|[[File:HokaSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|The [[Hoka Bondi]]. The midsole is thick, but not as thick as it appears from the outside. Notice the rapid tapering of the midsole ahead of the ball of the foot.]]|[[File:OlympusSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|The [[Altra Olympus]]. This has a similar thickness to the Hoka, but notice the more gradual tapering of the midsole.]]

|[[File:ConquestSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|[[Hoka Conquest]]. Here you can see the holes in the rear of the midsole, presumably to soften the rather firm foam that is used.]]

|[[File:HattoriSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|Saucony Hattori. The upper of this issue is thinner and more flexible than most, so it looks like the heel is cut away when in fact it's just the material flopping in the photograph.]]
|[[File:GoRunSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|[[Skechers GO Run Ultra]]. See the full review for details of this somewhat complex shoe.]]

|[[File:EnergyBoostSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|Adidas Energy Boost. The phone used in this issue looks a little like Styrofoam/polystyrene, but it's actually remarkably tough to cut. You can also see a small indent in the top of the midsole where the foot pod would go.]]

|[[File:FreeSlice.JPG|none|thumb|x300px|Nike Free. The deep slices into the midsole make the Nike Free remarkably flexible for its cushioning.]]
