Abstract

There is a shoe sole that has a continuous and uniform sole body. The sole body is configured to have a continuous curve so that both the toe region and the heel region flex upwards away from the mid-foot region and has a downward curving or a flat end region, allowing the mid-foot region of sole to flex toward a surface whereto the sole is placed. Preferably, the sole body is strong and resilient and made from a single type of material, such as iron, steel, aluminum alloy, titanium or resilient plastic. When a wearer steps on the shoe sole, the sole body is flattened. When wearer steps forward to walk or run, the heel region flexes up and provides a pushing force to the heel of the wearer, facilitating the walking or running motion.
