Reading time: 4 minutes | Last updated: 03 July 2025
Are you looking for both comfort and support? Then take a look at cushioning shoes! Good cushioning is essential for absorbing shocks. It reduces the impact on your joints and muscles while walking or standing. Constantly placing your feet on hard surfaces can lead to fatigue and stress on your joints and muscles. Shoes with cushioning help reduce the impact and provide a softer landing with every step you take. This reduces the strain on your feet and the rest of your body. In this blog, we’ll tell you more about cushioned shoes.
When do you need cushioned shoes?
Shoes with good cushioning can help alleviate your painful feet. For example, if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. Good cushioning is crucial if you suffer from this foot condition. It can contribute to reducing the pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterised by pain and inflammation in the heel. The condition is often caused by excessive stress and tension on the plantar fascia, the tissue under the foot. This results in inflammation of the heel bone. If you have plantar fasciitis, this can be very painful. Fortunately, the sole of shoes with good cushioning absorbs the shocks that occur when the foot hits the ground. This reduces the strain on the plantar fascia and the heel bone. The inflammation in your foot may decrease. So, with the right shoes, you’re already halfway there! In this blog, you can read more about shoes for plantar fasciitis.
And another great advantage? Good cushioning also helps reduce the risk of injuries. Cushioning shoes are designed to absorb impact and shocks that occur when your foot hits the ground. The strain on your muscles and joints is reduced. This can prevent sprains! In addition, the sturdy outsole, along with the well-designed upper, provides stability, helping to maintain your balance while walking. Wolky shoes are designed for walking for a reason!
What provides cushioning in shoes?
That’s an easy question to answer: the sole. A common material in cushioning shoes is an EVA sole (ethylene-vinyl acetate). This type of sole is lightweight and resilient. It offers excellent shock absorption without weighing down your shoes. The low weight of the EVA sole contributes to the comfort of your shoe. This means that your feet won’t get tired from the extra weight! Another advantage of EVA is that it is a durable material resistant to wear, even with prolonged use. So, you can cover quite a few miles!
