the cricket shoe and is usually made from stiffer materials designed to offer maximum support to the heel of the foot. The outsole is the layer in direct contact with the ground. In the case of most cricket shoes, the outsole will be made from a highly durable material such as Polyurethane.
