Abstract: Disclosed is a sole for a running shoe, comprising a sole tip (4), a heel edge (5) and a midsole (1) having a base surface delimiting the midsole against the vertical direction (V) of the midsole and a top surface (2) delimiting the midsole in the vertical direction (V), wherein the midsole (1) has a heel region (FB), a midfoot region (MFB) and a forefoot region (VFB) and wherein the midsole (1) has an elastic plate (6), wherein the elastic plate (6) extends at least from the forefoot region (VFB) into the midfoot region (MFB), and wherein the elastic plate (6) in the forefoot region (VFB) and/or in the midfoot region (MFB) has a first curvature (61) with a vertex (S-61) curved along the longitudinal direction (L) of the midsole (1) in the direction of the top surface (2) of the midsole (1), wherein the elastic plate (6) is formed in such a way that the first curvature (61) is elastically bent in the direction of the base surface (3) by the forces acting during treading and/or rolling movement, and the first

Abstract: Disclosed is a sole for a running shoe having a midsole (1), the midsole (1) having a soft-elastic top layer (2) and a soft-elastic bottom layer (3), a flexurally elastic incompressible plate (4) being arranged in the vertical direction (V) between the top layer (2) and the bottom layer (3), and the bottom layer (3) having a plurality of channels (31a, 31a, 31b, 31c) extending in the transverse direction (Q), the channels (31a, 31b, 31c) of the bottom layer (3) being deformable vertically (V) and/or horizontally in the longitudinal direction (L) under the action of forces acting vertically (V) and/or in the longitudinal direction (L) and occurring during running.
