Abstract

A footwear sole includes a footwear sole base with a forefoot region, a mid-foot region, and a heel region. A lower heel cushion is positioned in the heel region. An upper heel cushion is positioned over the lower heel cushion. A shank with reinforcement ribs is positioned in the mid-foot region. A forefoot stabilizer is positioned in the forefoot region. The forefoot stabilizer includes an axial spine and lateral ribs to facilitate forward movement and lateral support. The footwear sole may be used in combination with a foot bed with a flexible base and a rigid orthotic structure. The foot bed may include elastomer cushioning domes at heel and metatarsal impact points. The foot bed may include a liner with moisture wicking and anti-mic.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to footwear. More specifically, the present invention relates to shoe soles with components that promote shock absorption, foot stability, and natural gait. Background technique [0002] Various efforts have been made to improve the properties of shoe soles. These efforts have only addressed a single problem, such as shock absorption in the heel area. Unfortunately, even focusing on a single problem only yields a second-best design to solve them. Furthermore, a design resulting from a focus on solving a single problem constitutes a stack of discrete components or stacks. These designs are not integrated and operate in an orderly manner to improve the performance of the sole. [0003] In view of the foregoing, it would be desirable to provide an improved shoe sole. In particular, it is desirable to provide a sole that optimally addresses individual concerns, such as shock absorption and foot stability, while ...
